NY Jets vs New England Patriots Prediction

Laying a touchdown on Thursday night is crazy because these games are usually sloppy due to the lack of preparation. However, the Jets are coming home to a feisty crowd that will finally see Rodgers and company for the first time. I’m also not sure how the Patriots are going to move the ball against this Jets defense. Offensively, the Jets will become more consistent the more reps they get under their belt. I don’t have much confidence in the Patriots’ offense to beat above average teams, especially on the road.

This feels like a Game that the Jets can win by a touchdown, so staying just under 7 points is key. I’ll lay the points with the home team.
