JETS -10 Cincinnati 35
Cincinnati has a shot at the number three seed if NE loses their game earlier. The Jets control their fate with a playoff berth if they win. It?s conceivable NE could lose and Cincinnati would value that number three seed and try to win this game. Marin Lewis has stated he plans on playing to win this game. The Cincinnati offense is better than the Jets at 5.0yppl against 5.3yppl compared to the Jets at 5.0yppl against 5.5yppl. The Cincinnati defense, while above average, is not as good as the Jets at 5.0yppl against 5.2yppl, compared to the Jets at 4.3yppl against 5.4yppl. The Jets qualify in a late season scheduling situation, which is 124-64-1. This line is inflated but not as much as I originally would have thought. My numbers favor the Jets by seven points and predict about 29 points. Lewis has stated he plans to try and win this game. Although the situation favors the Jets I like Cincinnati to keep this game close. The dog in Cincy games is now 14-1 ATS this year. The Jets have just one win at home this year by more than 10 points and that was by 11 points against Carolina. Granted, if Cincinnati pulls their starters, the Jets posses the type of defense that could roll but their own offense isn?t that great. The Bengal?s have lost just one game by more than 11 points this year and that was at Minnesota.
