So that’s two weeks in a row New England fell behind by double-digits early, tried to battle back, but came up short. The Patriots opened this season by spotting Philadelphia the first 16 points of the game, battled back late to within about 10 yards of the lead, but lost 25-20.
Jets NFL Betting Preview
New York is 1-1 on the season after falling at Dallas last Sunday 30-10. The Jets, trying to move on without Aaron Rodgers, gave up the first 10 points of the game and trailed 18-10 at the half. New York then came up totally empty in the second half and whiffed ATS at +8.
The Jets got out-gained by the Cowboys 382-215, and 68 of New York’s yards came on one play. The Jets also got out-rushed 134-64, lost time of possession 42:18, and turned the ball over four times. Yee-ouch.
New York opened this season with that unlikely 22-16 overtime victory over Buffalo. The Jets lost Rodgers to that Achilles injury on the first series of the game and trailed almost all night but received four Bills turnovers and won the game on a punt return in OT!

Free NFL Betting Pick
New England’s lost a couple of tough games to a couple of good teams. Offensively, we believe they should run the ball more, but defensively, they’re still solid. If they can just avoid trailing by double-digits right out of the gate, they might be all right. New York, meanwhile, remains hard to figure. Defensively, they’re fine, but offensively, they’re offensive to our football senses. Also, the Patriots just own the Jets as of late. We like New England for Sunday.
