Why bet on the Jets?
The Jets are trying to pick up the pace of their season, as they have lost five matches in a row and six in total, only winning twice, and the team is looking to switch things around as they host the upcoming game. Building their project around a veteran like Rodgers is not working.
Last time, the QB completed 17 passes for 2 TDs, not bad, but the team has the tenth-worst offense in the league and often struggles to surpass the 20-point mark. New York has failed to cover the past five outings too, while the Over is on a 3-0 run.
The Jets won the most recent meeting 30-6 on Dec. 10, 2023. Texans QB C.J. Stroud went just 10-of-23 for 91 yards with no touchdowns, and he was sacked 4 times before giving way to QB Davis Mills.
Why bet on the Texans?
The Houston Texans are the flip side of the coin heading to this game, winning six matches and losing two, with a perfect record at home but a split 2-2 on the road for the NFL.
The Texans certainly weren’t pretty, but they got the job done 23-20 at home against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8, although they failed to cover as a 4.5-point favorite. That snapped a 3-0 against the spread (ATS) run. The Under (45) cashed, and it is now 6-1 in the past seven games.
C. J. Stroud didn’t have his best game with a single TD pass, but he still got close to 300 aerial yards.
The last time the Texans were victorious in this series was 29-22 in the Meadowlands on Dec. 15, 2018.
Final Betting Analysis: Jets vs. Texans
The Texans are playing better football and are coming off a close win over Indianapolis, giving them four victories in the last five outings.Â
The overall public sentiment is absolutely leaning toward Houston, hence the spread jumping the fence, and will continue to all week as the media has a field day shitting on Aaron Rodgers & Co.
But the schedule is working against Houston on Thursday, with this being the team’s third road match in a four-game, 18-day window. The Texans don’t have great memories of MetLife Stadium, either.Â
We’re not rushing to trust Gang Green. However, the situation suits New York, so we’ll lean towards them to take the victory at the UNDER.
Go for a win for the locals at 1.943. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $94.3 for a total payout of $194.3.
