New York Jets Odds to Win Super Bowl LIV

The New York Jets will be chomping at the bit to get onto the gridiron in Week 2 for a number of reasons. The first, they pissed away a 16-0 lead in the fourth quarter of last week’s home game against the Buffalo Bills. That in and of itself should make you want to get back to work immediately, but the added bonus of avenging last year’s loss to the Cleveland Browns in Baker Mayfield’s coming out party only makes it that much sweeter. Adam Gase’s troops will get a chance to exorcise the demons from that debilitating defeat in front of a nationally televised audience when the teams collide in ESPN’s Monday Night Football telecast.

New York Jets Week 2 Preview

The New York Jets won the turnover battle 4-1 and held a 4+ minute advantage in time of possession. On top of that, the defense didn’t allow Buffalo to score its first points of the game until late in the third quarter. Even so, in the most Jets-esque kind of ways, they lost the game and with it dropped a huge game to a division rival that would’ve gotten the Adam Gase era off to a tremendous start. It all boiled down to the offense failing to take advantage of the opportunities the defense presented them with; especially in the first half when Bills quarterback Josh Allen was seemingly handing them the game on a silver platter due to a plethora of miscues that resulted in turnovers.

Unfortunately, the offense was able to do very little with the charity going three and out numerous times. As bad Cleveland looked in its home debut, linemakers still have it pegged to hand the Jets a second straight defeat. The Browns originally hit the betting board at online sportsbooks as 2.5-point favorites, and that’s where the number to beat still resides 24 hours after opening to the betting markets. However, early reports find an obnoxious 82 percent of the action in support of Freddie Kitchens and company bouncing back from last week’s travesty against the Titans. There must be some real sharp players backing the Jets for the line not to have moved as exposed online sportsbooks currently are at that number.

Same goes for the total which has actually fallen a point to 45 even though better than 80 percent of the handle to this point expects a high scorer to play out in the Week 2 concluder.

As bad these teams have been in recent seasons, it comes as no surprise to see them locking horns with one another for the fifth straight season regardless of situating themselves in different divisions. As already stated, the Browns won last year’s meeting and did so in a covering fashion. The triumph snapped a string of five straight SU and ATS defeats to the Jets. The under cashed last season for the second straight time to move it to 3-3 in the last six meetings dating back to 2010. The Jets went 1-4 SU and ATS as home dogs last season with the over cashing in four of those matchups.

New York Jets Week 1 Recap

To put it in perspective as to how bad the Sam Darnold led offense was, the defense ended up scoring just as many points as the offense! This was done by way of a pick-six and safety tallied in the first and third quarters. When the dust cleared on the shocking 17-16 defeat, New York was outgained 370-223 with only 68 yards gained on the ground. Though Le’Veon Bell combined for 92 yards from scrimmage and a score, he was largely held in check. Kaare Vedvik’s missed field goal and extra point also didn’t help matters.

"We were just inept on offense," Gase said after the game, via SNY.com. "Making mistakes that you can't make to consistently move the ball."

I think the head coach needs to look at himself in the mirror and answer why he simply refused to give the ball to his $52.5 million dollar running back. To own a 16 point lead on your own turf and not look to salt the game away via the run is simply inexcusable. Bell got a total of 16 carries, while second-year quarterback Sam Darnold threw the ball 41 times – that makes no sense! Especially with Darnold under constant duress and being sacked four times due to the porous offensive line in front of him.

It all amounted to the Jets blowing their biggest lead at home since the 2002 season. Their failure to cover the closing NFL betting lines was no doubt tough for their supporters to swallow. If the offensive issues aren’t rectified quickly, the season can quickly spiral out of control with the Browns, Patriots, Eagles, Cowboys and Patriots the team’s next five opponents.

Past New York Jets Seasons

The greatest moment in franchise history took place a half century ago. That’s how bad things have been for the Jets. An original member of the American Football League, the team began play as the Titans of New York, but struggles on the field and at the box office forced an ownership change and with it came a rebranding. The team started playing its home games at Shea Stadium, which is near LaGuardia Airport, and the team adopted its current nickname.

In 1968 the Jets posted their first winning season and defeated Oakland in the AFL Championship Game, earning the right to play Baltimore in Super Bowl III. The Jets were an 18-point underdog in that game, but Joe Namath predicted a victory and delivered. The Jets became the first AFL team to win a Super Bowl, bringing much needed credibility to the league ahead of the 1970 merger with the NFL.

Mediocrity ensued. The Jets reached the playoffs in the final season before the league’s merged and then didn’t reach the postseason for the first time as a NFL team until 1981. They got their first NFL playoff victory the next season, beating Cincinnati in a wild card game and advancing to the AFC Championship. The team has never qualified for the postseason in three straight seasons and hasn’t been to the playoffs since back-to-back AFC title game appearances in 2009 and 2010.

Namath is still the franchise’s passing leader and he hasn’t played since 1976. The quarterback position has been a wasteland and the club is banking on Darnold being around for a few years. He ranks 17th in career passing yards after one season and will crack the Jets’ top-10 if he duplicates his performance from 2018.
