Pros
- The Jets are a huge 10.5-point underdog in this week’s contest, which points towards an extreme passing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 4th-largest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 132.8 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- Opposing QBs have averaged 38.1 pass attempts per game versus the New England Patriots defense this year: 6th-most in the league.
- THE BLITZ projects Garrett Wilson to total 7.9 targets in this game, on average, ranking in the 86th percentile among wide receivers.
- Garrett Wilson has been a big part of his team’s passing attack, earning a Target Share of 22.5% this year, which places him in the 82nd percentile among wideouts.
Cons
- The weather forecast calls for 18-mph wind in this game. High wind typically means reduced pass volume (and higher run volume) and decreased passing efficiency.

- The New England Patriots pass defense has allowed the 3rd-lowest Completion% in the league (61.2%) vs. wideouts this year (61.2%).
