The final game of the weekend matches two teams that spilt during the regular season, each winning on their home field. The Patriots mauled the Jets when they played in Foxboro in November. They did so with Tom Brady picking apart the inside of the Jets defense. The Jets will adjust, but I don't think they rush the passer well enough to slow Brady. He will have time to find open receivers. That will put a lot of pressure on Mark Sanchez on the other side. He is more of a game manager than a guy who can go throw-for-throw with Brady. That's why running the ball is so important for the Jets. It will keep the pressure off Sanchez, but it will also keep the ball away from Brady. The Patriots was 16th in yards per rushing play, which has to give the Jets hope they can run it. But if this is an ambush like the last game, that strategy is dead. Brady is on a roll this season, and I can't see it stopping here. New England wins big again.
Patriots 30, Jets 17
