When these teams first met at Foxboro, the Jets lost by 7 but they were almost an equal opponent despite not having Chris Ivory who got hurt pre-game. He had a few carries but wasn't the same. The Jets also lost Pryor, Skrine and RIchardson at one point. Pryor was a key loss because he was covering the TEs quite well. After Pryor went down, Gronkowski was 6/7 and before he was 5/9. They had a lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter and Marshall dropped an easy TD which resulted into 20-16 instead of 23-16. Brandon LaFell also dropped like 4-5 passes (2/8) so that probably made up.Between then and now the Patriots lost Edelman, Dobson, Amendola and two OL Wendell and Jackson. Stork, McCourty and Chandler are highly Q when I get it right. The Jets are very healthy.Again, the Jets match up very well with the Pats. I highly doubt that Tom Brady will have a huge completion game with this receiving corps. The Pats look vulnerable when they can't get their TEs into a rhythm. The Jets are one of the best teams against TEs as shown in game 1 until Pryor went down. As we know, the NE defense isn't great and got problems when not facing a 3-5 win team. Jets offense will have a better game than in October with Ivory healthy.It sounds crazy, but the Pats don't really need this game as the Bengals and Broncos meet each other on Monday. Bill Belichick won't go all in here to desperately win. Last season in week 16 they went to New York in an equal situation and they won a 17-16 stinker against Geno Smith.Lean: Jets +3
