New York at Jacksonville

Nervous about the Jaguars laying double-digit? Don't be. They are playing the Jets. It's not just because the Jets are 3-10 while Jacksonville is 9-4. The Jets are highly likely to start undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook, with Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields not yet healthy enough to play. This would be Cook's first NFL start. Cook is going against a Jacksonville defense that ranks 11th in fewest points and yards allowed. Usually, an underdog of this proportion needs multiple takeaways to cover a huge point spread like this one. The Jets don't do that. New York has two takeaways - all season. That's the fewest in 85 years for this late in the season. The Jets are also looking for their first interception. All Trevor Lawrence has to do is watch his running backs trample the Jets' 30th-ranked run defense and pick his spots throwing. The Jets have given up an average of 203 yards rushing during their past two games. Take the Jaguars.
