NFL Schedule: Will the New York Jets win more game than the Vegas projections?
The New York Jets schedule is out. Now, the debate can open on whether the oddsmakers and sports books have it right.
Outlets are rather consistent in their outlook on the Jets not be a playoff team. But the win total is a bit all over the place. BetOnline, for instance, has the Jets favored in just three games with one pick’em. The ActionNetwork lists the Jets win total number at ‘7.’
FanDuel has the projection at ‘6.5.’
SI’s Bill Enright and Kristian Dyer debate whether the Jets go over or under 6.5 wins on the year.
Here are the weekly odds on the season from BetOnline:
Week 1: New York Jets +5½ @ Buffalo Bills
Week 2: San Francisco 49ers @ New York Jets +4
Week 3: New York Jets +7 @ Indianapolis Colts
Week 4: Denver Broncos @ New York Jets (Pick’em)
