Chargers vs Jets Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets are 4-3 this season and haven't looked that bad in their games despite rolling out Zach Wilson every week now that Aaron Rodgers has been injured. Wilson has looked a lot better in this offense though and the Jets defense has also been keeping them in a lot of their games. The Chargers are only 3-4 this season and they have struggled in their road games with a 1-2 road record. The Chargers haven't been great on defense either as they have been giving up a ton of points and the Jets have been a lot better in their home games so Wilson will have some opportunities to put up points in this offense. The Jets took down the Eagles at home before their bye week and they have the defense to keep this Chargers offense at bay too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to cover the spread in this game.
