Why bet on Jets versus Seahawks?

The Jets are 1-3 against the spread in their last 4 games, but look who the ATS win came against? NYJ hung with Buffalo in a 20-12 loss.

There are two things to consider in that game. First, the Jets started Mike White, who will play on Sunday. Second, the Jets’ defense held the Bills to 20 points. If the J-E-T-S can lock down on NYJ, they for sure can lock down on Seattle.

New York Jets at Seattle Seahawks Final Betting Prediction

This is one of those let’s throw a dart and see where it lands games. But before tossing the dart, it’s important to note a key factor.

The Jets’ defense continues to play lights out. The offense struggled big time against Jacksonville last week. The defense played great.

Now that Mike White is back, the offense will open up because White is the better quarterback than Zach Wilson. Opening up the offense should lead to more points than what Geno Smith and the Seahawks can score against the Jets’ D.

Seattle has home field advantage. For sure, that means something. What means more is that Seattle’s defense isn’t great but the Jets’ is. NYJ wins and covers.
