The New England Patriots will be aiming to sweep the New York Jets in the season series Sunday night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New England is aiming to sweep the season series with the New York Jets and put an end to a two-game losing streak.\u00a0 The Patriots are coming off back-to-back losses for just the third time since the beginning of the 2003 campaign, dropping a 24-20 decision to the New York Giants as nine-point home favorites last week.\u00a0 \u201cI think everybody can do a better job,\u201d commented Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.\u00a0 \u201cThere\u2019s room for improvement for all of us.\u201d\u00a0 Not many fans of the franchise are anticipating a third-straight loss, as it hasn\u2019t happened since 2002.\u00a0 New England is 5-1 ATS as an underdog the last two-plus seasons and the \u2018over\u2019 is 4-2 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Patriots are currently involved in a three-way tie atop the AFC East divisional standings with the Jets and Buffalo Bills, already handing Sunday\u2019s opponent a 30-21 loss as 7.5-point home favorites in the first meeting on Oct. 9.\u00a0 New England has absolutely dominated games within the division, tallying a 50-15 record since the start of the 2001 season, which is the best intra-division record of any NFL team.\u00a0 Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is 14-4 versus the Jets when playing as a starter.<\/p>\n

New York comes in with plenty of confidence in winning three consecutive games and knowing that third-year quarterback Mark Sanchez is 2-0 at home in this rivalry, registering a 114.5 passer rating.\u00a0 He has enjoyed a great run since facing the Patriots, leading the team to a 3-1 record, while throwing for 770 yards and seven touchdowns with just two interceptions.\u00a0 Offensively, the team ranks second in the NFL in scoring touchdowns inside the red zone, doing so 64 percent of the time.\u00a0 New York is 8-3 ATS when revenging a loss against a divisional opponent.<\/p>\n

The Jets defense is the key to this particular game in facing Brady, ranking second in the league with 19 takeaways, which includes 13 interceptions.\u00a0 New York did allow 446 total yards in the first matchup this year, but the stop unit has limited opposing signal-callers to a 59.4 passer rating this year.\u00a0 Overall, head coach Rex Ryan has seen his defense limit teams to just 319 yards per game, while allowing 20.4 points a contest.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Patriots due to their 6-2 ATS record on the road, while the Jets are 2-5 ATS as a favorite of three points or less.<\/p>\n
