slimjasi Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Is the line too high? Too low? Just right? Personally - I worry that the Jets will get crushed in this game. edit: It looks like the line has dropped to 16 or 16.5, depending on where you look. Still a huge line.

UntouchableCrew Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 In a vacuum, I'd expect a blowout. 41-10 wouldn't shock me. But the Jets have looked feisty enough that I don't think it's a lock by any stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green hat Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I said yes the Jets will make it a game but now I am having second thoughts. I can see having a little bit of a let down after the effort last week and the deflating end. It would really impress me if they can go toe to toe with another contender. And the Int streak is unlikely to continue. Most good QBs can't go 5 games without an Int, nevermind a rookie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder to get up for a road game in freezing Buffalo after the deflating loss. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Banged up team with nothing to play for vs a team competing for the division? Jets lose by 20 is my guess 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bla bla bla Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think the spread is correct. I would not touch this game but I think the Jets can cover it. I'd love to bounce the Bills from the division title. With our luck though we'd win and the Pats would lose and it would be all for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy2020 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'd have voted yes, but the reason isn't a good one. It's too high because that's a lot of points that even good vs bad teams tend not to reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I don't want the Pats to win the division. And we get a highly improbable win against a good team to end the season. Momentum going into the offseason could make us more appealing in FA. Bonus: We get to tarnish the Bills division title a tad by forcing them to "back in" to it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting though for us to compare/contrast how this game is handled by Wilson vs. how White handled it. White actually got to impatient and forced the ball down the field. Lets see if Wilson falls into that trap, although the weather may dictate that may be out of the question regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hex Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Jets might be fiesty, but the Bills defense is better than the Bucs, and they just beat up the Falcons with Josh Allen posting a worse passer rating than if he spiked the ball on every down.

Crowder practiced yesterday so i expect he plays. Moore hasn't practiced in weeks and didn't practice yesterday. I think he was working off to the side today. Whatever that means. Given that it's the last game, will be cold and wet, I could see them holding him out. Haven't heard anything about Carter....which is never good news.

In his presser yesterday, Saleh said that Carter is expected back. Agree on Crowder and Moore. Crowder liekly plays, Moore we don't likely see until next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doitny Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 could be the weather too. its going to be cold and windy up there. good thing we drafted a QB who is used to playing in that kind of weather coming from Provo Utah and not sunny and always warm USC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were kidding when you said you didn’t know - good for you for living a gambling free life! You could look at it that way, but basically, Vegas is saying: “if we add 17 points to the Jets score (or take 17 points away from the Bills score), an equal number of folks from the betting public will bet on the jets and bills, which maximizes our profit” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
