Sunday's NFL Divisional Playoff Play of the Day
Sunday, January 16, 2011 at 7:57AM No surprise here... The New England Patriots
Depending on where you look, New England is favored by 9.5 to 10 points over the Jets. It won't be that close.
New England is on an 8 game winning streak and they like to do their talking on the field. The Jets have been erratic the last month or so and they like to do their talking, well they talk all of the time.
This 51-year-old rivalry has been dead even over the years – including two New England wins in the playoffs, the series is tied 51-51-1 – and it has been as heated as ever since the outspoken Ryan took over the Jets last season. But the Patriots' play did the talking in the most recent meeting, a 45-3 blowout in Week 13 that avenged New York's 28-14 home victory in Week 2.
The home team is 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings in this series. Look for the New England tight ends to have a big game.
Take the Patriots and give the points.
* Bonus play - The Over, which is only 44 pts right now.
