This is definitely a game that the Patriots are going to win, hands down. The New York Jets are just a mess across the board, other than former Louisville football running back Bilal Powell. He has actually been one of the best back-up running backs in the entire National Football League this season.

He has gotten most of the carries over the past two weeks because of an injury to Matt Forte and has completely dominated.

Powell had the game-tying and the game-winning touchdowns against San Fransisco. Then had over 160 total yards in the Jets’ 34-13 loss to the Dolphins last weekend.

Another strong game against the Patriots could give Powell an opportunity to be the main back for New York in 2017.
