New York Jets vs New England Patriots Prediction

The Patriots' defense still knows how to confuse rookie quarterbacks. Zach Wilson could have a better statline than their first battle, but the result will be the same. The Patriots defense will cause Wilson to have an ugly statline at the end of the game.

Prediction

The Patriots will win after Wilson throws two interceptions. Mac Jones will get the Patriots ahead and won't look back.

The Patriots will coast to a victory and win by 17 points.
