Best bets for Thursday Night Football

The top and the bottom of the AFC East are on display on Thursday when the first-place New England Patriots host the last-place New York Jets. The Patriots are 8-2 and are the hottest team in football, having won seven games in a row, most recently against the Buccaneers. The Pats are also a perfect 5-0 at home this season. The Jets were the last team in the NFL to win a game this season, but they've quietly won two in a row with wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns. This is the first meeting between these two rivals this season, and the Patriots are 2-0 in AFC East play while the Jets are 0-2. 

The Patriots have gotten a breakout Year 2 from Drake Maye, the No. 3 pick in last year's draft. The North Carolina product has completed over 71% of his passes for 2,555 yards and 19 touchdowns to five interceptions, and he enters Week 11 with the second-shortest MVP odds at BetMGM at +300, trailing only Matthew Stafford. Maye would be the second Patriots player to win NFL MVP, joining the legendary Tom Brady, who won it three times in New England. The Jets, meanwhile, had a fire sale at the trade deadline, trading defensive stars Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams for three first-round picks and a second-round selection as well as two players. 

The Patriots are big favorites at home, and the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, likes Over 43.5, as that side of the total hits in over 60% of simulations, good for an 'A' grade. Bet on Jets-Patriots at BetMGM to get bonus bets:
