NY Jets vs Denver Broncos Prediction
The Jets have won two games in a row and they will look to carry the momentum from last week’s blowout win over the Patriots into this matchup. Aaron Rodgers continues to get better as he sees more snaps this season and they have scored 24 points in their last two games. Denver did get their first victory of the season last week against Tampa Bay, but I think Bo Nix is going to struggle against the New York defense. I expect this to be a lower-scoring game, but I like the Jets to put this game away in the second half. Take the Jets to cover at home.
