The Jets were at home last week and had it not been for a stupid personal foul penalty on the second last play of the game, New York would be 0-1 after a 17-15 loss to the Buccaneers.The start of the Geno Smith era went pretty well even if it did not have a lot to do with him. Facing one of the worst defenses from last year who were on the road would be a prescription for "as good as it gets" but pretty it was not. Kellen Winslow hung on to make the roster and then led the Jets with seven catches for 79 yards.
The Jets are getting way too much credit here for one lousy win in a game they deserved to lose. Had this game been scheduled for Week 1, the Patriots would've been a 16-point favorite. We now get the benefit of a weaker line because of Week 1 results and the Pats injuries at WR and TE but they still have a great QB and great coach and I like them to roll tonight.
The Patriots should have little trouble holding Geno Smith in check and they'll confuse him.
I just cant see the Jets scoring more than 14 points tonight.
