The New York Jets will look to bounce back from a disappointing loss last week with a huge win over another AFC power when they head to M&T Bank Stadium to take on the Baltimore Ravens in prime time on Sunday Night Football. Kick-off is slated for 8:20 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on NBC.
New York comes into this game at 2-1 straight-up, but reeling from a 34-24 loss to Oakland as a 2.5-point road favorite this past Sunday, in a game that it led 17-7 midway in the second quarter. The total went ‘over’ the 41-point line.
Despite the record, there are some early concerns with the Jets as they are ranked 25th in the league in rushing on offense and ranked 31st against the run on defense, which is certainly not typical of a Rex Ryan coached team.
Baltimore opened its season with a dominating 35-7 romp over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers as a one-point home favorite. The glory was short lived with an ugly 26-13 loss to Tennessee as a 5.5-point road favorite the following Sunday. Last week the Ravens returned to form with a 37-7 victory over St. Louis as 5.5-point road favorites. The total went ‘over’ in all three games.
Wide receiver Lee Evans remains questionable for the second straight week with a nagging ankle injury, but Joe Flacco may have found a new target in the passing game after rookie receiver Torrey Smith snagged five receptions for 152 yards and three touchdowns last week against the Rams.
Jets betting is 13-6 against the spread in betting predictions their last 19 games as overall underdogs and the total has gone ‘over’ in seven of their last eight games as underdogs on the road.
Ravens betting is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as favorites and the total has gone ‘over’ in their last four games.
The road team in this series is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings, but New York is just 1-6 ATS in the last seven games overall. Despite their recent woes against Baltimore, stick with the Jets and the 3.5-points as this is shaping up as a three-point game either way.
The Pick: Baltimore 20 New York 17
