Bitter AFC East rivals square off in primetime as Jacoby Brissett and the New England Patriots take on Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets.

For the first time in his career, Rodgers will face the New England Patriots as the quarterback for the Jets. The veteran signal-caller was 2-2 against the Pats in his time with Green Bay.

The Jets are the Thursday Night Football odds favorites at our best NFL betting sites, and our first touchdown scorer predictions focus on Rhamondre Stevenson and Breece Hall.

New England started its season with a surprising upset win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and they have won 15 of the last 16 against the Jets.

Patriots first touchdown scorer prediction: Rhamondre Stevenson, RB ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +600 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 14.29%

Stevenson scored a touchdown in New England’s first two games, one of which, against the Cincinnati Bengals, was the opening score.

He scored four touchdowns last season and has become a more prominent part of the Patriots' offense through two games.

The Jets surrendered a rushing touchdown to the Titans to open the scoring last week while allowing two rushing touchdowns against the 49ers in Week 1.

I anticipate the Jets secondary forcing New England to work the ground game, putting Stevenson in a solid spot to cash this bet.

A $10 bet here will give you a $65 profit.

Jets first touchdown scorer prediction: Breece Hall, RB ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +320 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 23.81%

Hall crossed the goal line in both games to start the 2024 campaign.

In Week 1, he opened the scoring for the Jets in San Francisco. He also caught a touchdown pass in New York’s win over Tennessee.

Hall found the end zone nine times last season, scoring four in his last three contests. Two of those last four scores opened the Jets' touchdown account.

The Patriots have conceded four touchdowns to their opponents this season, three of which were on the ground.

Hall should be a focal point of the Jets' attack, particularly in the red zone. He also has a 23.7% target share, the highest by a running back two weeks intro the season over the last 4 years.

A winning $10 bet will profit $32.
