Jets (4-1) at Patriots (5-0)
1 p.m. Eastern. Line: Patriots by 9
After two straight road victories, the Patriots return home to Foxborough for a battle for first place in the A.F.C. East with an all-too-familiar foe: the Jets. On paper, this promises to be a matchup not unlike so many of the Patriots-Jets games in recent years, centered on a stingy, rugged Jets defense taking on a high-flying Patriots offense. Entering this game, the Patriots’ offense ranks as the N.F.L.’s highest-scoring unit, averaging 36.6 points per game. The Jets’ defense ranks as the league’s best, giving up an average of only 15 points.
