00:00All right, the Jets are minus six and a half here for this home opener, a Thursday night

00:08game.

00:09The total is now 38 and a half for this one.

00:13I think me and you have been on the same page with this all week.

00:17We like what we've seen from the Patriots so far in terms of they're going to try to

00:21control this game a little bit and be able to stick around within that six and a half

00:26points.

00:28It is rather meaty, isn't it?

00:30Meat on the bone, the New York on the bone steak.

00:34I think, look, the only way they cover is if they don't turn the ball over and they

00:39play smash mouth defense and capitalize on any mistakes that the Jets might make.

00:44A hit and a fumble, a pick, a tip and a pick.

00:48They got to take advantage of the Jets' mistakes because I don't think Rogers makes a lot of

00:53them, right?

00:54So I could easily see Rogers beating them by seven.

00:59And what I want to happen is the Patriots to cover the six and a hook.

01:05That's what I want to happen.

01:07But I'm not sure it's going to happen because let's face facts.

01:11Aaron Rodgers against Jacoby Brissett, I mean, you got to be kidding me.

01:15This is like on paper.

01:17Just the thought of it is 10 points to me.

01:20Just the thought of it is the Jets by 10.

01:25There's one thing that worries me about this game from the Patriot perspective.

01:30They haven't had a situation yet this year where they're down multiple scores, right?

01:36They played from ahead in Cincinnati.

01:38They held the ball the whole time.

01:39They controlled the clock.

01:41The Seahawks game was back and forth.

01:43Nobody was ever up by more than a score.

01:45They could still play their game.

01:47I'm worried that if they get down 10, 14 points early in this game and they have to try to

01:53change the way that they've played over the first few weeks and suddenly, like you said,

01:59then Jacoby Brissett becomes a thrower of the football.

02:03And that's probably not something that you want.

02:05So that's the scenario, Scotty, that makes me a little nervous when it comes for the

02:09Patriots.

02:10You're probably right.

02:11I don't think that's good.

02:12That's not going to be a fun situation for them.

02:14They need to control this game and keep it low scoring.
