After dominating the Patriots, 24-3, the Jets have lost four in a row. Those defeats came to the Broncos, Vikings, Bills and Steelers. The combined record of those teams is 19-9. Now the Jets drop way down in class getting the Patriots again. 

New England hasn't won since opening week. The Patriots have lost six in a row with their past five defeats being by an average of 15.8 points. 
The Jets have gotten two key reinforcements - Davante Adams and elite pass rusher Haasan Reddick, who has 27 sacks the past two years going into this season. He was second in the NFL in sacks two seasons ago. 

The Patriots have regressed defensively due to injuries and a suspension to safety Jabril Peppers. Among those out for New England are Christian Barrmore, their top defensive lineman, and their best linebacker, Ja'Whuan Bentley. 

Drake Maye is a downfield passing upgrade on Jacoby Brissett. The Patriots have multiple offensive line injuries and are well below par at wide receiver. The rookie Maye has to face an above average Jets defense with these handicaps. 

I expect the Jets to be highly motivated to end their losing streak especially after Adams and Aaron Rodgers questioned the team's energy following a 37-15 loss to the Steelers last Sunday. 

On the flip side, I question the morale of the Patriots and the ability of first-year head coach Jerod Mayo. The Patriots also could be flat from lingering jet lag having played in London last Sunday where they got blown out by the lowly Jaguars.
