Uncategorized Comments Off

NFL Preview: New England Patriots at New York Jets

Previews Comments Off

This is another exciting game for the New England Patriots as they come face to face with the New York Jets who’ll be playing again in their home field after being beaten by the Ravens last September 13. The two will set foot to play on September 19. The Patriots have been victorious in their last football play with the Cincinnati Bengals making 12 more touch downs.

In the post game interview with Randy Moss, he explicitly uttered his complains about his feeling of not being appreciated. The rest of the team supported Moss. Moss is in its final year of the three-year 27-million contract with the New England Patriots. He is not expecting a return to the team after the contract ends. Can his absent on the next season affects the performance of the tam and will his resentment about being unappreciated affects their next game with the  New York Jets?

Meanwhile, Fred Taylor has been the top rusher in their previous game with the Bengals who covered 71 yds. Can he be able to also outsmart Jets’ LaDainian Tomlinson who was also the top rusher in the Jets’ football game against the Ravens last September 13 covering 62 yds?

The Patriots expects better performance to cover the spread and totals on them. Wes Welker and Tom Brady are expected to perform the same play as they were hailed the heroes of the game last Monday by leading the Patriots to win over the Bengals. Can they still do the same before the Jets? The Patriots are set as the favorite in a lot of betting lines, making the Jets the underdog.
