New York Jets (1-5) vs New England Patriots (4-2)
Current Odds: New England -10 Over/Under 45
The New York Jets put up a good fight against a formidable Denver team last week, but came up just short. Questionable coaching calls, QB injuries and turnovers have proved to be too much to overcome for the Jets so far this season. Now they head to New England to take on a Patriot team that seems to be playing with confidence after they were questioned by the media and their fans just 2 short weeks ago. New England is coming off of impressive back to back wins over the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.
New England’s top RB Stevan Ridley went down last week and is likely out for the season. Shane Vereen and Brandon Bolden will step in to try and help the Pats continue their winning momentum.
Tom Brady is getting comfortable with his WR’s and TE Rob Gronkowski, and will look to take advantage of a weak Jets secondary. A healthy Gronkowski gives Brady the confidence of knowing his check down receiver will most likely be open.
10 points is a large spread. New England seems to be clicking right now and should win the game, but the Jets will keep it close.
Free Pick: Jets +10
Minnesota Vikings (2-4) vs Buffalo Bills (3-3)
Current Odds: Buffalo -4 Over/Under 43
The Minnesota Vikings have not looked good the past few games. A 17-3 home loss last week to the Detroit Lions was riddled with turnovers. Can rookie QB Teddy Bridewater bounce back with a better effort this weekend?
The Buffalo Bills are also coming off a loss to their AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots. Three second quarter turnovers by Buffalo led to 13 New England points and proved to be too much for the Bills to overcome. Kyle Orton looks to better his performance against an inconsistent Vikings defense.
