After their offense sputtered in a loss to the rival New York Jets two months ago, the New England Patriots will have a chance to all but bury the struggling Jets in the AFC East if they can improve to 6-0 at home on Sunday.

NFL betting lines have the Patriots currently listed as 10.5-point home favorites.

The loss to Indy in Week 10 ended New England’s three-game winning streak and put a dent in its chances of gaining a first-round playoff bye, but the Patriots still hold a two-game lead on New York and Miami in the East.

New York’s defense hasn’t been as dominant since an impressive 3-0 start under new coach Rex Ryan, the longtime Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator. While the Jets still rank second in the NFL in total defense, the last six opponents have averaged 126.0 yards on the ground, with the team going 1-5.
