After a week dominated with talk about Antonio Brown, the New England Patriots are back to playing actual football today: the team — now with Brown no longer a part of it — will host the New York Jets today for its second straight meeting with an AFC East rival. The Patriots, of course, are heavy favorites entering the contest against the 0-2 Jets with a perfect 2-0 record and a scoring differential of +73.

FanPulse
The two teams’ fan bases feel quite differently about their teams heading into today’s game as our latest FanPulse survey — please click here if you also want to take part in the future — shows: while 98% of New England’s followers are confident in the direction of the franchise, only 15% of New York’s polled fan base feels the same way about its team. The 83% difference between the two clubs is tied for the biggest among the NFL’s matchups this week.
The reasons for that difference are quickly found: while the Patriots won their first two games of the regular season with a combined score of 76-3, the Jets have lost both contests and their starting quarterback (Sam Darnold; mononucleosis) as well as his backup (Trevor Siemian; ankle). As a result, the Patriots enter the game as three-touchdown favorites against the Luke Falk-led team.
While Patriots fans’ 98% ties them for most in the league with the Kansas City Chiefs, only three fan bases are less confident than the Jets’.
