TNF bets: Do Jets have any hope of preventing Pats' 8th straight win?

Two of the past three prime-time games have been complete duds. There's a chance we get a third with the Jets on the schedule, as they take on the Patriots in New England for Thursday Night Football.

Led by MVP favorite Drake Maye, the Pats are on a seven-game winning streak and hold a commanding lead in the AFC East. The Jets, to their credit, are on a mini-winning streak of their own, but they're well out of the playoff race at 2-7 and much more in contention for the first overall selection.

Let's get to our pick against the spread (ATS), player props, and touchdown scorers for the Thursday nighter.

🏈 Pick: Jets (+12.5)

This one could easily backfire, but I'll side with the Jets and a whopping 12.5 points in a division game on short rest. The situation is exactly what we saw last week when the Dolphins upset the Bills - these AFC East teams can play each other tough, and the Patriots are likely more concerned with getting through this contest healthy rather than running up the score.

New England is undoubtedly the better team and boasts a 7-3 ATS record this season. However, the Patriots are only 2-3 ATS at home, while the Jets are 2-1 ATS on the road. I'm banking on a big performance from New York's defense, a unit that was depleted at the trade deadline but showed fight last week against the Browns. If the Jets can prevent giving up big plays to Maye and Co. and falling behind quickly, they should linger around and cover in what should be an ugly, low-scoring affair.

🏈 Bet: Under 20.5 pass completions

Maye has completed 20-plus passes in four of 10 games this campaign, including three consecutive contests with 19 or fewer. I don't expect the Patriots to play aggressively on offense in a contest they should have little trouble winning. We should see a heavy dose of TreVeyon Henderson out of the backfield.

🏈 Bet: Over 5.5 rushing attempts

Maye has seven or more rushing attempts in five straight outings. You'd think running the ball would be a bad idea in a game you're trying to escape unscathed, but, unlike other running quarterbacks, Maye doesn't take big hits. Forcing throws and turning the ball over is the only way New England loses this contest, and Maye can use his legs to pick up key first downs to wear down the Jets' defense.

🏈 Bet: Over 16.5 rushing attempts

Hall is the only offensive weapon the Jets have, and New York needs to keep Maye off the field by running the ball and burning the clock to have any hope in this matchup. Hall has 18 or more rushing attempts in three of his last four games.

🙌 Bet: Anytime TD (+145)

Henry leads all Patriots pass-catchers in routes run heading into Week 11 and has consistently been a reliable target for Drake Maye. With a concussion keeping Austin Hooper out Thursday, Henry should see increased playing time. The 30-year-old has a great matchup on prime time, as the Jets have allowed the second-most touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season.

🙌 Bet: Anytime TD (+250)

We'll go straight tight ends on Thursday night and look for Taylor to benefit against a Patriots defense allowing the sixth-most receiving yards and receptions to the position. Taylor has also run the most routes on New York's offense this year, and his 44 targets lead all Jets pass-catchers with Garrett Wilson sidelined.
