Brady and the Patriots need to put on a show vs the Jets

The New England Patriots and Tom Brady continue to deny that they have any animosity towards the New York Jets, but there can be little doubt that they would love to destroy the Jets in the same manner that they did in the regular season on December 6th, when they won 45-3.

Although the defeat resulted in many ramifications, one of the biggest has been the discussion as to whether Tom Brady was guilty of overly taunting the Jets' Cromartie. However, with trash talking a common part of the NFL, this won't be the first time that Brady has been involved with a bit of banter. It may, though, be the first time that he has been left wanting subsequently to go out and show that, if he was pointing at Cromartie, then he was right to do so and that Cromartie’s response is just that of a man who wishes he was a better player.

However, with the Jets sure to be looking to make a point in order to prove that they are better than their regular season record would lead fans of the NFL to suggest, you can see how it's a heated scenario. Despite this, the Jets know that they will need to find a way to unsettle Tom Brady if they are to stand any chance whatsoever of beating a side that is still at the top of their game despite having had to rebuild in recent years. The American football betting shows just how hard this will be.

Despite being overly reliant upon Brady, the top team of the AFC regular still boasts a decent defence, with the Jets only managing to score a field goal against them in their last match-up. Should the Jets want to get to the AFC Championship game, then they will need to show that they have answers to the questions that the Patriots posed them in their last match-up, even if that means examining why exactly fingers were pointed.
