New York Jets v New England Patriots: Prediction, Tips and Odds

The New York Jets finally beat the New England Patriots last season and they will expect to pick up another win when they play their first game at home against their AFC East rivals.

New England had won 15 successive games against the Jets before they were beaten 17-3 by Robert Saleh's team in January, although the Patriots have won the last eight meetings between the two teams at the MetLife Stadium.

Both teams are 1-1 through the first two weeks of the campaign and this matchup in the early hours of Friday promises to be a bruising encounter.

New York Jets v New England Patriots prop bets - tips and predictions

Braelon Allen Over 34.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards - 20/23

Braelon Allen - the youngest player in the NFL - has already proven that age is just a number after his first two weeks in the league.

Allen was selected by the Jets in the fourth round, and he has proven he could be a real weapon as a complimentary running back to Breece Hall.

While Hall is elusive, Allen is a battering ram in the backfield, and he has already rushed for 41 yards while he has picked up 32 receiving yards from three receptions.

Allen scored two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans last week to help the Jets record a 24-17 success, and he should be busy once again.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has yet to find his rhythm, but having two receiving backs allows him to make simple checkdowns, and Allen should prosper as a result.

Hunter Henry Over 33.5 receiving yards - 5/6

The Patriots have scored 36 points in two games with their rushing attack having been their main strength so far.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has thrown for 270 yards, but he only has one touchdown to his name.

The Jets have one of the best secondaries in the NFL, so Brissett may need to keep things simple and look for tight end Henry for the second week running.

Henry recorded 109 receiving yards last week during the 23-20 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, and he may be able to find more space as Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley is a doubt due to a toe injury.

New York Jets v New England Patriots money line, spread, over/under

	Money Line	Spread	Over/Under
Jets	4/11	-6 - 20/23	Over 38.5 - 10/11
Patriots	9/4	+6 - 20/21	Under 38.5 - 10/11

Over/Under pick - Under 38.5 points - 10/11

The Jets have yet to see the best from Rodgers, but that is no surprise considering he is still finding his feet after recovering from a torn Achilles, which he suffered last season.

Rodgers has delivered the goods when it has mattered, but he is playing as a game manager at present rather than leading the attack on his own.

Wide receiver Garrett Wilson is always covered due to the threat he possesses, while Mike Williams has yet to be given the go-ahead to play every play as he recovers from an ACL injury.

The Jets offence has potential, but after another short week, they will just be happy to grind out a tough win.

New England's offence is likely to struggle for most of the season, and the Jets have a defence that can punish them for any mistakes.

While fans want every primetime game to be exciting, this should be a battle and a low-scoring affair looks to be on the cards, with the last three meetings between the pair having contained 25 points or fewer.
