Pro Football Network: Patriots 26, Jets 17

Ben Rolfe writes: "The Patriots absolutely humiliated the Jets and Zach Wilson the last time these two met. It is really hard to see how this can go any differently after witnessing the performance by Wilson in London. However, the Patriots have major question marks right now. Losing to a divisional rival that is also one of the worst teams in the league would set off major alarm bells in Foxborough."

Sportsnaut: Patriots 24, Jets 14

Andrew Buller-Russ writes: "Bill Belichick routinely beats up on rookie quarterbacks, and there’s little reason to think Wilson will be an exception in the second of the teams’ two head-to-head meetings. This is no longer mid-major college football. It’s the AFC East, and even during last year’s down season, New England was still 5-3 at home."

Cole Huff writes: "Three of New England’s four losses have been by one score, while one of their two wins has also been by a single score. The Patriots’ other win on the season was a 25-6 win over the Jets in Week 2. New York has been better since that game, but it’s unlikely that the outcome will change. New England should take this one at home but expect for it to be another one-score game."

CBS Sports: Patriots 28, Jets 21

Jordan Dajani writes: "The Jets are coming off their bye week, but haven't defeated the Patriots in Foxborough since 2011, and I don't think that changes in 2021."

Andy Vasquez writes: "The Jets haven't beaten the Patriots since 2015. And it's too much to ask them to sweep the season series. The Jets manage to keep this one respectable, something they haven't done during their past five games in New England, losing each by 14 points or more. But the Patriots offense is starting to click and they find a way to get the job done."

Sportsnaut: Patriots 24, Jets 17

Matt Johnson writes: "The Patriots have to be happy they are facing Wilson twice within the first two months. There’s a long adjustment period for rookies, especially when making the jump from a program like BYU to the NFL. Expect New England’s defense to dictate this entire game, delivering the Pats to a 3-4 record on the season."
