An opener of New England -9 is up to -10 with news that Sam Darnold is out. The Patriots haven?t been very good on the road this season. That will temper any public enthusiasm for the chalk here. Haven?t seen any dog interest yet on the Jets at the ten. Old school guys are waiting to see if they can get a hook or +11. We?ll probably eventually have a tug-of-war because both teams have betting constituencies. I?ll say it this way?this will be less heavily bet than normal because a lot of New England money is tired of losing road games against the spread (and straight up for that matter).
The Pats are 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games when favored by 9.5 or more.
