LOSS

In my preseason predictions, I recommended taking the Jets to get over 6 wins. They are on pace to get eight. And, barring some bad coaching last week, they could be 3-1 and coming off a huge upset win vs. the Colts. In control of the game and with the lead in the second half, Eric Mangini inexplicably decided to go for a touchdown on 4th down and goal instead of kicking a field goal. The Colts went on to win the game by 3 points, scoring in the last minute. In any case, the Jets are 3-1 against the spread for a reason. They still don't get enough respect. With QB Chad Pennington playing great again, they are scoring 26 points per game on the road and allowing just 18. Pennington is completing 67% of his pass and has a 3-to-1 TD to Interception ratio. Jacksonville is playing classic Jags football - every game close and up for grabs. All four of their games could have gone either way and as a result, they are 2-2. New York's biggest weakness is their defense but Jacksonville's offense just isn't very good. I just think scrappy New York finds a way to keep this close as Jacksonville rarely blows anyone out. Jets plus the points.
