New York Jets vs. New England Patriots (8:25 PM ET)
Both teams are coming off last-second wins in their season openers, but the level of satisfaction on both sides was markedly different.
The Jets came away with a one-point victory over Tampa Bay in quarterback Geno Smith’s NFL debut and will look to carry that momentum into their showdown with the host Patriots on Thursday night. New England blew a 10-point lead and needed a late comeback lead by Tom Brady to overcome Buffalo.
Odds: NY Jets (+11.5) vs. New England (-11.5), O/U: 43.5
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of the NY Jets’ last 6 games. However, the total has gone OVER in 7 of New England’s last 9 games at home. Take note, the road team is 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 meetings.

NCAAF
(24) TCU Horned Frogs vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders (8:30 PM ET)
With QB Casey Pachall out for a while, the TCU Horned Frogs will now have to rely on the inconsistent Trevone Boykin. However, Boykin played very well against Texas Tech last season when he threw for a career-high 332 yards and four touchdowns in his third career start. Meanwhile, the Red Raiders have opened 2-0 for the ninth straight year, averaging 51 points a game with walk-on freshman quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Odds: TCU (-3.0) vs. Texas Tech (+3.0), O/U: 63.0
The Horned Frogs are doing great away from home, going 17-3 SU in their last 20 road games. Meanwhile, the Red Raiders are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home.
