New England at New York

Drake Maye can take a significant step to win MVP honors here. He has a perfect patsy in the Jets this week. New York's defense has worn down from missing some of its top defenders, who were traded, to being on the field way too much. The Jets are giving up an average of 37 points per game in their last three games. Maye certainly can exploit this. He has the highest quarterback rating in the league, ranks fourth in passing yards, and has accounted for 29 touchdowns. New England is averaging 28.8 points during its last nine games. This includes scoring 27 points against the Jets in Week 11 when New York was playing better defense. The Patriots are going to do the heavy lifting to get this total OVER, but the Jets can chip in. This will be rookie Brady Cooks' fourth pro game behind center and first start at home. He has thrown for more yards in each succeeding game. New England has allowed an average of 22 points per game in its last seven games. Take the OVER.
