Pats favored by 9.5 over Jets... how can this be?

Quick, grab those points before they change their minds.

This is so tempting. Can be a win win situation for a Pats fan here. Bet heavy on the jets.
In this case, you can enjoy a bit regardless of the results.

If the Pats lose, winning some money won't console me, hahaha. I'm staying far away from this game, but if I was going to take it I would lay the points and take the Pats at -9.

Pats have opened as 9.5 point favorites at-home against the Jets next Sunday. This has to be one of the most surprising point spreads I have seen; this is basically the same spread as the playoff game last year. I would have thought this spread would be around 4-6 before Mayo went down, and likely 2.5-3.5 after.

The Jets have beaten us 3 out of the last 5, including at Foxboro last year, and they are certainly the more desperate team here. I think the Pats will eke one out, but a spread of 9.5 is Vegas saying they don't expect the game to be competitive.

I guess we can never use the "disrespect card" to our advantage for as long as Brady is still here.

jets oline seems pretty decimated
