Football betting on the New York Jets is a lot more interesting this season with Brett Favre leading the offense. What looked like a sure New England win before the season started is not the case anymore in this NFL betting matchup. The Patriots are favored but the Jets should get support as a home underdog in football.
Football stats show that this game could be high scoring with the Patriots scoring at will and Favre throwing all over the field for the Jets. The Patriots had the best offense in the history of the NFL a year ago and a defense that was 4th in the league according to football numbers. Both of those numbers are likely to slip this season according to NFL betting experts. New England lost Asante Samuel in the off-season and their defense is going to suffer. Football betting experts believe that with Brady and Moss on offense the Patriots will still put up a lot of points this season but they are unlikely to match last year’s output. They also face a New York Jets defense that was 9th in the league last year against the pass according to NFL stats.
