It’s been a humbling season so far for Bill Belichick. The Hoodie’s divorce with Tom Brady has gone the quarterback’s way, so far anyway. Cam Newton has proven to be a flash in the pan as Brady’s replacement while Brady and the Buccaneers hold first place in the NFC South. As was learned last year the Patriots lacked sufficient firepower to surround Brady with. Which was a big reason for Brady’s departure for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay has vastly more in its NFL betting assets than the Patriots. Looking back, we now know that Brady got more out of New England than any other quarterback possibly could have.

In this situation the Jets have nothing in the way of NFL odds appeal. New England is down but seen as the only choice with gamblers. Sharps are even hesitant to take the touchdown and home dog Jets.
Patriots Lack Firepower and Legit QB
New England is coming off a 24-21 loss at Buffalo as 4-point road dogs with the game going under 41. As a result, the Patriots are 2-5 straight up, 3-4 against the spread and 3-4 under the total. New England ranks 21st for total offense and 29th for scoring. Defensively the Patriots are 14th overall and 12th for points allowed.

Jets Are Primed for Imperfect Season
