The injury to the New England Patriots' Tom Brady ha already hit home as Vegas, where the New York Jets are the early favorites to beat the Pats this week. According to SNY-TV's Jets Blog, the Patriots haven't been a Vegas underdog in the regular season since December, 2006.

Just rolling around some lines on the web, America's Line is posting the Jets as a three-point favorite, TheSpread.com has the Jets minus-2½ as does The Gold Sheet. Keep in mind that this information is just FYI .. no wagering please.

If you were to --- ummmm --- wager on this game --- just hypothetically would you take the Jets minus-3? Not like you ARE going to wager, I'm just saying.
