New York Jets NFL Betting

The New York Jets had a golden opportunity to break a 12-year playoff drought at the start of December. The Jets were 7-4, and they needed just two more wins to guarantee themselves a winning season. However, that was right when their schedule got the most difficult, and Gang Green faltered under the pressure. They lost six straight games to close out the season, and their offense absolutely collapsed down the stretch, averaging just 11 PPG in those losses. The Jets finished the year 7-10, and they have the 13th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

New York Jets 2022 Season Recap

If the New York Jets had even a decent quarterback, this team could be a Super Bowl contender. Robert Saleh oversaw one of the league’s best defenses in 2022, and the Jets have the potential to be even better on this side of the ball in 2023.

Unfortunately, it’s already become clear that Zach Wilson is not the answer under center for this franchise. Wilson was selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he had a bad rookie season and showed no real improvement in his second year despite having a much better supporting cast. He completed just 54.5% of his passes for 1,688 yards (7.0 YPA) with six touchdowns and seven interceptions, and he was sacked 23 times in nine games.

Veteran Joe Flacco wasn’t much better, completing 57.6% of his passes for 1,051 yards (5.5 YPA) with five touchdowns and three interceptions. That led to a lot of lofty expectations being placed on Mike White, and while he had a couple good outings, he completed only 58.9% of his passes for 1,192 yards (6.8 YPA) with three touchdowns and four interceptions.

Through the first half of the season, Breece Hall was an odds-on favorite to be named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. The second-round pick out of Iowa State ran for 463 yards and four touchdowns while averaging 5.8 YPC in his first seven games, but then he suffered a season-ending injury. Michael Carter and Zonovan Knight weren’t nearly as effective with both Carter and Knight averaging just 3.5 YPC, and that made the Jets inept on offense.

By the end of the season, the Jets averaged 17.4 PPG (29th in the NFL) and 318.2 YPG (25th in the NFL). However, you can put the woes of this offense on the inability of the front office to find a quality quarterback. Hall shined while he was on the field, and the receiving corps was very good. Rookie Garrett Wilson looks like a star in the making after catching 83 passes for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns despite not having an accurate signal caller. Additionally, tight end Tyler Conklin had a breakout season with 58 receptions for 552 yards and three touchdowns, and Corey Davis and Elijah Moore were solid options too.

The Jets had one of the best defenses in the NFL this season. They ranked fourth in scoring defense (18.6 PPG), fourth in total defense (311.1 YPG), and second in yards per play (4.8 YPP). Gang Green had one Pro Bowler at every level of the defense too.

Quinnen Williams was the Pro Bowl pick along the defensive line after a season where he recorded 12 sacks from the defensive tackle position. Williams was able to constantly get pressure on the quarterback, freeing up pass rushers elsewhere up front.

After two years of getting virtually nothing out of C.J. Mosley, the former Baltimore Raven made it back to the Pro Bowl after leading the team with 158 tackles. Mosley thrived in his familiar role, and he also had five tackles for loss and seven passes defensed.

The secondary was the most impressive unit on the defense, and this could be the best secondary in the NFL in 2023. Sauce Gardner was a Pro Bowl pick as a rookie and is currently the odds-on favorite to be named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year with a league-high 20 passes defensed. Gardner thrived alongside D.J. Reed, Jordan Whitehead, and LaMarcus Joyner, and opposing quarterbacks will not like facing this team next season.

New York Jets Past Seasons (2000)

The New York Jets were founded as charter members of the American Football League. They were known as the Titans for their first three seasons and were an embarrassment. The Titans played before “fans dressed up as empty seats” at the old dilapidated Polo Grounds. But in 1963, the Titans were purchased by entertainment executive Sony Werblin, who rebranded them as the Jets.

Werblin’s show business background gave him an appreciation for star power. That led to Alabama quarterback Joe Namath getting the largest contract in history, at that time, in 1965. Namath and the Jets became the biggest show in town at Shea Stadium. New York made Super Bowl III and history when they beat the Baltimore Colts 16-3 as 18.5-point dogs. Namath guaranteed victory before the game and delivered.

To this day, that is the high point in the franchise's history. The last playoff appearance for the Jets was in 2010.
