Week 11: Patriots vs. Jets
Patriots are back and the Jets are the Jets
This is the Pats' first prime-time game at Gillette in two years. I expect the home crowd to be loud and proud. Vrabel has turned around this franchise in only half of a season. The scary thing is this team still has a lot to improve. The run defense is elite (allowing ~79 yards a game) and face the only player on the Jets offense that you have to game plan for. Drake is playing out of his mind, and even when he does make a mistake, he's a goldfish. He forgets the mistake and moves forward.
We're on a 7-game winning streak, so at this point, every game is a "trap game," but I'm pretty confident that this will be an absolute barn-burning blowout win for the Pats.
Thoughts from the board
Ricomandog
Drake Maye has taken the golden horseshoe from Mahomes and has gotten lucky that his mistakes have not cost them the game...yet. This is the game that he has too many costly turnovers with 2 fumbles and 3 INTs. C'mon Jets, don't let me down! If you win, my grandma promised she'd make out with me!
Jets win 27-10
Bold Prediction: Everyone, even Jet fans, pick the Patriots to win but this is the upset the whole country has been waiting.
DNOM
The Jets are very, very beatable, but the Pats still need to execute. OL will have a tricky task with Johnson & McDonald off the edge, but the Pats secondary has a massive edge against Fields. Run D needs to pick back up after a weaker game against Tampa. The Pats' fate as always, though, is in the hands of Drake Maye, and with Henderson & Williams showing up last week, the offense is far more explosive and far less predictable.
Patriots win 33-9
Bold Prediction: Cory Durden forces a Breece Hall fumble which Milton Williams runs back for a TD

This is a division game on a short week. There won't be much practicing before the game. It will be a game of "let's just do what we do" against a team that is pretty close to tank mode. They'll fight hard, but the Pats are just too much for them and by the 4th Quarter Josh Dobbs is playing mop up duty.
Patriots win 40-13
Bold Prediction: Josh Dobbs has the 2nd best QB stats of the game
MAC
TNF games are unpredictable. The Jests have won 2 in a row so there is a flicker of fight in them. Fields beat the Pats 3 years ago as a Bear. But he's been Horrible this year and the backup ain't any better. Contain Hall and this should be a W. The Pats will have to shoot themselves in both feet, an arm, and a shoulder to give NY a chance.
Patriots win 34-14
Bold Prediction: Pats score on a pick 6.
Oscar
Why are the Patriots screwing around with their unis on a short week before a division game? They're messing with the mojo they've built up on this seven-game run. Save the uni change for the Giants game. NYJ takes advantage of the blown karma to hold Maye to < 50% completion, no TDs, and a pick. Adding insult upon insult, Borregales misses the tying PAT with four minutes left in the game. Damn Nor'easter uniforms..
Jets win 17-16
Bold Prediction: YOU get a red zone turnover, YOU get a red zone turnover, YOU get a redzone turnover....EVERYBODY gets a red zone turnover!!!

It's been a weird year around the league with upsets... but i just cant see the jets keeping up, especially when they got rid of their best defenders at the trade deadline. I'm giving them 17 to be generous but I could honestly see this being a shutout.
Patriots win 35-17
Bold Prediction: another 2 tds from treveyon as well as a defensive score
Mr. Roger Badell
J-E-S-T-S offense get Z-E-R-O going, all game while Drake and the boys torch their D..MVP chants will be heard all the way down to Met Life stadium. Fields leaves game early and doesn't return after a vicious (but clean) Spillane sack. Vrable does the sideline sprint as Kyle Williams takes another catch 50+ yards for a TD.
Patriots win 43-3
Bold Prediction: Some day, I'll be able to comment without dicksux requesting verification. For now, the latest 'fix' is again broken. I'm so sick of dicksux, I guess I'll restrict my participation to the prediction page, from here on out. ) ;

Game is ugly for the first 1.5 quarters on both sides of the ball but the offense and defense clean things up late in the 2nd quarters and then make it a blow out after the half
Patriots win 30-13
Bold Prediction: Chism plays during garbage time and gets a TD

Anything can happen on a Thursday night. Pats have to keep Fields out of a rhythm, although he seems to do that to himself quite well. Still, he has torn the Patriots apart in the past, and Breece Hall is dynamic. But I don't think the Jets have the horses to keep up. Stay disciplined and just get out of there with a win so you can get some much-needed extra time off.
Patriots win 27-17
Bold Prediction: Steph Diggs passing TD
Hugo
The Jets are in disarray after the deadline, and the Patriots deal out an absolute curb-stomping. The running game has a big day behind a surprising Terrell Jennings doing work on early downs and the Jets just give up.
Patriots win 37-13
Bold Prediction: The Patriots get a pick-six from Carlton Davis
Mr Abalone
As long as the Patriots players aren't shellfish, they otter beat the Jets pretty easily. Pats are steamrolling the competition and the world is their oyster. SBOGTFO!
Patriots win 31-10
Bold Prediction: Team squirts champagne after the victory.

Slow start. Maybe a turnover or two. Maye settles down later and gets 2 TD's
Patriots win 24-10
Bold Prediction: Campbell with his best game of the year
Dino
The Jests are on a roll ...which explains the butter on their pants. Their offense is moribund, but they will play with passion. They will have a couple of new WRs in action with Garrett Wilson hors de combat. The weather will make the Drake struggle, but the Pats will get the job done.
Patriots win 24-20
Bold Prediction: Mack Hollins will score two TDs ...I hope!
