The New York Jets are showing more signs of life with White at quarterback, and they just beat the Bengals outright as big underdogs last week. The Indianapolis Colts have played better football over the last month, but they’re still hit or miss due to a limited passing attack and a defense that’s average at best. The Colts have also played some of their worst ball at home this season. The Colts are the better team, but this is a ton of points on a quick turnaround. Give me the Jets.
