After breaking down film of both teams, Scouts Inc. offers 10 things to watch in this week's Jets-Patriots matchup.

1. Prepare for Goliath: The Patriots ended the season with an eight-game winning streak and were undefeated at home. The Patriots also scored a whopping 205 more points than they allowed in 2010 -- by far the best mark in the league. They are 6-1 against 2010 playoff teams.
