Yes, I said it.
Yes, the Jets can contend to be called one of the worst teams in the league despite the possibility they may finish 7-9.
I just think this line has too much value. Why?
Greg McElroy is not, and never will be a starter in the NFL for a 16 game season. The line was Jets +3.5 with him as the named starter. Then they found out he didn't disclose a concussion.
Now Sanchez is starting. And what happened to the line? Nothing. It is still 3.5.
This may very well be Sanchez's last NFL start. Given that, he has been a starter for 4 seasons. In 2 of the 4 he went to the AFC championship behind an extra strong defense. Either he puts up or shuts up tomorrow till trade do he and the Jets part. He's still a legit starting QB with over 60 games as a starter under his belt (and playoff experience). McElroy...not so much.
Rex is on the chopping block as well. As bad as the Jets are, they smoked this team in Week 1 and the Bills have as little to play for as the Jets do so I don't see the Bills being motivated in any way but to pack up and finish the season.
I think that extra half point here is enough to get my money on the Jets.
I'm not happy about taking them but if Vegas takes on all their action against the public so will I.
Simply hoping for a spirited Sanchez outing with limited turnovers and a strong running game (which could be Greene's last game as a Jet as well) to keep this score inside the number. The points will matter here and 3.5 is enough to get me to bite in a game of auditions for the QB and RB (and possibly the head coach).
Betting on Sanchez's last hurrah...
