Our trusted projections expect the Patriots to be the 7th-most pass-heavy team in football near the goal line (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 60.0% red zone pass rate.The passing attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm weather conditions (4-mph wind) being forecasted in this game, while run volume may drop.The New England O-line ranks as the 6th-best in the NFL this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a strong impact on all air attack metrics across the board.This year, the weak New York Jets defense has been gouged for a monstrous 1.80 passing TDs per game to opposing offenses: the 4th-highest rate in the league.The New York Jets linebackers project as the 6th-worst group of LBs in the NFL this year in covering pass-catchers.
