The New England Patriots will host the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 11, looking to continue their seven-game winning streak. New England enters as a 13-point favorite with a total of 43.5 points, according to betting lines. The Jets, coming off back-to-back wins, face a tough matchup against the surging Patriots.
The AFC East rivalry renews on Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET, with the Patriots (seven-game win streak) hosting the Jets (two-game win streak). New England's offense, led by quarterback Drake Maye, ranks eighth in the NFL in points per game at 26.5. The Patriots have scored at least 23 points in every game during their streak and have gone over the total in three straight as home favorites.
The Jets have struggled offensively but managed at least 21 points in six of their nine games this season. Under quarterback Justin Fields, New York has hit the over in five straight as road underdogs and 12 of their last 16 overall. However, experts note the Jets' reliance on the run game could be problematic against New England's run defense.
SportsLine's model, which simulates games 10,000 times, projects the over 43.5 to hit in over 70% of simulations, with the Patriots scoring 33 points. NFL expert Emory Hunt backs New England to cover the 13-point spread, stating, 'Unless they find a way to balance out the offense and not rely solely on their run game to bail them out, this team will struggle to find points against anyone they face.' Will Brinson added, 'It's just a horrible matchup for the Jets... New England should get a lead early and feed their running backs, forcing Justin Fields to drop back a ton.'
