Week 2 NFL Hot Pick Prediction: New York Jets 17 – New England Patriots 30

Even though the Patriots may have a depleted receiving team, Tom Brady is not happy with last week’s performance against the Buffalo Bills. Forget about the infamous Mark Sanchez "buttfumble" game in which Tom Brady and the New England Patriots single handily massacred the New York Jets during last year Thanksgiving Day game. Gino Smith will not have the same success as he did against his 18-17 win over the Tampa Buccaneers.

The film room this week will not help Gino Smith in his attempt to clear a victory over the sluggish Patriots defense. Coach Bill Belichick week 2 game plan is to have his defense in sack mode. Even though Gino Smith will have some growing pains in this rival AFC match-up, this trial under fire will be his coming out game.

Despite the many injuries the Patriots are dealing with, there will be a few players that will step up their game and help the Patriots seal a victory in week 2.

Tom Brady 3 touchdown scores will be a better outing for the franchise QB, as his 98.9 passer rating will be a pleasant outing for a team seeking to stay above the pack in the AFC wavering division.
