NFL Betting Preview – Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New York Jets
The Jets have had a bye week to really get their act together. The Patriots did them a favor by handing the Dolphins a loss, but the Jets gave themselves no help by losing both matchups to Miami.

With a game against Jacksonville on the board, at home coming off the bye, New York still has plenty to prove to their betting backers. A 1-4 ATS record and a 2-5 ATS record at home aren’t exactly confidence boosting.
Dirty Sanchez has been the headliner in New York, and though he’s thrown for 1,443 yards and 8 touchdowns, he’s posted 10 picks and his overall rating is an abysmal 67.6. After one of the hottest starts in the league, the Jets have fallen back to mid-pack where they belong. It’s not that Sanchez is terrible; it’s more that he’s a rookie. And while people would love to pile the blame on Thomas Jones, he still has 704 rushing yards (4th in the AFC) and seven touchdowns (2nd in the AFC).
So where does the blame go? I’m not exactly sure if you can call a season where you’re 4-4 SU a wash when you have a rookie head coach, a rookie quarterback, a brand new stud receiver, all sorts of new starters on defense, a new system and a running-back frustrated by the lack of a contract extension. 
The Jets’ front office has made it very difficult for this team to be effective this season, but all that being said I still see them as a legitimate playoff threat. Adding a win over Jacksonville will only bolster those hopes.
Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4) vs. New York Jets (4-4)
Sunday, November 15th — Giants Stadium, New York — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: NYJ -7 (41)
The key to this game is simply stopping MoJo. David Garrard isn’t a winner and certainly isn’t proving that he can push the Jags over the top if MoJo is contained. The Jaguars are 3-2 SU but just 1-4 ATS with four consecutive losses to the betting line in hand.
The Jets are fast, aggressive, hungry and fresh on the defensive side and MoJo is an incredible talent but he can be slowed down. Hey, if he can’t get it done against Kansas City, then what’s he going to do against the boys from New York City?
Free Pick: NYJ -7 (UNDER)
