Texans Vs Jets Spread

The New York Jets (4-9) will host the Houston Texans (9-4) in the first of two games played on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 4:30 EST at MetLife Stadium and will be televised on the NFL Network.

Santonio Holmes caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez with 10 seconds left, lifting the New York Jets to a stunning 30-27 comeback victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. The Texans have also been installed as home favorites by 6.5 points over the Jacksonville Jaguars according to the Jaguars vs Texans odds. Meanwhile, the Jets are seven-point home underdogs to the Arizona Cardinals as can be seen in the Cardinals vs Jets odds and the Giants are 9.5-point dogs on the road in the Giants vs. The Jets play host to Houston, as they’re coming off their fourth victory of the season in Buffalo. The Texans enter as 6.5-point favorites on the road, and the Linebacker thinks they’ll cover that spread. The Linebacker predicts a final score of 29.7 - 16.4 in favor of the Texans.

Taking a look at the Week 15 betting odds, Houston is currently a 6.5-point favorite at most books, but several have jumped the Texans up to -7. The total for this matchup is currently at 41.5 points.

Vegas Betting Preview & Game Odds: Texans vs Jets

Houston’s 9-game winning streak came to an end last week, as the Texans fell 24-21 at home to division rival Indianapolis. Houston jumped out to a 7-0 lead, but the Colts scored 17 unanswered to take a 17-7 halftime lead and never looked back. On the bright side, the Texans still have a commanding 2-game lead in the AFC South with just 3 to play.

New York snapped a 6-game losing streak with a 27-23 come-from-behind win on the road against division rival Buffalo. You have to like the fight of the Jets, who are simply playing for pride at this point in the season. However, each win only hurts their draft positioning. There are 3 teams tied for the worst record at 3-9 and New York is now tied with 4 others at 4-9.

Free NFL Betting Pick & Predictions: Texans -6.5

My early lean here would have to be laying less than a touchdown with the Texans. I’m sure this line is inflated a bit, but there’s just no way I’m risking my hard earned cash on this Jets team. We don’t even know if New York is going to show up for this game. A win here and the Jets will be flirting with not even having a pick in the Top 10.

Even if the Jets lay it all on the line in this game, there’s still a decent chance they lose by double-digits. Houston is the far superior team and I have to believe the Texans know just how important this game is. Nothing is a sure thing in the NFL and a loss this week and the pressure will really start to mount. I expect this team to be 100% locked in and that should be more than enough for them to cover this spread.

I’ve got major concerns for Jets’ rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. I get the feeling he might be one of those guys who has all the things scouts look for in the physical attributes of a quarterback, but not the smarts to be a top notch signal caller in the NFL. He’s thrown 15 interceptions with 8 of those coming in his last 4 starts. He’s also completing just 55.9% of his attempts and only putting up 6.72 yards/pass attempt. He’s not going to have leading rusher (Isaiah Crowell) or leading recover (Quincy Enunwa), as both are out for this game.

I just think with the talent the Texans have on the defensive side of the ball, most notably J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney, it’s pretty much a guarantee that Darnold makes a costly mistake. I also don’t think he’s capable of leading this team back if things were to spiral out of control early.

Houston hasn’t disappointed in this spot of late, as they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games against a team with a losing home record. Jets on the other hand are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 off a win and 0-4 ATS in their last vs a team with a winning record. Give me the Texans -6.5!

It’s a new era for the New York Jets under the NFL’s first Muslim head coach in Robert Saleh. Saleh rings in a fresh start after one of the darkest eras in Jets history under Adam Gase. Rumors are surrounding Sam Darnold and the team’s willingness to move on from the former top overall draft pick; BYU star Zach Wilson has been a name frequently associated with the Jets this offseason (they’ve also been speculated to land Texans’ star Deshaun Watson).

While they avoided an 0-16 disaster, the Jets may have missed out on the sweepstakes for Trevor Lawrence, who has been hailed as the best NFL prospect since Andrew Luck (and, before then, Peyton Manning). The expectations moving forward are at the very least low and the Jets are on the fast track to a rebuild. Aging contracts of Joe Flacco and Frank Gore are on the out and the young corps of a strong defensive front stay in tact.

Playoffs are a ways away for New York, but at least the old regime is well in the past.

Best Jets betting site(s)

Jets prop bets

Prop bets are based on individual performance, typically surrounding players. Options for Jets prop bets were sparse this past season, but common lines included La’Mical Perine’s rushing totals and Jamison Crowder’s receiving totals. For example, in their Week 5 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, Crowder had a projected receiving total of 72.5 yards; those who thought Crowder would pull in 73 or more yards would bet the over and those who thought he would fail to record 73 yards would bet the under. Crowder totaled 116 receiving yards that week, giving over bettors a win.

Jets futures odds

Futures are long-term bets that can range from an offseason to a full season (or beyond). Team win totals, award winners, and player performance are common futures. For example:

2020 Odds to win NFL DPOY

• Nick Bosa +200
• Aaron Donald +250
• Stefon Gilmore +400
• Joey Bosa +700

This line for the Defensive Player of the Year would often be bet before the season starts. Futures allow for bettors to capitalize on players they think are favorites to win awards long before the odds shift away from their favor. For example, Donald opened with odds of +250 to win the DPOY; his odds will shift as the season develops based on his performance for the Rams defense and he would go on to win the award.

Jets Super Bowl LVI odds

The New York Jets hold +6600 odds to win Super Bowl LVI– one of the longest odds in the NFL for the upcoming season. A big offseason acquisition like Deshaun Watson could have a dramatic impact on those odds moving through the offseason.

Jets AFC East odds

The Jets were mathematically eliminated from AFC East contention in Week 13 of the 2020 NFL season.

How to bet on the New York Jets

Moneyline

The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:

• Texans -185
• Jets +310

The Jets are considered heavy underdogs in this matchup (indicated by +310), paying out $410 total for a $100 bet ($310 in winnings). The Texans are considered the favorite in this matchup, requiring a $185 bet to win $100 (plus the initial $100 bet). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.

Point spread

Betting on the point spread is determinant on how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:

• Rams -8.5 (-110)
• Jets +8.5 (-110)

In this example, Los Angeles is favored by 8.5 points, indicated by “-8.5.” If the Rams win the game 31-20, the Rams (-8.5) win the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Jets keep the game within nine and lose 23-17, the Jets (+8.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.

Point total (over/under)

The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, the Jets Week 13 point total against the Las Vegas Raiders was 47.5. The final score resulted in a 31-28 Raiders win, resulting in 59 total points. Those who bet the over on the game would cash out.

In-play and live betting

Sometimes, the most thrilling and rewarding bets are bets made while games are being played. These are referred to as live bets or in-play bets. Odds are ever-changing during games, which would prove to be fruitful for sharp and prepared bettors. For example, if the Jets (-115) were favored against the Cowboys (+120) before kickoff, a payout on a $10 bet on the Jets to win would win just $8.70.

However, say the Jets fell to a big 24-3 deficit in the first half despite controlling the overall game (due to costly turnovers or special teams gaffes). Odds may swing in favor of the Cowboys, who may be a -110 favorite at halftime. Taking the Jets to come back and win the game could present plus-odds (say, +130). Should a bettor take New York (+130) at halftime and the Jets pull off the comeback, winners would win $13 instead of $8.70 (plus the initial $10 bet).

This could also be an effective way to “hedge” your bet; say a bettor took the Cowboys (+120) in that game, but New York jumps out to a 10-0 first quarter lead and is controlling the overall feel of the game, bettors could hedge by throwing some money down on New York (-170) to return some of the inevitably-lost bet.

Parlays and teasers

You can always string bets together in the form of parlays or teasers. Usually during busy Sundays, bettors can parlay several teams to win or cover against the spread and if all bets are successful, the payouts are multiplied. Teasers function similarly, except they allow bettors to move each point spread to a more favorable line in exchange for diminished odds.

Jets 2020 recap

Record: 2-14

Record ATS: 6-10

Over/under record: 7-9

The Jets were large and by far the favorite to secure the top overall draft pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and, at one point, the next team to go 0-16. New York was able to pull off a pair of equally-surprising upsets (Rams, Browns) late in the year to salvage a 2-14 record. However, most fans likely would have preferred to go 0-16 and have the first selection in April’s draft.

Their 6-10 record against the spread is a tale of thirds: first, the Jets were expected to be competitive this season, even giving them edges against early-season opponents. The second third of the year saw the Jets getting blown out worse and worse each week, losing their first seven games by more than 10 points. The final third of the year saw the Jets as frequently-massive underdogs, but New York was able to keep their last games close, resulting in a better-than-expected record ATS.

Key free agents: Neville Hewitt (LB)

Texans Vs Jets Spread Predictions

Draft pick position needs: QB, WR, CB, EDGE, RB

There’s not much in terms of key free agents when it comes to the Jets; the 2020 roster was fairly devoid of offensive talent and most key defenders are under contract through the season. However, a campaign for young standout safety Marcus Maye (28 years old) and starting linebacker Neville Hewitt should be pieced together. Maye was given the franchise tag designation, locking him in for at least another year. The Jets have also been strongly rumored to be a landing spot for estranged Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, should he be traded.

Cases can be made for almost every position being an area of need for the Jets this draft. At the second spot, the Jets are rumored to be a landing spot for BYU standout Zach Wilson. New York also has the 24th overall pick from the Seahawks from last year’s Jamal Adams trade and could look to add to a sparse receiving corps with Minnesota’s Rashod Bateman or LSU’s Terrace Marshall Jr.
