Patriots Host Jets on Thursday Night as Drake Maye's MVP Bid Takes Center Stage

Projection models frame the Prime Video game as a seeding barometer for New England against a short-handed New York.

Overview

  • New England enters at 8-2 on a seven-game win streak, with Drake Maye tied atop MVP odds and rookies producing multiple 50-plus-yard touchdowns last week.
  • Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium, streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, with sportsbooks pricing the Patriots around -12.5.
  • CBS SportsLine projects New England with a slight edge for the AFC’s No. 1 seed and one of the easiest remaining schedules, and a loss tonight would drop its division odds from roughly 81% to 59%.
  • The Jets are 2-7 after consecutive wins following an 0-7 start, with Garrett Wilson reportedly out multiple weeks due to a knee injury and the staff withholding clarity at quarterback.
  • Following trades of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, New York has leaned on special teams, including kick and punt return touchdowns on back-to-back possessions in Week 10.
