The undefeated Patriots are set to make their first Monday night appearance of the season and their third primetime appearance overall. So far, only one team (the 5-1 Bills) has come within one score of beating New England. That includes a 30-14 win over the Jets in Week 3 that wasn\u2019t even that close. Things might be a little different this time, though. For starters, the Patriots will be without Josh Gordon, who has a knee injury. They also won\u2019t have Michael Bennett, who is serving a suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More importantly, the Jets will have Sam Darnold this time. The aforementioned loss came in former Jet Luke Falk\u2019s first career start. Yes, though the game was just under a month ago, Falk is now a free agent. Darnold\u2019s return should free things up for the entire offense. Still, a New York win would likely be considered the biggest upset of the season so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want a little money on the line, here are a few of our favorite props to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Patriots had no trouble moving the ball on the Jets in their first meeting, scoring touchdowns on each of their first three drives. Darnold\u2019s return will certainly help the Jets overall, but it won\u2019t help their defense stop Tom Brady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bell has never beaten the Patriots, but he has had several impressive stat lines. In three regular season meetings with New England as a Steeler, Bell averaged 151 yards from scrimmage. The Patriots have one of the top run defenses in the league, so we\u2019ll say the Jets try to get Bell involved through the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, we\u2019ll also say he gets more rushing yards than Michel. No one can ever predict how the Patriots might deploy their running backs. Though Michel is hot right now, he had season lows in attempts (9) and yards (11) when he faced the Jets the first time. Bell may not have to have a good game to rush for more yards than Michel. Not only that, but we get underdog odds. Give us Bell\u2019s talents over the ever-changing New England backfield any day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bolden has now scored in three straight games. The hot streak is going to come to an end at some point, but at +250 it\u2019s worth betting on Bolden getting another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since Josh Gordon is out, someone is going to have to take the number-two position opposite Julian Edelman. It could be Phillip Dorsett, who is questionable after missing New England\u2019s last two games. We\u2019ll go with Meyers. Meyers picked up 38 yards against the Jets when the receiving corps was healthy and totaled 54 last week when Gordon left in the first half. Gordon had 83 yards in the first meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
