JETS at PATS

HANK’S HONEYS: The Patriots, for once, have a meaningful Week 17 game and, playing at home with a chance to wrap up the AFC’s top seed, even this huge spread won’t be too big to cover. Of Pats’ seven Super Bowl appearances under Bill Belichick, five have come via the No. 1 seed, so it’s important to him. Besides, the erstwhile HC of the Patriots never minds putting it to his AFC East rivals when he has the chance. Jets have been money ATS at home but have lost their last four road games while Pats have had little trouble covering big spreads at home. They’re perfect ATS the last seven times they’ve been favored by at least 14 points. Can’t see Bryce Petty suddenly coming alive in a shootout scenario with Tom Brady or Jets slowing down Gronk. IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Patriots and the under.
