Tonight’s matchup between the New York Jets and New England Patriots is sure to draw heavy amounts of money in the sportsbooks tonight. The common question with this game is figuring out which team is what right now. The Jets seem to be in total disarray but seemed to fight hard in a valiant home loss to the Broncos a week ago. Buyers of the Broncos barely escaped with a cover.

Geno Smith performed decent in that game and the Jets defense held up fairly well against the Broncos high flying passing attack.

New England on the other hand is coming of two dominating wins, garnering bandwagon media attention. Just two weeks ago the media and fans were ready to write the ending of Tom Brady’s career.

Centering around this match up, you have to factor in two measurables before placing a bet. One is the distinct fact that the Jets are ready to unravel completely before Mike Vick is inserted at quarterback. And on the Patriots side of things, you have to wonder if a down to Earth game is upon them.

It was not very long ago that they struggled to win at home versus the Oakland Raiders. This was before the Raiders fired Dennis Allen after a beat down in London to the Miami Dolphins.

This play is not a part of my premium play package but I do side with the underdog for value purposed sports betting tonight. New faces have sprung up in the Patriots offense over the last few weeks. Expect the Jets to game plan to shut the Patriots new wrinkles down defensively. The impact of not having a mid-tier running back with Stevan Ridley out is also a big factor. I’m not a believe in James White or Bolden. Shane Vereen is more of your scat back and not ball carrier.

Side with the Jets if you must get a wager in.
