The Jets defeated Buffalo 26-17 on Sunday to cover the spread for sports betting enthusiasts as a 5-point underdog as veteran quarterback Brett Favre passed completed 19 of 28 passes for 201 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. Running back Thomas Jones added 69 rushing yards on 12 carries with one touchdown.
The Rams were routed by the Arizona Cardinals 34-13 as a 3-point home underdog in Week 9, their second straight loss under new head coach Jim Haslett.
Quarterback Marc Bulger had two touchdowns and two interceptions while completing 16 of 33 passes for 186 yards. Running back Steven Jackson was held to just 17 rushing yards on seven carries.
The Rams allowed Cardinals’ quarterback Kurt Warner to complete 23 of 34 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns and explosive running back Tim Hightower to rush for 109 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries.

Analysis: I know the Rams have been playing some mediocre football recently, but something tells me they are going to cover the spread in this contest. While New York has won two straight, neither victory has been in double digits.
The Jets get the win here, but the cover goes to the Rams in a contest that narrowly goes over the spread.
