With just shy of 70% of the spread betting action on the Patriots, the books most certainly have an opinion on New York covering Monday night. We suspect a 9-point win by New England and Gambling911.com will be taking the Jets +10, the number that is so widely available.
While it is true the Patriots have dominated New York in recent games, half of the last ten were covered by the Jets using today's spread.
New York was forced to go with third-string quarterback Luke Falk and was totally outclassed in the first matchup, but it hopes to turn the tables with starter Sam Darnold back in the lineup.
"He's a good quarterback," New England coach Bill Belichick said of Darnold. "We saw him at the end of the year last year. He can make all the throws. Big, strong kid."
The Patriots suffocated the Jets on Sept. 22, allowing only 105 total yards in posting their seventh straight win in the series, and have yet to permit more than 14 points.
"I think for us, when you get locked in on trying to break the dynasty or tear them down, that's when you start losing control of yourself," Darnold said of not placing too much emphasis on the revenge factor versus New England, which has not played since beating the New York Giants on Oct. 10.
