The hype surrounding the New York Jets last year was intense as they took to the gridiron for their Week 1 home clash against the division rival Bills under the lights of Monday Night Football. However, the excitement quickly deflated after just four offensive snaps when Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles and was lost for the year. Despite Robert Saleh’s team managing a 22-16 overtime win, it was one of only seven victories they achieved for the rest of the season. Their 7-10 record resulted in a third-place finish in the AFC East, setting them up for a potentially successful 2024-25 season against one of the league's easier schedules.

As in the previous year, the Jets' defense was outstanding, allowing just over 292 yards per game (#3) and 20.9 points per game (#12). Unfortunately, the offense was largely ineffective, ranking in the bottom third of the league in key statistical categories across the board. Despite the defense forcing 27 takeaways (#5), including 17 interceptions, the offense struggled, ranking No. 26 in offensive yards per point (17.0) and No. 25 in time of possession. With the Zach Wilson-led offense routinely failing to find traction, the defense eventually faltered, conceding 28 or more points in five of their final eight games. With new additions to the defense and one of the best cornerback duos in the league, the hope is that the offense will thrive with a healthy Aaron Rodgers under center for the entire season.

Despite the offense's struggles last season due to injuries and subpar quarterback play, GM Joe Douglas worked diligently to improve the roster. On paper, he has successfully revamped the offensive side of the ball. The signing of veteran QB Tyrod Taylor could provide immediate benefits should Rodgers incur another catastrophic injury, while the fifth-round selection of former Florida State QB Jordan Travis offers hope for the future. The front office gambled on Mike Williams in hopes of deep threat can stay on the field and turn into a huge downfield weapon for an offense that’s lacked in that department for a number of years now. Most importantly, Douglas focused on strengthening the offensive line, which was a disaster last season, allowing 64 sacks due to injuries and poor performance.

In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Jets selected Penn State’s Olumuyiwa Fashanu with the No. 11 pick. They also acquired Tyron Smith from Dallas to protect Rodgers’ blindside and brought in John Simpson and Morgan Moses from Baltimore to give the offensive line a complete makeover. These additions, along with returning players Joe Tippmann and Alijah Vera-Tucker, should lead to significant improvement in the trenches, provided the longer in the tooth unit can stay healthy. These offseason moves should enable Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall to perform at their best, making the Jets a formidable contender in a competitive division, battling the Bills and Dolphins for the title. It’s certainly within the realm of possibility that New York’s defense truly gets to spread its wings this season with what looks to be a more than serviceable offense backing it up.

Oddsmakers have the J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets lined +227 dogs to win the division title, +1350 to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, and +2520 to win the Lombardi Trophy. Despite not winning more than seven games under Robert Saleh’s tenure, their win total is set at 10, with a -125 vig on the over. NFL bettors are optimistic about the team’s prospects for 2024-25, and for good reason. The AFC East is not as dominant as it once was which should allow the Jets to be in the title race from the start. However, the AFC as a whole is still ultracompetitive, and despite a favorable schedule based on opponent win totals per Sharp Football Analysis, the Jets will face challenges such as four short-week games, a Week 5 trip to London, and a bye week that doesn't come until late November. For the Jets to succeed, their key offseason acquisitions and core players must remain healthy and perform consistently throughout the season.

To this day, that is the high point in the franchise's history. The last playoff appearance for the Jets came back in 2010 with the team finishing dead last in the AFC East seven of the last 10 seasons heading into the 2024-25 NFL betting campaign.
