The Jets have been playing much better football than many expected at this juncture of the season. The unfortunate part is that they run up against a Panthers team that’s starting to heat up on both sides of the ball. Lay the points.
It might surprise you, but the Jets are still in the playoff hunt. The Panthers are rolling but they've got a huge NFC South showdown at New Orleans on deck. Take the points with the Jets, who are 5-0 ATS as a home dog this year with three outright wins.
The Jets have been 'dogs of more than three points in all five of their home games this season. They've covered all of them, including winning three outright. When are we going to learn that this is too many points to give this team at home? Apparently not this week, with a Carolina team that'll still be missing key lineman Ryan Kalil coming to town. Though the Panthers are 4-1 on the road, the only time they've won by more than three in a road game since Week 1 was against a struggling Bucs team. The Jets have played well enough to expect this game to be close.
The Panthers exploded on national TV against the Dolphins, but that doesn't mean they're an offensive juggernaut. I see them struggling offensively in the Meadowlands winds, and give the Jets a tremendous chance at the outright upset. In my simulations, the Jets are covering 63 percent of the time. Take the points before this line falls further.
