I have no idea if this would actually factor into the line-making, but consider this.

1) Miami has kept a lot of games close, and is arguably as good, if not better than the Jets. I think in the next two weeks, it's possible we'll see a Dolphins win, which will inflate the public opinion, for right or wrong.

2) It's the Jets. Assuming the Pats stay undefeated and continue to win games by double digits and the Jets continue to lose games, can you imagine what the public will think? Big Bad Belicheck going up against his archnemesis and ready to lay the gauntlet. I could see the line being juiced up to take the NE action.

of course, I could be completely wrong on all of this and if I am i'm sure I'll hear about it.
