Why Bet on the New York Jets?

In recent games, the Jets’ offense has been a disaster. NYJ scored 17 versus Detroit in a loss.

Then the Jets followed up that dismal performance by scoring 3 against the Jaguars in a home loss. The problem the Jets have had is at the quarterback position where Mike White played hurt before taking a seat versus Jacksonville.

White is healthy enough to get the start on Sunday. When White plays, the offense performs well. The Jets’ starting signal-caller threw for 369 yards against the Vikings in a 5-point loss earlier in the season.

No doubt, the Jets’ strength is on the defensive side of the ball. NYJ ranks third in yards allowed per game at 309.3.

Opponents average a paltry 195.5 passing yards each contest. Teams score 18.8 each game versus the Jets.

Quinnen Williams has 11 sacks. Lamarcus Joyner has secured 3 interceptions. Overall, the defense has produced 16 takeaways.

Why Bet on the Seattle Seahawks?

On paper, the Seahawks average over 24 points per game. But lately, the O has struggled. San Francisco held Seattle to 13 points in a 13-21 Seattle loss. Then in their next game, the Seahawks could muster just 10 points in a 24-10 defeat to Kansas City.

Geno Smith has had a decent season. When Smith is on, he completes over 70% of his passes. Rookie running back Kenneth Walker III has rushed for 9 touchdowns and over 800 yards.

Seattle’s D ranks twenty-ninth in yards allowed per game, 373.4. Opponents average over 25 points each contest against the Seahawks.

The defense allows 155 rushing yards each game. Tariq Woolen has played great with 6 interceptions.

Jets vs. Seahawks Betting Trends

• Jets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss.
• NYJ is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games on the road.
• Under is 6-1 in NYJ’s last 7 games after a straight up loss of more than 14 points.
• Seahawks are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games.
• Seattle is 0-4 ATS versus a team with a losing record.
• Over is 4-1 in Seattle’s last 5 versus a team with a losing record.

Jets vs. Seahawks Expert Betting Predictions

Sometimes, the best we can do is follow the trends. There isn’t enough of a difference between these two teams to make a play based on stats or recent form.

Case in point? The Seahawks are 0-6 ATS in their last 6. The Jets are 1-3 ATS in their last 4. Not only that, but neither team’s offense is playing well.

The Jets have an edge on defense. But this happens at Lumens Field where the twelfth man will be screaming its collective head off.

What we’re left with are incredibly strong trends on the slight chalk and terrible trends for the home squad. Also, the Jets best quarterback returns to the field.

Mike White should at least move the football, which means NYJ will be in a position to win this game. The Jets get the nod to cover the spread.
