New England Patriots vs New York Jets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/28/25

The New England Patriots have a chance to clinch the AFC East in Week 17 of the NFL season as they visit the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon. New England will get the job done with a win and a Buffalo loss to Philadelphia. Regardless, this is another huge game for a team that is currently occupying the #2 seed in the conference. New York, on the other hand, has long since been eliminated from playoff contention at 3-12. The only thing the Jets are in contention for is a top-2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. This is quite simply a matchup between one of the best teams in the league and one of the worst. When you can get New England at less than 2 touchdowns, it’s an opportunity that should be taken. My Patriots vs Jets pick is for the visitors to win and cover.

It’s hard to even describe just how bad New York is right now. Head coach Aaron Glenn’s squad is on a 3-game losing streak and it is 1-5 in its last 6 contests. During this stretch, every single one of its setbacks has come by at least 13 points. The Jets’ last 3 losses have been by 24, 28 and 23 points. With Justin Fields on injured reserve and Tyrod Taylor’s starting days are over (he is questionable for this weekend anyway), Brady Cook is now the quarterback. Through 3 NFL appearances, Cook has 1 touchdown pass and 6 interceptions. New England, on the other hand, is 11-1 in its last 12 games with only a 35-31 loss to Buffalo during this stretch. Count on this being a beatdown of the highest order.
