New England Patriots (-2) @ New York Jets Over/Under: 38

New England’s offense came out firing on all cylinders last week as QB Tom Brady put on a clinic by completing 25-of-35 attempts for 258 yards and three TD’s. WR Wes Welker proved his knee was ready to go, catching eight balls for 64 yards and two TD’s. The defense and special teams even go into the act with Gary Guyton’s 59 yard interception return and Brandon Tate’s 97 yard kickoff return that both resulted in scores.

New York’s defense held up but its offense was downright ugly in Monday night’s loss. QB Mark Sanchez completed 10 passes for 74 yards and their vaunted running game only managed 116 yards. This week will be a true test to see if outspoken head coach Rex Ryan can actually back up all the talk with some better results on the field.

Much like Baltimore, New England smells an opportunity to establish themselves as the team to beat in their division. Bill Belichick and Co. rarely let a chance like this go by and this week should be no exception.
