NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take New England. According to latest NFL trends, the home team is 5-2 against the spread in the last seven meetings overall and the Jets are 6-13-1 against the spread in their last 20 games versus New England. The Patriots are also 6-0-1 against the number in their last seven games in Week 7, 4-0 ATS in their last four games versus the AFC and 4-1 ATS in their last five games versus the AFC East. The Patriots will come out firing after their loss to the Seahawks last week and the Jets don’t have the firepower on offense to keep pace with New England for four quarters. Look for Bill Belichick to run up the score if he gets the chance, especially considering Rex Ryan is on the other side.
