Jets vs. Patriots Prediction
I’m on the under here. This is a bad spot for New England coming off of the international game with no bye week in between and an offense that was struggling mightily already. On the other side, the Jets’ offense looks broken still even with the addition of Davante Adams, and I just think this is going to be an ugly 60 minutes. Give me the under.
