AAA's EARLY 10* *Patriots/Jets* BLOCKBUSTER!
(NFL) New England vs. NY Jets,
Point Spread: 11.50 | -127.00 NY Jets (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the New York Jets.

While I won't go so far as to call for an outright upset, I do definitely feel that the home side comes to play today as I'm expecting the Jets to keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. The Pats would wrap up the AFC East last week and while they still need two wins to ensure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, I do believe this contest sets up as a bit of a mental letdown spot for the visitors. New York plays with revenge as well after falling 27-25 in New England back on October 16th. In fact, four of New York's last five in the series have been decided by three points or fewer and the Jets won last season's meeting in the Big Apple 30-27 in overtime. When you take a closer look at the numbers, it's almost impossible to believe that New York hasn't actually taken one of these contests as the Jets have held the Patriots to an average of just 283.3 yards and 22.3 points per game over the last three. The Jets have the sixth-ranked defense and are especially strong against the run, limiting the opposition to just 87.5 yards for the fourth-lowest average in the NFL. New York's biggest issue is with offensive consistency, but through all of the tumult this season, the Jets' run game has remained a bright spot, the unit has gained 166.6 YPG since the setback to the Patriots. And note that the Jets come in with some momentum and confidence as well after betting Tennessee 16-11 last Sunday, QB Geno Smith has two TD's and two INT's over his last three games. Note that New England is already just 1-2 ATS this year vs. teams with losing records, while New York is 2-0 ATS in its last two as an underdog of 10 points or more. When taking into account all of the above factors, all signs do indeed point to the JETS as the savvy move here.
