🏈 NFL PLAY # 3 — JETS ML (-117) 1 UNIT | NOVIG Line shopped this one and found the best price at -117 on Novig. Neither team has had much to celebrate this season, but I think this is a good spot for New York at home. The Raiders come in having lost four straight, and their defense has been a major problem. They’re allowing 373.7 yards and 28.1 points per game, while giving up over 143 rushing yards per contest. That’s a favorable matchup for a Jets offense that has started to show some life. Geno Smith also gets a revenge game against the team that traded him this offseason. After throwing 17 interceptions with Vegas last year, he’s turned things around in New York, completing 70% of his passes with 10 TDs and just 2 INTs. And don’t overlook the Jets defense. They’re allowing just 187.7 passing yards per game, ranking 5th in the NFL. That’s a significant advantage against a Raiders offense that’s struggled to establish any consistent running game. New York’s 2-5 record isn’t pretty, but four of those five losses have been decided by one possession. They’ve been more competitive than their record suggests. I expect New York to lean on the ground game, take advantage of a vulnerable Raiders defense, and make Vegas one-dimensional offensively. Not calling the Jets a powerhouse by any means, but I like the matchup, the home field, and the price. Jets ML (-117) — 1 Unit. 🏈 #NFL #Jets #Raiders #Sports
