Week 16: Patriots open up as HUGE favorites over the Jets

The Patriots are expected to win on Christmas Eve in a landslide.

The New England Patriots and New York Jets are heading in opposite directions. The Patriots are going to another playoff party, while the Jets have long since turned focus towards the draft and a possible top 5 pick.

So when the Jets come to Gillette Stadium on Christmas Eve, the Patriots a huge 14-point favorites, according to BookMaker.eu. The Patriots are 20-0 straight up when they’re favored by two or more touchdowns, but they are just 4-11 against the spread in their most recent 15 games.

The Jets always find a way to play the Patriots to the final whistle and you can be certain that Bill Belichick will be holding back as many wrinkles as possible for the playoffs.
