NFL predictions: Can the Jets start a winning streak when they take on the Patriots?

The New York Jets arrive in Foxborough seeking their first multi-game winning streak of the 2026 season after a hard-fought victory over the Cleveland Browns last week. Facing the New England Patriots—a team that has dominated their last three meetings and holds an 18-2 edge in head-to-head matchups—New York will need to overcome a lopsided series record (77-56-1 in favor of the Patriots) to break their losing trend.

The Jets’ defense, which has shown promise with a relentless pass rush, will look to pressure quarterback Drake Maye while limiting his yardage to under 200. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who has become a consistent threat with back-to-back 100-yard games, could be the key to a Jets upset, while linebacker Dane Belton aims to disrupt the Patriots’ offense with a turnover-causing play.

With the Patriots riding a three-game win streak, the Jets face a steep challenge—but a narrow 20-17 victory could mark a turning point for the struggling franchise.
