00:03 Blue, a game we haven't hit on just yet, where a long trend is at play as well.

00:08 It's the New York Jets and the New England Patriots.

00:11 In MetLife, the Jets a slight home underdog against New England.

00:16 Less than a field goal with the lowest over under of the weekend, just 36.5.

00:22 Blue, the New England Patriots have beaten the New York Jets 14

00:27 consecutive times, do the Pats make it 15 straight to pick up their first victory

00:33 of 2023?

00:33 >> I believe they do, they're going in need,

00:37 the Jets path to this is making it really uncomfortable for Mac Jones.

00:41 Which they can do, I don't love the Patriots offensive line and

00:44 Mac has shown a propensity to turn the ball over in the past.

00:48 But my deciding factor in this game is Bill Belichick against Zach Wilson.

00:53 I think Zach Wilson's gonna have another rough game.

00:55 I don't really see him pulling himself out of this tailspin.

00:59 They're gonna need to rely heavily on the run and

01:01 I think Belichick is just going to dare Zach to throw it.

01:05 Now they do have a dynamic playmaker in Garrett Wilson.

01:09 Does Belichick really feel like that's the number one target?

01:13 He famously takes away the number one target of your team and

01:17 tries to make you play with one hand behind your back.

01:20 Unfortunately right now, as talented as he is, it is not the Jets number one weapon.

01:24 The Jets number one weapon is trying to get Brees Hall and the running game in total

01:29 to move the ball down the field and keep the ball out of Mac Jones' hands.

01:33 So I can't bet with the Jets this week.

01:36 I know it's a divisional home dog and that's typically a profitable place to bet.

01:41 But this is Belichick against Zach Wilson for me, I don't feel good about it.

01:44 >> Mike, let me ask you a question about the New York Jets here in the future of

01:48 the season.

01:48 We know Aaron Rodgers probably coming back next year.

01:51 But let's be honest with ourselves.

01:52 Zach Wilson goes out and throws another clunker this weekend.

01:55 Does he even get another start for the New York Jets?

01:58 >> Yes, he'll get another start.

02:01 I think they're going to be somewhat stubborn about it and

02:04 try to pull him through this.

02:06 He did get the win, obviously, in week one.

02:09 It's a bad performance in Dallas, but

02:11 frankly, that would be a tough place for anybody to play.

02:15 I think it is indicative of what we're going to see.

02:19 But I think the Jets will give him a couple of more games before they

02:22 go to a plan B, but it's not looking good right now.

02:25 It's a lot of the same nervous feet and mistakes that we saw in years past

02:30 has reared its head already in the first two games.
