I sat back and waited as this line grew and grew, and I think it has hit a high point so we'll jump now (will probably buy to 17 just to be safe). Yep, the Jets stink and have several key injuries, but I'll always take this many points in an NFL game. The vast majority of the time, teams that are more than two TD underdogs cover. New York has been playing pretty solid of late.
With the Jets possibly missing their primary two WRs, the line has crept above 14. That makes the winless visitors a valid risk, given the effort they have exhibited lately. Three of the past four defeats were by three to the Patriots, six to the Chargers and three to the Raiders in an excruciating ending. Seattle’s offense has backslid, with the 12-point output against the Giants last Sunday a nadir, and giving more than two TDs is excessive. In their last five gigs, the ‘Hawks have covered once.
The Jets nearly pulled off the shocker last week. Meanwhile, the Seahawks are coming off of a shocking loss to the Giants, one in which the Seattle offense couldn't find its footing. That was the wakeup call the Seahawks needed, and they will look to take their offensive frustration out on the Jets.
