Patriots Jets Odds for NFL Week 10 - 11-10-11

November 10 - Although the New England Patriots and their rivals the New York Jets are currently tied at the top of the AFC East division on 5-3 (alongside the Buffalo Bills), they have both had their fair share of ups and downs this season.

For instance, about a month ago the Jets suffered three straight defeats, but have since bounced back. The Patriots, meanwhile, are coming off two straight losses, and risk a third against the Jets on Sunday at New Meadowlands in New Jersey.

No doubt this is one of the reasons why NFL oddsmakers, including those at premier internet sports betting site betonline, have laid the New York Jets as the -2 point favorites (O/U 37) ahead of this weekend's NFL matchup.

New England Patriots Are Facing a Slump

The fact the Patriot's offense is ranked second in the league with 437.3 yards per game has not prevented them from slumping of late. In fact, they've failed to rack up more than 20 points in any of their last three games. Plus, they went down hard 24-20 to the Giants last week at home, and the week before only made 213 yards against the Steelers.

The point is that the Patriots are not playing up to their usually high standard, and must obviously change that on Sunday, before their slump really takes hold. Consider that New England haven't had a season when they didn't win at least 10 games since 2002, and they will be eager not to repeat that this season.

Although they are not be firing on all cylinders, the Patriots have all the components of a Super Bowl-winning team, they just need to pull them all together. For instance, QB Tom Brady needs to increase his focus as he is throwing far too many interceptions this season, and the team's defense needs to tighten up, especially against the Jets on Sunday.

New York Jets Are Comeback Kids

Everyone in America loves a 'comeback kid,' and right now that kid is the New York Jets, after they recovered from a three-game losing streak last month. At the time of the slump, many Jets fans saw the team's playoff hopes go up in smoke, but Jets head coach Rex Ryan had other ideas.

Although the Jets allowed more than 30 points combined in those three losses, Ryan kicked the team back into shape, and they have been on fire since. Some of the credit for the Jets turnaround has to go to RB Shonn Greene and co, who are now averaging a none-too-shabby 130.7 yards on the ground, compared to just 76.2 during their losing streak.

With both sides of the Jets' game in pretty good shape, they'll likely be tough opponents on Sunday, and the Patriots will have to step it up some if they want to prevent racking up their first three-game losing streak in almost a decade.

Patriots Jets Prediction

Sunday's Patriots Jets matchup will be tough any way you cut it. Despite their two recent losses, the Patriots are not a team to rollover, while the Jets will be do anything to protect and maintain their winning streak. Which is why we predict the home team will keep the visitors at bay come Sunday.
