New York Jets Betting

The New York Jets were without a doubt one of the more disappointing teams over the course of the 2019-20 NFL betting season at online sportsbooks. With all the moves made in the offseason to turn the franchise around from the hiring of Adam Gase and a new coaching staff to signing both Le’Veon Bell and CJ Mosley, absolutely nothing came to pass in another season that saw New York finish third in the final AFC East standings. While a three-win improvement was made from the year prior, the Jets were still unable to reach linemakers expectations by failing to surpass their 7.5-game season win total odds. It’s highly likely those losses to the Jaguars, Dolphins and Bengals still have over bettors pulling what’s left of their hair out!

Season Recap

Jets fans knew a long season was ahead after the team dropped a sickening 17-16 decision to the division rival Bills at home in Week 1 even though it held a 13-point lead with just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. That was then followed up with double-digit defeats to the Browns, Patriots and Eagles. Granted, the losses to New England and Philadelphia didn’t have Sam Darnold under center due to a bout of mononucleosis. He returned and shined in the Week 6 outright home win and cover against the Dallas Cowboys, but the joy of that defeat quickly turned sour after the Jets went on to drop three straight games to the Pats, Jags and Dolphins which proved to be Miami’s first win of the season.

New York would then go on to win three straight against the Giants, Redskins and Raiders to tease those that hit the over on their season win total, but the Week 13 loss at Cincinnati ultimately proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. The Jets did go on to close the season out with wins in three of their final four games avenging the loss to the Dolphins and handing a crushing blow to the Pittsburgh Steelers playoff chances. Lamar Jackson lit them up for 5 TD passes on Thursday Night Football to allow for the Ravens to earn the impressive 42-21 triumph as 17-point favorites and hand them their ninth loss of the season, but the season closed out with a 16-10 victory by defeating a Bills time resting numerous starters on both sides of the ball to even up the season rivalry.

Had the Jets played the first half of their season like they played the second half, they would’ve lived up to preseason expectations. While it didn’t happen, it would be pretty shocking to see GM Joe Douglas make much of any changes to the coaching staff due to the way the team closed out the year. Still, there is much to be decided in terms of personnel so it will be interesting to see what the Jets do to take another step forward.

2020 Season Preview

New York looks to be in great shape on the defensive side of the ball with the stop unit ranking No. 7 overall in allowing just over 323 yards per game. It also boasted one of the best run defenses the league had to offer with it shutting opposing ground attacks to the tune of just 86.9 yards per game (No. 2) and a miniscule 3.3 yards per carry which tied the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the best mark in the NFL. Though the pass defense was nothing short of league average, it looks to be on the up and up with Jamal Adams distinguishing himself as one of the premiere young safeties in the game.

The problems lie on the offensive side of the ball where New York struggled to run (No. 31) and pass (No. 29) the pigskin consistently and effectively. On top of that, the offensive line was once again a sieve in allowing Jets quarterbacks to get thrown to the turf 52 freaking times. Only the Titans, Panthers and Dolphins conceded more sacks. With that, it would behoove the Jets to target a hog and go after him with reckless abandon with the eleventh pick in the upcoming draft. Should they decide not to resign Robbie Anderson, they should also look at some receiving help with the current corps a bit long in the tooth.
