Thursday Night Football New England Patriots vs New York Jets Same Game Parlay: Rhamondre Stevenson runs wild at +643 odds 

PICKWISE

Aaron Rodgers has played in a grand total of 3 games for the New York Jets dating back to the start of last season, but he is already no stranger to primetime with his new team. After tearing an Achilles’ in Week 1 of the 2023 campaign, Rodgers returned for the beginning of this year as New York lost to the San Francisco 49ers in its opener. Now the Jets (1-1) face the New England Patriots (1-1) on Thursday Night Football in Week 3. Let’s break down our Patriots vs Jets Same Game Parlay picks for TNF, which gets underway at 8:15 pm ET on Prime Video. You can also find out our NFL picks for EVERY Week 3 matchup.

Patriots +3.5 alternate spread (+130) 

Rhamondre Stevenson to record 100+ rushing yards (+300)

Rhamondre Stevenson to score a touchdown (+110) 

Patriots vs Jets Same Game Parlay odds: +643

Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is the entire plan here, as New England running back Rhamondre Stevenson going off would obviously work well with the Patriots keeping it close. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.

New England Patriots +3.5 alternate spread over New York Jets (+130)

Rodgers has been decent so far and the Jets have won a game. In other words, things are going better than they went at the start of last season – which, of course, is not saying a lot. Rodgers has at least managed to remain mostly upright through 2 outings, but he hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. Following a blowout loss to the Niners, the Jets just barely got past a Tennessee Titans team that basically handed them a win thanks to some laughable turnovers by Will Levis. Meanwhile, New England has impressed relative to its low expectations. The Patriots upset the Cincinnati Bengals (who then almost beat the Kansas City Chiefs) and pushed the Seattle Seahawks to overtime (lost 23-20). In what figures to be a somewhat low-scoring affair, 3.5 points could go a long way. Give me the Pats to keep it within a field goal.

Rhamondre Stevenson to record 100+ rushing yards (+300) 

Stevenson has been stellar for the Patriots through 2 games and there is no reason to expect anything different on Thursday night. After all, New England is simply a run-first team – and that isn’t going to change with Jacoby Brissett under center (or Drake Maye, for that matter). Brissett has been serviceable so far as the Pats’ QB1, but he is without question a game manager. New head coach Jerod Mayo is not going to have Brissett sling it around 40 times per game. Instead, they will continue to hand the ball to Stevenson. Through 2 weeks this team ranks top 5 in percentage of rushing plays (58 percent) and rushing yards per contest (177.5).

Rhamondre Stevenson to score a touchdown (+110) 

How good has Stevenson been so far? Well, the 26-year-old has turned 25 and 21 carries into 120 and 81 rushing yards, respectively. He scored a touchdown in each of the first 2 games. Stevenson now goes up against a New York defense that is surrendering 155 rushing yards per game (9th-most in the league) on 4.7 yards per carry. The Jets have given up 3 TDs on the ground compared to just 1 through the air. All signs point to Stevenson running wild on Thursday, with at least 1 touchdown included.
