Date/Time: Sunday, October 21 / 04:10:00 PM ET, Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MAIt’s an interesting time to bet on football, to say the least. There are 11 teams with evenly split records days before entering the NFL Week 7. You’ve got a four-way tie for first in the AFC East. And in the entire AFC, only two teams—the Ravens and the Texans—have winning records.
It’s the AFC East that our attention turns to as the New England Patriots and New York Jets go head to head in a game that should be solid on every inch of the field. What more can you expect with two teams who love to hate each other setting their sites on a victory—not to mention a Jets coach who has the guts to predict a victory against one of the top offenses in the NFL.
Last season, New England swept the Jets 30-21 and 37-16. Although, things seem to be different this time. The Patriots are coming off a 24-23 loss to Seattle on Week 7, and the Jets got a much needed ego boost after a solid 35-9 win over the Colts last week. Despite last week's performance, the Jets are double-digit underdogs entering Sunday's game.
New England fans should feel pretty stoked that Jets coach Rex Ryan isn’t interested in throwing Tebow into QB position to replace Mark Sanchez, so the Pats aren’t really in any danger of being Tebowed.
But Sanchez, no matter how unappreciated he might be by Jets fans, has definitely looked a lot more comfortable last week. That’s especially true now that he has some solid and healthy players to throw to, particularly wide receiver Stephen Hill.
The Jets’ offense was five for five in scoring TDs in the red zone last week against Indianapolis, but this week they’ll need to pass the ball way more often—and make longer gains—against New England’s 28th ranked pass defense.
Game Odds:
New York Jets: +10.5 -110, ML +400
New England Patriots: -10.5 -110, ML -500
Game Total: 47, o/u -110
