00:00All right, the Jets are minus six and a half here for this home opener, a Thursday night
00:08game.
00:09The total is now 38 and a half for this one.
00:13I think me and you have been on the same page with this all week.
00:17We like what we've seen from the Patriots so far in terms of they're going to try to
00:21control this game a little bit and be able to stick around within that six and a half
00:26points.
00:28It is rather meaty, isn't it?
00:30Meat on the bone, the New York on the bone steak.
00:34I think, look, the only way they cover is if they don't turn the ball over and they
00:39play smash mouth defense and capitalize on any mistakes that the Jets might make.
00:44A hit and a fumble, a pick, a tip and a pick.
00:48They got to take advantage of the Jets' mistakes because I don't think Rogers makes a lot of
00:53them, right?
00:54So I could easily see Rogers beating them by seven.
00:59And what I want to happen is the Patriots to cover the six and a hook.
01:05That's what I want to happen.
01:07But I'm not sure it's going to happen because let's face facts.
01:11Aaron Rodgers against Jacoby Brissett, I mean, you got to be kidding me.
01:15This is like on paper.
01:17Just the thought of it is 10 points to me.
01:20Just the thought of it is the Jets by 10.
01:25There's one thing that worries me about this game from the Patriot perspective.
01:30They haven't had a situation yet this year where they're down multiple scores, right?
01:36They played from ahead in Cincinnati.
01:38They held the ball the whole time.
01:39They controlled the clock.
01:41The Seahawks game was back and forth.
01:43Nobody was ever up by more than a score.
01:45They could still play their game.
01:47I'm worried that if they get down 10, 14 points early in this game and they have to try to
01:53change the way that they've played over the first few weeks and suddenly, like you said,
01:59then Jacoby Brissett becomes a thrower of the football.
02:03And that's probably not something that you want.
02:05So that's the scenario, Scotty, that makes me a little nervous when it comes for the
02:09Patriots.
02:10You're probably right.
02:11I don't think that's good.
02:12That's not going to be a fun situation for them.
02:14They need to control this game and keep it low scoring.
