The New York Jets (-6.5) are 1-1 and back in primetime for the 2nd time in 3 weeks. Aaron Rodgers has shown Jets fans a level of offense that hasn’t existed in almost 3 years. According to ESPN Jets Reporter Rich Cimini, this is the first time the Jets have thrown multiple TD passes in back-to-back games since Weeks 8-9 of the 2021 season. Divisional rival New England Patriots are 1-1 coming off an OT loss to the Seattle Seahawks and looking to bounce back against a much weaker defense on paper than their first 2 opponents. The Jets have allowed 49 points through 2 games (49ers 32 and Titans 17) and allowed scoring drives on 52.4% of possessions. The Jets hope to take advantage of the Patriots’ lack of a pass rush, getting pressure on only 16.9% of pass attempts (6th-worst in NFL).

Let’s break down my best Patriots vs Jets player prop bet for TNF, while you can also see our Patriots vs Jets predictions for tonight, which includes a 3-star best bet, as well as our NFL picks for EVERY game in Week 3!

Rhamondre Stevenson (NE) over 83.5 rush + receiving yards (-114) 

Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

The Jets have had issues through 2 weeks defending running backs and CJ Mosley potentially being a scratch would be huge for this struggling New York defense. Mosley left the game in the first half against the Titans last Sunday and didn’t return or practice all week; he is 50/50 to play tonight. Stevenson is the clear RB1 in New England and even though Antonio Gibson broke off on a big run last week, he’s still just playing spot duty in this offense. Rhamondre logged 78% and 72% of snaps through 2 weeks and his 25.5 touches per game are second only to Saquon Barkley so far. He should be in for another big workload on TNF and the Jets are allowing 4.7 yards per rush to opposing teams. This is 1u play for me and playable to 85.5.

We’ve locked in our Patriots vs Jets touchdown scorer best bets for TNF at +135 and +160 odds!
