Who would have tought some weeks ago that the Jets are only slight underdog at the Patriots....and I think their odds still have value, lol. NE just wants this season to finish I guess, while the Jets might want to keep playing given their recent success. They beat two teams who were fighting for their PO spot and I can't see any reason, why they shouldn't be able to also beat the Pats in this divisional matchup, who have averaged an abysmal 8pts in their last three. I would like to see Cam start for this bet, but Stidham will be fine too. I think the odds for the Jets just aren't <2, because it would be too weird to see the Jets being favourite. But for me they are, Jets ML @2.40.
And I generally like the Broncos ML, not sure what makes the Raiders favs here. They both have their fair share of injuries and I read everywhere how banged up the DEN defense is, but they were doing ok-ish imo against the Chargers. I would more worry about the LV defense which allows their opponents to score heavily on them. But I won't have a pre-match bet here, since the Raiders are doing very good on the road this season (5-2, @home only 2-6).
Honestly that is more about Patriots not being good this season instead of jets being anything at all
Jets are still as bad as it comes, they are not really just "slight underdog" to any team, they are underdogs to the whole league at this point.
However Patriots are nowhere near the level they used to be Tom Brady was one of the (if not the best) best quarterbacks in history of NFL, which is why they were that good for that many years, and they have certainly put really good players around him as well but without the best QB ever, you are obviously going to suck for a while, even at his older age he was still decent, he is still playing very well currently, on his 20th year if I am not wrong, maybe 21th. So long story short when you are betting for patriots and jets game, you do not know which one to bet on, because they both suck big time
