New York Jets vs New England Patriots
Thursday night NFL action has the Jets visiting New England. If last week was any indication, we should expect an exciting football game. Both teams eked out last second wins on the strength of their kickers legs.
Let's start off by revisiting the last time these two teams met. Thanksgiving night last year with New England pile-driving the Jets into the turf with a 49-19 thumping that is probably best remembered for the ‘Butt Fumble.' I can barely even type that without laughing! Well, things have changed. The Jets have basically handed over the franchise to rookie QB Geno Smith as it looks like Mark Sanchez will be heading to the IR sometime soon and his career with the Jets most likely over.
We will stay with the Jets for a moment. I have to tell you, I didn't think they would win last week and if there wasn't a bone head penalty, they probably wouldn't have. This team still lacks significant offensive playmakers and the simple truth is that Geno Smith, no matter how decent he looked last week, will suffer some growing pains. The defense looked solid, but again, that was facing Josh Freeman and not Tom Brady.
New England survived blowing a 10pt lead and pulled out a last second victory in Buffalo. But they didn't need a flag to get the job done, they just relied on their All-Pro QB Tom Brady. Now, I will tell you that I think the Patriots will suffer a ‘down' year by their standards. That being said, I still think there is value here even with this double digit number.
My Final Thoughts -
At first glance, I would be ready to gobble up a double digit division dog in a New York minute. I just can't on this occasion. I think that Tom Brady, regardless of who he throws to, is head and shoulders above Geno Smith and with him alone, the Patriots offense is probably 10 points better than the Jets. I also can't go against HC Bill Belichick here. I don't think New England is going to cough up another 75 yard fumble return for a TD. I also think the defense will also record a sack or two after not getting any last week. They just played a QB in EJ Manual who is similar to Geno Smith, a guy who can use his legs. I feel that back to back weeks vs QBs like this does nothing but the help the defense. Let's LAY THE WOOD with the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS.
