Jets Need That “Bounceback” Effort Against Jags
The New York Jets might be a little deflated after having lost of their last two games, as they have a lot of ground to make up in the AFC East race, but there are wild-card spots to be contested for, so as they reach the halfway point, it might be a little encouraging to have the Jacksonville Jaguars in front of them. And it also makes them happy to return back to MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands for this 1 PM ET contest. Vietbet customers will no doubt be ecstatic, because even after they have used reduced juice on their pre-game wagering, they can also test themselves against the NFL betting odds as the game is in progress, through the magic of Live Betting Extra.
Jaguars vs Jets – Vietbet NFL Betting Line
In the NFL betting lines as they have been established by the people at Vietbet, the Jets are favored by slightly more than a touchdown:
- New York Jets -7.5 (-105)
- Jacksonville Jaguars +7.5 (-115)
- Over 42.5 points -110
- Under 42.5 points -110
The Jets won four of their first five games, and they had very high hopes going into Foxboro for a date with the New England Patriots. Alas, they did not make the grade, as they blew a fourth-quarter lead against Tom Brady and his mates. Last week they went out west to face the Oakland Raiders and looked very flat, allowing Derek Carr to throw for 333 yards in a 34-20 defeat. Those football bettors watch the game saw a pathetic display of tackling, and there is no question that first-year coach Todd Bowles is cracking the whip in practice.

Unusually enough, Jacksonville, coming off a victory in London over Buffalo, is off to its best start in the last five seasons. They are only 2-5 straight-up (3-4 ATS), but that represents progress for coach Gus Bradley. Whether it is enough for him to keep his job at season’s end is another matter. There is still a lot of football to play, and there is plenty of upside to quarterback Blake Bortles, who has 15 touchdown passes on the season. He showed a lot of poise in putting together the game-winning drive against the Bills, culminating with the 31-yard touchdown pass to Allen Hurns. And after there were reports that he might not play, TJ Yeldon, the rookie running back out of Alabama, had 115 yards. If he can stay healthy, he can really help Jacksonville solve what has been a very difficult problem for them since the departure of Maurice Jones-Drew.

Vietbet patrons know that the Jets have some banged-up quarterbacks. Ryan Fitzpatrick tore a ligament in his left thumb while running with the football, and he had to be removed in favor of Geno Smith, who if you remember had his jaw broken in a locker room incident during training camp. Smith then bruised his left shoulder, so there were questions as to New York was going to go with at the QB spot. Well, it looks like it is going to be Fitzpatrick, who will have to have surgery sooner or later on the thumb but is a better alternative than Smith at this point in time.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall got banged up also last week, but he is expected to play. And we would imagine it’s a pretty good bet that the defense will come with some more intensity. For most of the season, the Jets were best in the NFL in yards and points allowed per drive, but now they are down to the #6 position. On the positive note, they are forcing opponents into a three-and-out situation 31.2% of the time. That might actually be a pretty good elixir against the Jaguars, who are only 35.5% successful on third-down.
