If I was a betting man I’d take the Jets to cover the spread. Seems like any time that a teams comes in as a huge underdog like this, they tend to cover the spread. Most NFL games are still in doubt going into the 4th quarter because the talent levels are much closer than they are in college football. [Reply]

Guessing that most people will bet on the Jets to cover. If enough $$ goes that way this week, the spread will start to shrink some, maybe down to 18 or so.
But to bet on the Chiefs to cover @-20.5 and win would be epic.
So I did it. $200 on the Chiefs, because either way it's going to be a great story. [Reply]
The Jets really, really struggle to score points. The last 3 weeks they have a grand total combined 20 points. They've only had one game where they scored above 17, and that one involved a Broncos rookie QB throwing 3 INTs including a Pick-6.
Jets are chasing the all-time record for worst point differential this year. So far the spreads of their losses have been: 10, 18, 29, 9, 20, 24, 8
Through 7 weeks they've already lost by 20+ on 3 occasions. This team is historically bad and really might break the negative point differential record currently held by the 1976 Buccaneers. [Reply]
