Thursday Night Football kicks off tonight at 8:15 p.m. EST as the New York Jets host the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets are 6.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and the total is 38.5 points.
New York is 1-1 after being trampled by the San Francisco 49ers, 32-19, then beating the Tennessee Titans, 24-17. New England is also 1-1 after upsetting the Cincinnati Bengals, 16-10, then losing in overtime to the Seattle Seahawks, 23-20.
Though MetLife Stadium could get rowdy for the Jets’ home opener, I like the Patriots to cover the spread.
