Really trying to find a reason *not* to put a boatload of money on the Jets this week.
Nick Mangold and Fitzpatrick are just about fully healthy again. Match-ups across the board favor the Jets. The Jets are a long shot from getting into the playoffs but are not eliminated yet, so they have much more to play for.
Dallas sucks. Dez Bryant is having a terrible year and Matt Cassell is just pathetic. McFadden is having a great impact in reviving Dallas' running game, but the Jets stop the run extremely well. Dallas also has a very poor record covering at home.
I just look at this game and I am reminded of the silliness that the Carolina / Dallas game was, where the Cowboys actually opened as favorites, only to be blown out. Obviously, the Jets aren't in the same league as Carolina, but have proven to be a decent team this year when healthy.
Only thing that has me scared is because it seems like such an easy play, and the public is going bonkers pounding the Jets. However, sometimes the square side is the right side.
Thoughts?
