New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction
The New York Jets are the more talented team and looked good against the Dolphins before collapsing in the final minutes. The problem is that's the story of the Jets season. They find ways to lose every week. The Jets haven't won a game since Halloween, and they're 1-6 SU in their last 7 games as a favorite. The Jaguars have issues of their own, but they're 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games, and they have a quarterback in Mac Jones who is auditioning to stay in the league. I just can't lay points with the Jets, a team that finds creative ways to lose weekly. Give me the points with the Jags.
