The New York Jets have been surprisingly favored in many games this season, despite a disappointing 5-9 record. Public bettors have heavily favored the Jets, driven by the presence of Aaron Rodgers, even in losses. This trend has continued into Week 15, where the Jets are 3-point underdogs against the Los Angeles Rams, a rare occurrence for them this season. The article explores the reasons behind this public support, acknowledging the desire to bet on Rodgers but also pointing to a lack of accountability for the Jets' performance.
One of the biggest mysteries this season for NFL betting has revolved around the number of times the New York Jets have been favored in games.
It’s understandable that public bettors haven’t given up on Rodgers, especially considering who the Jets have played the past seven weeks. New York faced Jacksonville, Miami, Seattle, Indianapolis, Arizona, Houston, and New England. It was favored in six of those seven games. Those were all winnable games against losing teams or lower-level playoff contenders with plenty of concerns.
I can’t get over the bad vibes, though. Making this once again Jets or pass and I’m definitely passing because no one is forcing me to bet on this game. But looking ahead to Wednesday’s Christmas slate, the Circa has the Pittsburgh Steelers as -2 home favorites against the Chiefs. That line might be surprising, but that’s a tough road trip for the Chiefs on a short week with a hobbled star quarterback. I would wait to see if the line shifts for the Steelers to become home dogs. I would definitely be interested in that.
“They’re the walking wounded on defense,” Palm says. “ Hutchinson going down for the year was one thing, but now the whole secondary is getting banged up. But they’re eternal optimists around here. They were all talking about how they needed that loss. They didn’t want to have 13 or 15 straight wins going into the playoffs, so they always find a positive spin on it.”Expect the 49ers to take out all of their frustrations on the Miami Dolphins.
