The Jets have been underdogs throughout the 2021 season and rightfully so. New York is dead last in the AFC East and has one of the younger rosters in the NFL. Progress, not wins, was always going to be the way the first season of the Robert Saleh era is evaluated.

The odds are finally in Gang Green’s favor entering Week 16. Tipico Sportsbook lists the Jets as 1.5-point favorites over the 2-12 Jaguars, who have not won a game since the first weekend of November. Both teams are dealing with COVID issues and injuries ahead of Sunday, but oddsmakers are giving New York a slight upper hand.

The Jets are -115 (bet $115 to win $100) to cover their end of the spread, while the Jaguars are -105 (bet $105 to win $100). The over/under is 41.5. New York’s money line is -125 (bet $125 to win $100). Jacksonville’s is +102 (bet $100 to win $102).
