Prediction
Despite the Patriots’ recent struggles, they have historically dominated the Jets, especially at MetLife Stadium. The Jets are hoping their home-field advantage will tilt the scales in their favor, but the Patriots’ strong ground game could pose problems. According to recent betting trends, the Jets are expected to come out on top, with a predicted final score of 24-13.
