New York Jets’ 2020 win total: Best bet
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Tuesday, Aug. 11 at 8:45 a.m. ET.
Projected wins: 6.5 / OVER: -106 / UNDER: -115
The Jets were better than most believed because of their defense. Darnold has to take another step in his development, but head coach Adam Gase is not the guy to bring that out of him. That said, the line is tough because they are a six or seven-win team likely. The division got a little weaker with quarterback Tom Brady moving on to Tampa. It’s not a confident pick, but go with the OVER 6.5 WINS (-106).
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Over will profit $9.43 if the Jets win at least seven games.
Exact season wins: Bands
0-4 wins: +525
5-8 wins: -323
9-12 wins: +425
13-16 wins: +8000
This is easy. They shouldn’t be awful with their defense. They won’t be good. That’s why you won’t win much money in this wager. But it is a pretty sure thing. Take 5-8 WINS (-323).
Exact wins: Best bet
Both six wins and seven wins are the favorites, both at +280. The Jets are curious enough that I would hedge. Go with bets on both six and seven wins. If you hit on one, you still come ahead +140.
