Thursday Night Football
Week 16 Kicks Off Here
The final games of the regular season are meant to solidify playoff seeding, but in Week 15 precious few postseason berths were clinched over a chaotic slate that featured three overtime games. When the dust — and snow — cleared, the Cowboys fell to the resurgent Jaguars, the Raiders picked a win over the Patriots out of thin air, and the A.F.C. wild-card spots were just as up for grabs as they had been before the weekend’s games kicked off.
NY Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars, 1.15am GMT
Over 36.5 Points @10/11
Jets ML @20/29
Jets are 7-7. But their L’s came against absolute top teams. They lost to NFC 2nd placed Vikings, AFC 1st placed Bills, 3rd placed Bengals, 4th placed Ravens, twice against the coaching greatness of Bill Belichick and most recently against the red hot Lions, who are 6-1 for their last 7 games. All those Ls came against teams with a winning record. The Jaguars holding a 6-8 record. And they’re even 2-5 on the road this season.
We wouldn’t put too much weight on the most recent games of both teams. For either team it has been close to having the opposite result. For the Jets, it has looked like a W against the Lions. Jets have been up by 4 points with less than 2 minutes to go. Lions turned it around with their last chance in that game. 4th down for the Lions at the 50 yards line. Surprisingly, they got a sneaky TD out of it. Jets have been close to get it to OT with field goal at the end, though. But 58 yards was too much for Zuerlein that day. For the Jaguars, they’ve been down by 14 points at half-time and by 17 points in the 3rd quarter against the Stars last week. The Stars got more and more sloppy after half-time and the Jaguars tied it with a field goal literally in the last second of the game to send it to OT. Stars sloppiness continued when Jenkins ran for a turnover touchdown to get the OT W for the Jaguars.
