Over/Under 6 1/2 wins for the Jets this year?

[Green Ghost]

Like the title says… Over or Under 6 1/2 wins this year for the NYJ.
Offense is looking improved, the defense is very young. New HC and CS, along with what looks like a promising rookie QB.
The schedule seems favorable, but in the NFL, looking ahead with the schedule can be fools gold. What looks a gimme might end up difficult, and vice versa. Because of that, I’m going to look at our schedule this way…

9 home games

1 neutral site

7 road games

Cast a vote and let us know why you went the way you did…

[Gibby]

Sticking to my original prediction.

6-11 but now an entertaining watch. Never unprepared or blown off the field.

[FidelioJet]

This is a 4 to 5 win team right now.

[Joe W. Namath]

10-7 and a playoff spot

[GreenFish]

6.5 is tough because I view us as a 6 to 7 win team. I’ll take the under. 6-11 seems about right for us. 

[FidelioJet]

We will see flashes of brilliance from ZW - but they're just too young and too new to the systems -  and will have to learn how to win. 

This is a team that can win 5 games this year and 12 next...

This.

 It’s not a good bet either way.  The Jets starting groups have enough talent to go 8-9 if a few things break their way.  But their glaring lack of depth and propensity for injuries during a 17 game season could easily drop them to 5-12 or worse.

The AFCE opponents have good defenses and good coaches.  

[UntouchableCrew]

6.5 is a tough number.

If it were 6 I'd take the over with the push insurance as I think 6-11 feels like it's probably the right number. 

If I were doing a pick 'em I'd take the over but this is not a number I'd bet.

#1, it's hard because so many young players on offense are hurt/ barely playing.

#2, JD spent a lot of resources on the O, adding a WR in FA, draft picks, O lineman via premium picks.  All of this I agree with.  Consequently, the defense is going to be awful, and they have lost premium defensive players already.

#3. NE will be better again, the Bills are a good football team, and I think Miami is going to be a good football team, meaning we go 1-5 in the division at best.

Sounds like I picked the perfect number…

[RoadFan]

I like the Vikings to go over 9 wins.   

[The Crusher]

Ain’t winning many games this year but stay tuned bitches! 

[Sammybighead]

I was slightly over with Lawson, now slightly under without him. I think 5-6 wins and I’m not happy about it. Hopefully we see an offense/QB that progresses.

[peebag]

Roster is paper thin on talent and given the extended season, injuries are key.

Under.

[Warfish]

5 or 6 wins feels about right.  Maybe 7 if things go very right.

Since it’s 6 1/2, and we’re the Jets, I voted under.

6-11 is a very real possibility.

I'm not seeing a problem learning the system.  ZW hasnt had a 3 and out yet on his resume, seems to know the system along with the other youngsters learning thier first NFL system

[Jet Blast]

7 wins.

Id have to disagree that its anything close to real.  

Given math and stuff.  

[Defense Wins Championships]

12-5.  

AFC East Champions.

Learning how to win the NFL can’t be taught.

Are you going to post pics of your betting stubs when you put your money down?

Good to hear they’re teaching our kids how to win.
I know it’s a copy cat league, but hopefully other CS’s haven’t noticed. We don’t want them doing the same thing with their teams.

Kind of missed the point by a mile

Under

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Ouch, the Jets get two penalty losses! 
 
I voted the over because there wasn’t the option I’m actually taking (don’t bet!), but also because I’m thinking 7-10. My homeristic tendencies displaying themselves.

Don’t beat yourself up over it. Happens to the best of us. ?

[Mark78]

10-7

[JohnnyLV]

Over. One word: Zach

[Irish Jet]

I bet heavy on over 6 wins a few hours before Lawson done his achilles. I blame myself.

[Green Ghost]

So far Under has 57% of the vote….

Good luck!

Don’t sweat it. I don’t think the loss of one defensive guy will affect your bet, even Lawson. How many games did the Bengals win with him the last few years? With defense it’s about how they play as a unit. 
I think @johnnysd nailed it when he said it’s all about the QB. If Zach plays well he can steal us a couple of wins…

Teach me to post in a hurry from my phone, lol.

6-11 (17 games), not 6-13 (19 games ftw?)

[NYJ1]

I had always thought based on the major roster purge that JD made that this team was a 7-10 team. Still pretty much a sh*t team, but worlds better than 2-14. I thought the addition of Morgan Moses had the potential to make us 8-9. Now, with the loss of Lawson and potentially some period of time without Jarred Davis, I'm beginning to think 7-10 would be most accurate.....
