Expert Predictions: Week 6 Picks for Jets at Patriots
Patriots.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Drake Maye has significantly improved over the last six quarters, completing 71.4% of his passes with six touchdowns and no interceptions, boosting the Patriots' offense to an NFL-best 37 points per game since Week 4.
- The Patriots have managed this offensive surge despite missing star receiver A.J. Brown, who is eligible to return from injured reserve and is expected to be a key factor alongside receivers Kyle Williams, Demario Douglas, and Efton Chism III.
- The Jets' defense, led by Aaron Glenn, features a strong pass rush that could challenge Maye, while quarterback Geno Smith is performing well with a high completion rate and no interceptions, keeping the Jets competitive.
- Despite the Jets' resilience, the Patriots' recent form suggests they have the upper hand, especially if cornerback Christian Gonzalez returns healthy, potentially allowing New England to pull ahead in the division.
