Oddsmakers expect more losing for Jets in 2020

Caesars Sportsbook released its NFL odds for the 2020 season and don’t see much improvement for the Jets, having them at over/under 6.5 wins

Caesars Sportsbook has revealed updated over/under win totals for every NFL team. Things are not looking so good for the Jets there, as the sportsbook has them set New York’s over/under at 6.5 victories in 2020.

After a promising 7-9 finish for Gang Green in 2019 — despite a 1-7 start — the oddsmakers expect more of the same for the Jets in 2020. The Dolphins, Bengals and Jaguars are the only remaining AFC teams that are expected to have a lower win total than the Jets in 2020.

The Ravens and Chiefs share the AFC’s highest total, with both pegged at 12 wins. Staying in the division, the Bills (9) and Patriots (8.5) are being held to a higher standard with oddsmakers feeling better about Buffalo’s chances to win the AFC East due to the departure of Tom Brady. Just below the Jets are the Dolphins (6), but with three first-round picks in next week’s draft, they can surely make up some ground.

It’s not surprising that Las Vegas’ oddsmakers are so low on the Jets’ chances of improving their win total from a year ago. In 2020, the Jets will play the AFC and NFC West, which includes last year’s Super Bowl teams, the Chiefs and 49ers.

On paper, the Jets have one of the more difficult schedules and, besides upgrading their interior offensive line, they haven’t done much to close the gap on their opponents. The team’s inconsistent results during the 2019 season were also a determining factor.

Just a week away from the draft, the Jets have a chance to bring in impact starters to compete for a wild card spot. However, they’ll have to prove themselves on the field before Vegas budges on its over/under win total.

Oddsmakers don’t see Jets winning many games in 2020

Odds makers believe another 7-9 season would be a win for NY Jets.

After a disappointing start to the 2019 season, Gang Green rallied to come up one win short of five-hundred.

Despite a three-win increase from the year prior, oddsmakers aren’t expecting another uptick in 2020.

BetOnline released its over/under win totals for every AFC team next season. Tied with the second-worst mark in the conference are the Jets at 6.5 wins.

New York shares that number with Jacksonville, with only two teams pegged at a lower total. Both Cincinnati and Miami are tied for an AFC-worst 5.5 wins in 2020. Staying in the division, the Patriots (10.5) and Bills (8.5) are being held to a higher standard.

The over/under totals are greater than 10.5 wins for just two AFC franchises. The defending champion Chiefs boast the highest total of 11.5 wins, with Baltimore close behind at 11.

The five best totals in the AFC belong to Kansas City, Baltimore, New England, Pittsburgh (9) and Buffalo.

On the opposite end, the fifth-worst totals belong to the Raiders (7), followed by the Jaguars, Jets, Bengals and Dolphins.

Oddsmakers don’t recommend picking Jets to win Super Bowl LV

Jets fans shouldn’t get their hopes up for a Super Bowl in 2020, according to oddsmakers.

One day removed from the Super Bowl oddsmakers are already looking ahead to next year’s big game. They don’t think the Jets should be, however.

New York Jets was forced to watch from afar Sunday as the Chiefs hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in Miami. Now, just one day after Super Bowl LIV, NFL franchises aren’t the only ones scurrying to hit the reset button.

BetMGM released its preliminary odds for the winners of Super Bowl LV on Monday. In unsurprising news, oddsmakers are not ready to put their faith in Gang Green just yet.

New York is tied for the third-worst odds in the NFL at +8000 entering the offseason. Sharing identical fortunes are the Cardinals, Lions, Jaguars and Giants.

The Jets aren’t the only AFC East team to face an uphill battle, though. Miami is tied for the second-worst odds with the Cincinnati Bengals at +10000. The worst odds to headline the offseason? The Washington Redskins at +15000.

Gang Green’s remaining division rivals aren’t entering next year with the same question marks and holes to fill. As a result, the Patriots (+1100) and Bills (+3500) benefit from more favorable odds.

Still, the reigning champs don’t just have this year’s Lombardi to brag about. Kansas City also holds the best odds to win it all again next year at +650.

To round out the top-five, the Chiefs are followed by the Ravens (+700), 49ers (+1000), Patriots (+1100) and Saints (+1200) with the best odds to become Super Bowl champs next season.

Jets are underdogs in season finale against Bills

The Jets are -1.5 underdogs against the Bills in the season finale.

The hope for the New York Jets was to play meaningful games in the month of December, but that will not be the case on Sunday against the Bills.

The Jets have been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention for a few weeks now. As for the Bills, they’ll be playing football in January, but they are locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC. Essentially, this game means nothing for either team.

New York is listed as a a 1.5-point underdog against the Bills, according to BetMGM. Meanwhile, the Jets are -106 against the spread and +110 in the money line on the road.

Buffalo is -1.5-point favorites and are -115 against the spread. They are -134 in the money line.

The over/under is set at 36.5 with the over at -106 and the under at -115. The last time these teams met back in Week 1 they combined for 33 total points.

The tricky part with picking this game is that you don’t know how long the Bills will keep their starters in the game. Sean McDermott has already said the starters will play in the game, but the backups are expected to see some action too.

The Jets will have everyone who is healthy as they look to even up the season series after falling in the first game at MetLife Stadium.

Jets are underdogs in Le’Veon Bell’s first meeting against Steelers

Jets seated as underdogs in Le’Veon Bell’s first meeting against the Steelers

Fans and media alike had this game circled on their calendars well before Week 1. How would Le’Veon Bell perform in his first game against his former team, the Pittsburgh Steelers?

If the oddsmakers have any say in the matter, not well enough. But, it may be closer than expected.

Gang Green is currently seated as a slight 2.5-point underdog, per BetMGM. They are +105 in the spread, possess a money line of +125 and will have the benefit of playing on their home turf.

Pittsburgh, as 2.5-point favorites, are -125 against the spread and have a money line of -154.

The over/under is set at 38.5 points, with the lines resting at -115 for the over and -106 with the under. The last time these two met, they combined for 44 points in a Steelers win at home in 2016.

The Steelers hold a steep advantage over the Jets all-time. Pittsburgh is 20-5-0 and has seen the likes of a nine-game win streak to begin the series.

New York is seated in third place of the AFC East at 5-9 entering this weekend. The Steelers are second in the AFC North at 8-6.

These two teams will meet at MetLife Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. in what might be a revenge game for the Jets’ star running back. While that may be the case, oddsmakers suggest he might not experience the outcome he’s been anticipating.

Jets favored in redemption game vs. Dolphins

As it stands the Jets are slated as 5.5-point favorites heading into Sunday, per BetMGM.

The last time the Jets faced Miami, they were beaten by an AFC East rival that had yet to record a win. This time, New York owns the home field advantage and oddsmakers have indicated that’s all the insurance they need.

New York is coming off a head-scratching loss to the Bengals. Like the Dolphins earlier this year, Cincinnatti was winless before playing the Jets.

Miami, however, is coming off an impressive victory over the Eagles in Week 13. The Dolphins’ 37-31 upset was still not enough to earn them the betting nod this week against a team they have already defeated, though.

As it stands the Jets are slated as 5.5-point favorites heading into Sunday, per BetMGM. Gang Green holds a money line of -239, sits at -110 in the spread and the over-under is set at 44.5 total points.

Miami, as 5.5-point underdogs, possesses a money line of +195 and is -110 against the spread.

Oddsmakers seem to believe Sunday’s AFC East rivalry won’t be a display of offensive genius, as the under is favored at -121.

As to where each team sits in the division, the Jets are third with a 4-8 record. The Dolphins are close behind at 3-9 after losing their first seven contests.

Gang Green will host Miami on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. and, if the odds indicate anything, the two will be splitting this season’s share of matchups.

Oddsmakers flip the script by choosing Jets as favorites over Bengals

After a dominating performance against the Raiders on Sunday, odds makers are willing to roll with Gang Green in Week 13.

New York has won three straight to improve to 4-7 on the season. After a dominating performance against the Raiders on Sunday, oddsmakers are now willing to roll with Gang Green in Week 13.

The Jets will travel to Cincinnati this week as 3.5-point favorites, per BetMGM. Despite a 34-3 win last week, oddsmakers are only favoring New York by a narrow margin against an 0-11 Bengals team.

Still, the Jets are -186 in the money line, -115 against the spread and the greater odds sit with the over, set at 39.5 total points.

The Bengals, as 3.5-point underdogs, sit at +155 in the money line, -106 against the spread and hold the advantage of playing at home on Sunday.

The last time these two teams met was in September 2016, when the Jets lost on favorable territory, 23-22. However, New York has gotten the better of the Bengals all-time. The series currently sits at 17-9-0 by way of gang Green.

Still, the Jets have dropped their last two meetings with Cincinnati. They’ll take the field at 1 p.m. on Sunday with hopes of flipping the script yet again.

Oddsmakers pick Washington over Jets in D.C.

Gang Green is preparing to travel to the nation’s capital this week but will have to do so as underdogs.

New York improved to 2-7 on the season after Sunday’s win against the Giants. Still, oddsmakers are giving the nod — ever so slightly — to Big Blue’s NFC East rival in this Week 11 meeting with the Jets.

Gang Green will travel to the nation’s capital this week as underdogs. The Jets are currently seated at +1.5 points in the spread, according to BetMGM. This comes as somewhat of a surprise, as Washington holds a 1-8 record and sits dead-last in its division.

Still, the Jets are -106 in the money line, -115 against the spread and the greater odds sit with the over, set at 37.5 total points.

The Redskins, as 1.5-point favorites, sit at -115 in the money line, -106 against the spread and hold the advantage of playing at home on Sunday.

The last time these two teams met was in October 2015, when the Jets defended home turf with a 34-20 victory. In fact, New York has gotten the better of Washington in the last two meetings. The second came in 2011 with a 34-19 win at Washington.

That, however, is where the good news stops. All time, the Jets are 3-8 when facing the Redskins. The total points have favored the opposition by way of 248-192, leaving Washington as clear winners of the 11 matchups.

These representatives of the AFC and NFC East will meet this Sunday at 1 p.m. in Washington. While oddsmakers suggest it will be close, they also lack the confidence to see a future where the Jets take home a second-straight win.
