New England Patriots at New York Jets 2010 NFL Predictions, Odds, and Picks Week 2: Head football coach Bill Belichick takes the New England Patriots on the road to the New York Jets new $1.6 Billion dollar Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday at 4:15 PM in a battle for supremacy in the tough AFC East. The Pats looked good in their opener but the Jets struggled on offense and after all the talk lost in week 1. Going 0-2 would put head football coach Rex Ryan on “Ryan Island” as only three teams have ever gone to the Super Bowl with such an awful start. One is the Patriots when Brady took over the reigns as quarterback and hasn’t let go other than his injury season 2 years ago. The Jets have talked a big game the entire offseason and it’s time to walk the walk. The odds makers at BetUS have the New England Patriots -3 point favorites on the road against the New York Jets.
New England is coming off a home win where they shut down the dynamic duo and pounded the Cincinnati Bengals 38-24 at home covering the spread and the total going OVER. Quarterback Tom Brady looked on form going 25 for 35 for 258 yards and 3 touchdowns hitting favorite target Wes Welker for an early touchdown and 8 balls total for 64 yards. The worked out together over the offseason. “I spent a lot of time with him,” Brady said. “I knew in February or March that he was going to be back on the field on opening day.” Vegas odds makers have the New England Patriots as +1100 odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl.
The New York Jets may have won the battle of the words, but got hard knocked when it came to game time losing 10-9 to the Baltimore Ravens at home without scoring a touchdown. Quarterback Mark Sanchez struggled going 10 for 21 for just 74 yards while LaDanian Tomlinson carried 11 times for 62 yards. The defense played well holding the Ravens to just 10 points but it wasn’t enough for a victory with their stagnant offense. NY Jets are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games when playing New England and the total has gone UNDER in 7 of New England’s last 9 games on the road. Vegas odds makers have the over/under for the total score at 38 1/2 points combined of the New England Patriots and New York Jets.
The Jets has a lot of things go their way in the drive to the playoffs last year and all the bravado doesn’t result in wins, you have to get results on the field. I predict a Patriots victory and cover on the road. Note: Rich Fritz is a Blog Writer on NSAwins.com and not a pro handicapper.
