Go heavy on NE -9.5

[phlew]

and what exactly did the raiders have vs every team before playing the high powered Chargers? So what exactly is the difference in these 2 matchups? IMO, nothing! What's their relation? Division rivals...

agree.... not to mention the raiders kept it within ten to the patriots in Foxboro this year.

Injuries dont matter with the Pats - They were the most injured riddled team LY and were in the AFC championship game....

15 point differential and 3 TO margin, Pats have the Defense and the better QB - Pat's win win by DD

The weather may bring the line down, and anything less than 10 is a play on NE, IMO. Normally I don't like laying points like that, but Billichick Hates Rex, and now that he's struggling and his job is in jeopardy, BB won't hesitate to rub it in his face while he still can. I thought the Jets would play their best game last week, after the embarrassment at SD, and they did. Unfortunately for their betting backers, they got screwed on a fluke play at the end. That emotional well will be empty this week, in a short week on the road.

Despite being biased, there is no way in hell I am going to listen to or read another Jets thread claiming they are going to cover. I have been burned way too many times by the Jets, learned my lesson years ago when they started Mark Sanchez.

With that said, Ridley is out and I think it will make a difference. I'm not sure how big, yet, but I am on NE small until I watch them play a game without Ridley. I will agree with the OP though, they are better than people think, and everyone who thought the sky was falling last weekend looked pretty silly.

Bet Pats if the line is decent or this game is a no bet. I haven't checked them out, I'll probably wait and place a small bet on NE last second. GL.

I don't think they'll miss Ridley at all, they're a RBBC team anyhow, the committee just changes a tad

I think it's the Mayo injury that leaves a big hole to fill and opens up a lot of questions

Completely agree w/ you Willie.......the RB situation doesn't matter. In addition, Mayo's injury won't matter......the Jets flat out suck and doesn't matter. As long as they have Geno Smith and scrub RBs back there, you can count on a NE cover....
