Patriots vs Jets expert picks
Adam Kaufman: Patriots 28, Jets 17
That looked a little more like the Patriots we expected, didn't it? Drake Maye and the offense are finding their footing, and the Jets arrive after winning a game against the Browns that nobody needs to watch twice. New England's backfield takes a hit with TreVeyon Henderson expected to miss multiple weeks. More work for Rhamondre Stevenson, and another reason Maye needs to keep this passing game moving. Breece Hall's availability matters for New York. The Jets need sustained possessions, manageable third downs and a game that doesn't force them to chase points. I like the Patriots to control this one without needing another 45-point afternoon. Win the turnover battle and the rest
should follow.
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz: Patriots 31, Jets 17
In one of the sharpest early-season turnarounds we've seen thus far in 2026, Drake Maye is fully back to his NFL MVP runner-up form. That's a difficult blow for the Jets, who probably needed to face the more error-prone version of the quarterback in order to score an upset. Rookie David Bailey and the pass rush might give Gang Green a chance if they can keep Maye under pressure, but the defense's struggles to generate any takeaways cap the potential for chaos here.
Nicholas Brinkerhoff: Patriots 28, Jets 21
Everyone believes the Patriots are back. Are they? New England took advantage of a porous Bills defense and then an upstart Raiders bunch that had to travel across the country following a deflating defeat to the rival Chiefs. Credit the Patriots for taking care of business, but Drake Maye still has a long way to go before entering the circle of trust again. The Jets could get some reinforcements back this week and Aaron Glenn's defense has been respectable. The Patriots still get the job done, but it could be closer than some might expect.
