I still can't believe anyone was rooting for New England. If the Pats won they would have had a jump start on many tie breakers, including 2-0 in the conference and 1-0 within the division with a road win over one of the two division biggies. Next week they host Buffalo.
Besides, as someone else posted, it's preferable to host the Jets when they are coming off a win. Road teams coming off a victory typically do not have the same intensity or urgency as road teams coming off a loss. I've posted that many times; road teams off a loss 9% better against the spread than road teams off a win. It holds up year after year. Not a coincidence. It didn't matter than the Vikings were coming off a loss today. Home teams are not impacted.
