Thursday night sees us get two straight AFC East games as Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season kicks off with the New England Patriots visiting the New York Jets.

At the start of the campaign, it looked like this game would be a blowout on paper. However, the Patriots surprised people with a win over the Bengals in the season opener and by taking the Seahawks to overtime last week. Meanwhile, the Jets were crushed by the 49ers in Week 1 and squeaked out a seven-point win over the Titans last Sunday.

So it could very well be an interesting match.

This is the place to discuss the game with other Las Vegas Raiders fans and any betting tips you may have, as the lines below are provided by FanDuel Sportsbook.

Patriots vs. Jets

• Spread: NYJ -6.5
• Over/Under: 38.5
• NYJ-ML: -260
• NO ML: +215

Holder’s Picks: NJY -6.5, Under 38.5, NYJ ML

While all of the above is true, New England has a bad offensive line and has already ruled out two starters up front, while two more are injured. That’s a disastrous combination against New York’s defensive line, which is another reason I’m taking the under. I think this is a “get right” game for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets as a whole.

On the injury report, the Patriots have ruled out linebacker Ja’Whaun Bently (shoulder), offensive tackle Vederian Lowe (knee), guard Sidy Sow (ankle) and linebacker Oshane Ximines (no injury specified). Center David Andrews (hip), offensive tackle Mike Onwenu (wrist), safety Jabrill Peppers (shoulder) and defensive end Deatrich Wise (shoulder) are questionable. Meanwhile, outside linebacker Jermaine Johnson II (Achilles) is out and linebacker C.J. Mosley (toe) is questionable for the Jets.
