Jets vs. Patriots Predictions For NFL Week 8, Sunday 10/27

As mentioned, we’ve already seen the Jets vs. Patriots matchup this season, which was actually just over a month ago. Our TNF picks easily hit the under 38.5 points, as there was just a total of 27 points scored.

The total has actually been listed a bit higher than that first matchup, but it’s still one of the lowest on the board. Speaking of the lowest on the board, that’s where these two teams find themselves - at the bottom of the AFC East with a combined record of just 3-11. Despite that, we still see New York as significant favorites - even on the road!

That can certainly cause hesitancy when it comes to locking in Jets vs. Patriots predictions, but we’ve got you covered with our best bet. 
 

 

 

New York Jets: Bringing The Energy

Before we get that far, what exactly is going on with the Jets? Thanks to QB Aaron Rodgers and his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, we at least get some kind of insight to an answer. This Tuesday, the theme of his comments was energy.

He was sure to reiterate that it all starts with him, but that the team needs to bring the positive energy, play loose and have fun after understanding the best and worst of every situation. Rodgers went on to say that the team has been playing angry rather than controllable energy.

Whether you buy into the things that Rodgers says or not, with the team sitting at 2-5, this AFC East rivalry is all but a must-win for their playoff chances.
 

 

 

New England Patriots: Letting Go Of London

The 2024 NFL London games have already concluded, and not in the way that the Pats and their fans would have preferred. They allowed a then 1-5 Jacksonville Jaguars team to double their team total in a 32-16 loss.

Head coach Jerod Mayo also didn’t mince words when discussing his team, either. He called them out in what many players would consider to be the worst way possible - he called them soft. However, while the loss dipped New England to 1-6 on the year, there are still plenty who have hopes for the future with rookie QB Drake Maye.

Along with what we noted above in terms of New York being clear road favorites, you can see the latest Jets vs. Patriots odds at DraftKings Sportsbook below:

 

 

Jets vs. Patriots Predictions: Under 41.5 Points (-110 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

We’re going back to the well. After all, if it isn’t broken, why fix it? As we’ve already shared, the under 38.5 points easily hit the first time these division rivals met, and we haven’t seen anything for us to think that it won’t hit again.

Perhaps the reason for the tick-up in terms of the listed total is the Jets adding a weapon in WR Davante Adams, but we all saw how that turned out on Sunday Night Football this past weekend - they scored just 15 points on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

New York was also a road favorite for that matchup, albeit by just 2.5 points, but not only did they not cover, but they lost by 22 points! On top of that, the Jets offense has only gotten worse since their 24-3 win over the Pats on Thursday Night Football. Since that victory, they haven’t scored over 20 points a single time, including a 10-9 loss immediately following TNF.

The Pats side of the matchup doesn’t take nearly as much convincing, as they already entered the season with arguably the worst offense in the NFL. They’ve performed exactly as expected, as their 14.1 points per game are tied for the second-fewest in the league.

Even if it does end up being a blowout like the 24-3 game, we can still easily see a low-scoring game, so the best bet from our Jets vs. Patriots predictions is under 41.5 points (-110 at DraftKings Sportsbook).
