I think the Jets have been the better team in recent weeks, but I don’t think all the gloom and doom around the Patriots is reflective of a team that won’t show up. I expect the Patriots’ best effort and could envision a scenario where Tom Brady will play his best game of the season, the defense will rise up in the red zone again, and special teams will tighten up. I like the Jets’ mental toughness, but I also like the Patriots in that area. I think they get rewarded this week for hanging tough in tough times.
