Times have changed in the AFC East rivalry between the New York Jets and New England Patriots.

The Jets broke a 15-game losing streak to the Patriots in last year’s regular-season finale, but now bettors have to lay nearly a touchdown to back New York against New England on “Thursday Night Football.”

The Jets were home favorites of 6 to 6½ points against the Patriots overnight at Las Vegas sportsbooks. The consensus total was 38½.

The Westgate SuperBook was offering the best price on the Jets at -6 (-108), and Caesars Sportsbook and Circa Sports were also at Jets -6. BetMGM, Boyd Gaming, South Point and Station Sports were at Jets -6½.

The Patriots dominated the rivalry for two decades with quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick, but now both have departed.

The Jets (1-1) won and covered -4 in a 24-17 victory last week at Tennessee. The Patriots (1-1) covered +3½ for some bettors in a 23-20 overtime loss to Seattle, but pushed for others at +3.

Jets running back Breece Hall is the +350 favorite to score the first touchdown of the game at the SuperBook. Jets receiver Garrett Wilson and Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson are 6-1.

The prop totals for Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, playing his first home game for New York since tearing his Achilles tendon in last year’s opener, are 214½ passing yards and 1½ touchdown passes (under -145) at the SuperBook. He is -130 not to throw an interception (yes +110).

The prop totals for Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett are 167½ passing yards and 0½ touchdown passes (over -160). He is a pick’em (-110 on both sides) to throw an interception.
