Betting on NFLs best: New England Patriots vs. New York Jets on MNF

The NFL scheduled a dandy for the week 13 edition of “Monday Night Football,” as the New England Patriots and New York Jets meet to determine who’s no. 1 in the AFC East – and the entire conference.

While the Patriots took some time (and a Randy Moss trade) to find their way, the Jets set the pace for their currently 9-2 season with an easy 28-14 week two victory in The Big Apple. While New Englanders are surely touting their team’s 25 straight wins at home, New York is the sole undefeated team on the road in 2010 and have won eight straight away. Nevertheless, the moneylines on this game at Bookmaker say the Pats are a -205 favorite, while the Jets get +175.

Bookmaker online sportsbook is also reporting that the second-most popular bet over there this weekend was to wager on the Patriots minus the points, though the line hasn’t budged much off the original Jets +3: Bookmaker, BroburySports and BetUS all have a line of Patriots -3.5 posted.

The X factor among individual players? It has to be Deion Branch, the former Super Bowl MVP who returned to New England to fill the gap left by Moss’ exit. Since Branch has joined the Patriots, they’re 6-1 with victories against the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers: playoff contenders all. Pats fans are loving the return of the multi-optioned, typically short-yardage passing game so typical of the mid-2000s. Branch is at the heart of the new/old schemes and last week turned in a two TD performance against the Detroit Lions. BetUS has over/unders of 4.5 receptions and 65.5 yards for the WR, making for two tempting overs indeed.
