It’s always quite a battle anytime the New York Jets and New England Patriots get together. Given some of the circumstances surrounding both teams, particularly when it comes to playoff odds, Sunday’s latest chapter between the two could be one of the biggest meetings, especially for the Jets.
At 5-2, the Jets, despite all of their injuries, could still make a push for the playoffs. If they can defeat the Patriots on Sunday, they would move to 6-2 and that’s usually a strong record to eventually get to the playoffs. In fact, their chances at the playoffs, per Football Outsiders, get very strong if they can win, and would also crush the Patriots’ hopes at the same time.
