Pats are currently favored by 1.5, which seems absurdly low. I understand the preseason hype of the Jets affected their initial valuation, but coming off that impressive Pats' win and abysmal Jets' loss, you'd expect at least a 3 point line. Seems that Vegas wants Pats' money to come in. Hmmm. Actually, maybe the Jets' fools are still out there. That must be it.
Two other things while I'm at it:
I expect multiple picks from Sanchez this week. Why? He's getting a ton of flak about instantly going to his checkdown receiver. Being called "scared" is a sure fire way to make an insecure guy start slinging it to show he's NOT scared. Wouldn't be surprised if the Jets' first play is the deep ball.
Second, I was thinking about the Pats & Jets offensive & defensive units, and how you'd rate them. Obviously, after one week the Jets' offense is the weakest of the four, by far. Beyond that, how do they rate? I'd say 1) Pats' offense 2) Jets' defense 3) Pats' defense 4) Jets' offense. Actually, I guess it's hard to make an argument for any other order.
