NFL Player Odds and Props
Garrett Wilson Over 6.5 receptions
Garrett Wilson caught seven passes for 104 yards and a touchdown against Cleveland. He leads New York with 31 receptions through five games and should remain Geno Smith’s primary target, particularly if the Jets are forced to play from behind.
Geno Smith Over 221.5 passing yards
Smith has thrown for 1,084 yards and six touchdowns through five games. New York could need to rely more heavily on its passing attack against a surging Patriots offence.
Drake Maye Over 233.5 passing yards
Drake Maye threw for 374 yards and four touchdowns against Las Vegas after passing for 269 yards in the victory over Buffalo. He has averaged 321.5 passing yards over those two games, comfortably above this number.
Rhamondre Stevenson Over 70.5 rushing yards
Rhamondre Stevenson should receive additional carries after TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain against Las Vegas. Henderson is expected to miss several weeks, leaving Stevenson as New England’s primary rushing option.
New York Jets
New York’s defence delivered its best performance of the season against Cleveland.
Rookie David Bailey recorded three sacks, while Will McDonald IV forced a decisive fumble in the final minute. Smith threw for 182 yards and a touchdown, but the Jets struggled to sustain drives.
New York must establish Allen early to keep Maye and New England’s improving offence off the field. The Patriots have won three straight meetings with the Jets, including both games last season.
New England Patriots
New England enters Sunday with considerable momentum after defeating Buffalo and Las Vegas.
Maye has accumulated 643 passing yards, seven touchdown passes and a rushing score over those two victories. However, injuries could complicate the Patriots’ preparations.
Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks with a high ankle sprain, while starting left tackle Will Campbell is considered week-to-week with a knee injury.
Rookie Caleb Lomu could replace Campbell against a Jets defence coming off an eight-sack performance.
New England must also monitor its secondary, with cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III dealing with injuries. New England’s offensive line will need to protect Maye against New York’s aggressive pass rush.
