The New England Patriots ran with ease in their Week 1 late loss to the Miami Dolphins, and should look to do the same in Week 2 on the road against the New York Jets.

If not for a late fumble by Damien Harris in the red zone, the Patriots are likely 1-0, a top the AFC East division after losses by Buffalo and New York.

Unfortunately for Harris, he was on his way to a very impressive game. He carried 23 times for 100 yards and would have likely had a chance to score to try and put the game away in Foxboro last week.

Now in Week 2, WynnBET Sportsbook has set the Patriots' running back's projected total rushing yards at 73.5, with the over heavily juiced at -125 odds, compared to -115 on the under.

Belichick still trusts Damien Harris despite the costly fumble

With talented rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson inactive this week vs. the Jets, it sets up Harris for another big day on the ground. Last week, the Jets allowed Christian McCaffrey to run for 98 yards while catching nine passes for 89 yards.

Furthermore, look for the Patriots to also get James White going in the passing game this week. White was tied with Jakobi Meyers with six receptions for 49 yards on seen targets. This week, White is projected for 26.5 receiving yards at WynnBET, with the over juiced once again to -125 odds. With Mac Jones already targeting his running back that frequently in his first NFL start, there's already a nice connection set up moving forward as a security blanket in case the Jets send pressure on blitzes and different defensive looks.
