Carolina Panthers vs. New York Jets Prediction
I’m on the Jets here. If the Jets can’t win this game, there’s a good chance the Jets could go 0-17. The spot just sets up well for New York, catching Carolina off of a big win over Dallas, and on the road where they’ve been far less effective this season. The Jets are still a really bad team, but this spot is too good to pass on with them. Give me the Jets in this one.
