New York Jets NFL Week 2 Odds

The New York Jets’ decade-long playoff drought doesn’t look like it will come to an end this season. Since 2010, the Jets have only posted one winning season, and things don’t look great at the start of the 2020 campaign. New England and Buffalo are clearly better teams, while Miami is showing signs of life after tearing it down and building from scratch last year. Things aren’t likely to get much better this week either as the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers will travel to the Meadowlands for Week 2.

New York Jets Week 2 Matchup

There are real concerns in the backfield for the Jets entering their game against the San Francisco 49ers. Le’Veon Bell was placed on IR with a hamstring injury during the week, and he will miss at least the next three games as a result. That means veteran Frank Gore will be the primary running back against the Niners, and he will relish taking on his old team.

Gore is no longer the workhorse running back he once was at the age of 37. He is clearly the team’s best option though, as La’Mical Perine is doubtful to play in Week 2, leaving the Jets with Josh Adams and Kalen Ballage at the position after Ballage was signed on Tuesday. Adams only carried the ball eight times for this team last season, while Ballage set a new low for futility with the Dolphins in 2019, averaging 1.8 YPC.

There is no option behind Sam Darnold either this week as Joe Flacco is still recovering from offseason neck surgery. The other two quarterbacks on the roster are Mike White and rookie James Morgan, and neither player has thrown a pass in an NFL game.

The Jets aren’t great on offense as it is, but those injuries really put a damper on this team’s potential. To make matters worse, the receiving corps is incredibly banged up with three players on IR including second-round draft pick Denzel Mims.

San Francisco’s defense will likely feast on this team as a result. The 49ers front seven should completely shut down the Jets’ ground game, as Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and rookie Javon Kinlaw will be happy to not face a mobile quarterback like Kyler Murray this week. If the Jets are going to win this game, Darnold must make some big throws, and he would probably target Emmanuel Moseley given Richard Sherman is the other cornerback.

Although the 49ers clearly seem to be the better team, they are dealing with injury issues of their own. Star tight end George Kittle is questionable to play this week after leaving last week’s game against Arizona due to a sprained left knee, and receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Richie James are questionable. Deebo Samuel is on IR after suffering a fracture in his foot, leaving Kendrick Bourne as the top target for Jimmy Garoppolo.

Accordingly, expect a healthy dose of Raheem Mostert against the Jets. Mostert was San Francisco’s only real offensive weapon after Kittle went out last week, and he ended up playing a big role in the passing game. Of Jimmy G’s 19 completions against the Cardinals, 15 went to running backs and tight ends in Week 1.

New York Jets Week 1 Recap

The Jets were blasted out of the gate in Week 1 by the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo took a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter, and it was essentially smooth failing from that point forward for the Bills. Josh Allen had the first 300-yard game of his career, completing 33 of 46 passes for 312 yards and two touchdowns while also leading the Bills with 57 rushing yards and a touchdown.

Gang Green made it respectable in the second half, but Buffalo had already taken its foot off the gas pedal by that point. Sam Darnold had a rather pedestrian day, completing 21 of 35 passes for 215 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and the ground game couldn’t get anything done. The only bright spot was Jamison Crowder with seven receptions for 115 yards and a score, but even he was targeted 13 times on the afternoon.
