New York Jets: Is The Over Too Heavy?

By: Dan Orlando

The Eagles enter this home matchup against the Jets 14 point favorites and- I’ll save you the suspense- I don’t see an upset on the horizon for New York.

Yes, the Philadelphia secondary has seen better days…but so has the Jets offense.

Despite optimism this week that he may be cleared following a Week 4 bye, Sam Darnold has not been given the green-light to return to the field. So Gang Green will once again turn to Luke Falk, a QB that started 2019 as a third stringer.

The Jets are now dead last in total offense. Even with a week off, 590 total yards is horrifying.

Big-ticket acquisition, Le’Veon Bell has accumulated a paltry 163 yards on the ground and there’s little to indicate he’ll right this sinking ship today.

The over is 43.5.

The Jets defense is actually competent, sitting at 9th overall. That should be enough to hold the 7th overall Philadelphia offense to 35 or under. The Jets will contribute 7.

I’m feeling the under.
