Against the Spread (ATS) Pick
The Patriots have lost four games in a row and are coming off a 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. But as bad as New England has been, the Jets are on a whole other level of awful. The Jets are 0-8 SU and 1-7 ATS, and they've been getting hammered in those contests with an average scoring margin of minus-18 points per game.
While Bill Belichick and the Pats aren't Super Bowl contenders for the first time in more than a decade, they rank a respectable 14th in the league in total defense and are 21st in total offense. The Jets are dead-last in offense while sitting 26th in defense.
New York is coming off a 35-9 shellacking against the Chiefs, and their closest game of the season was an 8-point loss against the Bills in Week 7. Keep fading the Jets and take New England on the spread.
PREDICTION: New England -7.5 (-110)
Over/Under Pick
The Jets are the worst offensive team in the league, and it's not even close. Adam Gase's squad is averaging just 11.8 points and 259 yards per game, more than six points and 30 yards lower than the second-worst Giants.
The Patriots are scoring a meager 19.4 points per game, fourth-fewest in the league, and that number has dipped to 12.3 ppg over their last four contests.
The Under is 4-1 in the Pats' last five games as a favorite and 5-0 in the Jets' previous five contests as an underdog. With the Under also 7-1 in the previous eight meetings between these teams, take it again on Monday night.
PREDICTION: Under 42 (-110)
First Quarter Bet
Cam Newton and the Patriots offense has been completely inept recently, with Newton throwing for 429 yards and zero touchdowns against five interceptions over the last three games. They've also gotten off to extremely slow starts all season long, averaging a league-low 1.0 ppg during the first quarter.
The Jets haven't been much better early, scoring 2.9 first-quarter ppg. Expect another slow start from these ugly offenses and take the first-quarter Under.
PREDICTION: First Quarter Under 7.5 (-120)
