Question Patriots -3.5 @ Jets

Wanted some peoples opinions on what I feel is the most entertaining and intriguing matchup of the week; besides maybe new orleans/philly.

I saw this line at -6.5 before Pats monday game against buffalo. once pats started getting manhandled i knew we would never see the line close to 7 again.

So it opens back up at -3.5 to -4. I still think it is wrong team favored. Pats are like the Yankees/Lakers, people will continue to back them on name alone.

I think the AFC East is wide open this year and all the teams are close to equal in talent imo.

I see it as wrong team favored. I guess they still feel they needed to makes Pats a fav, but I think PK would of been a more fair line.

I will be on the home team getting points and possible ML, just a matter of how big. Obviously I am biased but I usually pick my spots well with the Jets. I was on them small last week but think I like them more this week.

nope.

but i would think Bookmakers/vegas wouldn't mind a little more action on the pats side.

the line was the same in New England last year and it came down to -3 actually at game time. that was without brady though, but still in new england.

i would feel good if this line did the same and came down to 3 by game time.

jets win, f the points

i think the line is pretty close to spot on, i figured it'd be between 3 and 4

but i actually lean to the patriots here - and Jets are my 2nd fav team

ty and gl.

still got 6 some odd days to decide. could be anything from big play on jets to a small inclusion in a teaser.

pats could win sure, but a blowout is extremely unlikely

what worries me in this game is rookie qb and possible overconfidence after cruising to easy win in week 1

need to limit the mistakes and turnovers. sanchez did get away with a couple in houston.

im sure there are other keys to game as well that will be brought up

I see +4 and I actually have seen +5 out there still...line should look more like NYJ +2.5-3 IMO by sunday....if the line doesn't drop below +4, I think it looks too easy to take the J-E-T-S and the PATS probably are the play

wow line opened at -6.5????? Cowboys line did the opposite last week it shot up from 3.5 to 6.5 and on Sunday started coming down. If pats go back to like -5 or -6 I'm def on Jets.
