New England at NY Jets
Time: 1:00 PM (ET) | Sunday
Network: CBS
One week after the New England Patriots gave the New Orleans Saints their first loss of the season, and the New York Jets giving the Pittsburgh Steelers their first victory; we have a major AFC East rivalry match-up. The Patriots are coming in today’s game with major injuries in the likes of Aqib Talib, Tommy Kelly, Leon Washington, Danny Amendola, Shane Vereen and Jerod Mayo. One player that will be returning to the team will be star tight end Rob Gronkowski (who’s been out of action the entire year). We’re not surprised he picked a game against the Jets to return to the field today, but with so many injuries for the team this week, he may have second thoughts when the clock hits 0:00.
We never pick against Tom Brady losing back to back games ever, but today we’re going to have to side with the New York Jets. The Jets running game should have their way today with the Patriots defense being in shambles. With Geno Smith still learning how to be a starting quarterback on the go, he’ll be looking to impress all today with a victory over Tom Brady.
UPDATE: NY Jets upset Patriots with 30-27 Victory!
