New York Jets (+3.5) @ New England Patriots
Over/Under 41.5
Line Source: scoresandodds
The Jets travel to New England tonight to take on the Patriots, in what we will be a showdown to remember. The legend and sure-fire future Hall of Fame Favre head-to-head with Brady's replacement Cassel. Sounds like a disadvantage already. Many people didn't expect Favre to be leading the Jets to a 6-3 record halfway through the season, however the same could be said about Cassel. The Jets schedule isn't all to scary so far this season, but they do hold wins at Buffalo and home to the Cardinals; in which Favre threw for 6 TD's that day! The Patriots hold wins over the Rams, 49ers, Chiefs, and defenseless Broncos. They have beat the Jets once already this season, 19-10; but this Jets team is different tonight! Favre was only 2 weeks in with his new team, he didn't know the system let alone the plays to much. Things have changed since then. The Jets have a legit passing game, with a running game better than the Patriots. The Patriots don't want to get into a shootout with the Jets, because Favre is the master of that.
These two head coaches know each other way to much. But the Patriots won't have alot of the same weapons they have had in the past when they played the Jets. No Tom brady, Rodney Harrison, Adalius Thomas who was in juried last week, just to name a few. Adalius Thomas was the best LB the Patriots had, and now that he's gone they will struggle to find a replacement for him in such a short notice. Add in losing Samuel to Philly in the off season and the age of this defense, and Favre may have himself a night to remember.
Both of these teams are 6-3 on the season, 4-1 at home, 2-2 on the road, 2-1 in the division, and 4-3 in conf. play, and 5-4 ATS on the season. Something has to change!
Favre and the Jets know what's on the line in tonights game. The Patriots have dominated the AFC East for years now. The Jets got Favre for this exact reason, to beat the Patriots. Tonight the Jets get their wish, as I look for Favre to manage the game, stick with the run, and be wise with the throws he makes. Jets have the slightly better edge to win this game straight up, and if your going to give me 3.5 points with the Jets in a game that could be decided by a last minute FG or which team has the ball last, I'll roll my dive and make the Jets a 5* play.
