New England Patriots QB Tom Brady will be going after revenge from last year's playoff loss to the New York Jets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York has faced New England more than any other team and has won two of the last three meetings, including a 28-21 win as 9.5-point road underdogs in last year\u2019s playoff meeting.\u00a0 The Jets come into this division rivalry losers of two games in a row, which is starting to test the locker room.\u00a0 \u201cNo, I think our player policy is to try and keep things in-house,\u201d commented quarterback Mark Sanchez about sniping within the locker room.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve talked about, and those individual improvements and stuff, that happens on a personal level.\u201d\u00a0 The third-year quarterback hasn\u2019t gotten much protection recently, but All-Pro center Nick Mangold is expected to be back after missing two games with a high ankle sprain.\u00a0 New York is 0-2 ATS on the road this season and 13-10 ATS in that situation the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Jets defense is doing as good as they can without the offense providing much help, liming opponents to just a 26 percent conversion rate on third down.\u00a0 New York head coach Rex Ryan has normally been very good on the road, coming into this game with consecutive losses against Oakland and Baltimore, but is still 15-9 (including the postseason) away from New Jersey.<\/p>\n

New England is 7-4 against the New York Jets all-time at Gillette Stadium and 22-14 against them since owner Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994.\u00a0 The Patriots are 3-1 on the season and bring in the NFL\u2019s No. 1 offense, averaging 507.5 yards per game, including 384.8 passing yards.\u00a0 The team also has a plus-four turnover differential, which is better than New York\u2019s flat performance in that category.\u00a0 New England is 10-8 ATS at home and the \u2018over\u2019 is 13-5 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Patriots have won 18 straight regular season home games and have a 61-12 overall record in such games at Gillette Stadium.\u00a0 Quarterback Tom Brady has been nothing short of spectacular this year, while also throwing for at least two or more touchdowns in 13 straight games.\u00a0 Brady\u2019s 1,553 passing yards through the first four games of the season is the second-best mark in the history of the league, trailing only Kurt Warner\u2019s 1,557.\u00a0 Offensively, the team felt it was important to start establishing a run game last week, producing 183 yards on the ground by averaging 6.1 yards a carry.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Jets due to their 6-2 ATS mark versus divisional opponents, while the home team is 7-18-1 ATS in this series.<\/p>\n
