Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are set to host the New York Jets in an AFC East battle on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. New York has struggled mightily in its first two games, blowing a 16-3 lead against the Bills in Week 1 and then getting dismantled 23-3 by the Browns on Monday night. The Patriots, meanwhile, have covered both games this season and scored over 30 points each time. And despite releasing Antonio Brown after just one game with the team, New England remains a massive favorite against the Jets on Sunday. In fact, the Patriots are favored by 21.5-points in the latest Jets vs. Patriots odds, while the Over-Under is 43.5.

The model knows New England features one of the most explosive offenses in the league with Brady, Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon and Sony Michel. However, it's been New England's defense that has been making a ton of noise thus far this season. In fact, the Patriots' defense ranks first in total defense (246.0), first in points per game allowed (1.5) and second in rushing yards per game allowed (37). 

The Patriots have also had a ton of success against AFC East opponents in recent years. New England has won eight of its last nine games against a divisional opponent and is 7-2 against the spread during that span. 

The Jets, meanwhile, saw their quarterback situation get even worse when Trevor Siemian, already filling in for Sam Darnold (mononucleosis), hurt his ankle against the Browns. This week, New York will turn to Luke Falk, who finished with 198 yards on 20 completions last week against Cleveland. Falk threw 119 touchdowns at Washington State and recorded at least 30 touchdown passes in his final three seasons as a Cougar. 

New England's offense ranks second in the league in points per game, averaging 38 points per contest so far this season. Plus, the Patriots have been unbeatable at Gillette Stadium over the years, going 17-0 in their last 17 games at home. As for New York, the Jets enter Sunday's matchup allowing opponents an average of 20 points per game.
