ESPN unanimously picks Patriots over Jets
ESPNBoston:
Uh oh! I never like being so heavily favored. Always cautious of the jinx.
I don't think the Patriots are going to roll the Jets like everyone else seems to. These games are always close, with the one exception being the 45-3 Monday night game in 2010. Even last year when the Patriots beat the Jets 35-16 in New York it was a seven point game in the fourth quarter.
I think when you pit division rivals against each other, you throw how they've done against other opponents out the window. For the most part. These teams are very familiar with each other and that always counts for a lot.
Has the Jets offense struggled? Sure. We also hear about how they've struggled every year and they always seem to have some modicum of success against the Patriots.
This just seems to be the same story on the Jets that we hear every year. Sure, they are beat up but I still think they're dangerous to this team.
