Current odds:

New York Jets: (+600)

New England Patriots: (-900)

 

• The line for the game is New England by 14 points.

• Darnold, the third overall pick in this year’s draft, is coming off his best game in last week’s 44-38 overtime loss to Green Bay, posting a 128.4 passer rating while throwing for three touchdowns and a career-high 341 yards. Robby Anderson has emerged as a weapon for Darnold since his return from injury, scoring a touchdown in each of the past three games and hauling in 20 passes for 312 yards. Running back Elijah McGuire, who spent more than half the season on injured reserve, also is providing a jolt out of the backfield by rushing for a touchdown in the last three games as well as catching a scoring pass against the Packers. New York ranks 26th in the league against both the pass (254.7 yards) and the rush (126.0).

• Tom Brady threw for a season-worst 126 yards and was picked off twice in last week’s 24-12 win over Buffalo, but New England leaned on the running game and churned out 273 yards rushing while possessing the ball for 35 1/2 minutes. Rookie running back Sony Michel registered his fourth 100-yard game overall and first since he piled up a season-high 133 yards yards and a touchdown in the win over New York last month. In the first game since wide receiver Josh Gordon was suspended, Gronkowski was held without a catch for the first time this season, although he had three receptions for 56 yards and a score in the previous meeting. The Patriots have permitted 17 points or fewer in four of their past five games.

• Brady has 10 touchdowns and zero interceptions in the past four at home versus New York.
