The Jets, paced by Joe Namath's five touchdown passes, crushed Houston 52-13 last weekend and Bronco fans can still remember vividly the 45-7 defeat the Oilers hung on Denver in the season opener.

In other Sunday action, Kansas City is at Boston, Houston at Buffalo and San Diego at Oakland. The Patriots will be making their first home appearance of the season after splitting their first two games and faced with the task of stopping the high-scoring Chiefs, who have won their first two games. Kansas City features apotent running attack centered around Bert Coan and rookie Mike Garrett, and this figures to help the Chiefs since Boston's biggest defensive asset is its blitzing attack. The Pats have a capable runner in Jim Nance, who currently leads the league in rushing, but the Chiefs' offense looks to be too much to handle for Boston.

Kansas City is tabbed a 10-point pick. Buffalo lost its first two games but rebounded with 'a strong 58-24 victory over Miami last weekend. The Bills have two fine runners in Wray Carlton and rookie Bobby Burnett While Houston bases its. attack on the passing arm of 39-year-old George Blanda. The Oilers looked bad in losing to the Jets last weekend and the Bills seem to finally be on the move thanks to the return to form of quarterback Jack Kemp.

Buffalo rates an eight-point choice in this one. San Diego may be a bit rusty after a two week layoff, but the Raiders don't seem to have enough to handle the Chargers just the same. Oakland (1-2) has the league's second best defense but the Chargers (2-0) boast the league's top quarterback in John Hadl and have a wide-open offense that has registered 51 points to their opponents' seven in two games. The Raiders will put the ball in the air a majority of the time with Art Powell, Clem Daniels and Tom Mitchell ranked among the league's best in receiving. Earlham nips Franklin, 7-6 RICHMOND, Ind.
