—My Pick: The Jets to NOT cover. While I see the Jets as the better team with the much better quarterback at this point, this is an inter-divisional game, which usually leads to tighter games around the league, making a near touchdown line seem large. The key to this game will be the Patriots rushing attack vs. the Jets’ rushing attack and how the two defenses handle each. Despite a small sample size, the Patriots are faring much better at running the ball and stopping the run than the Jets through the season’s first two games.
