I’m not sure what the Jets did to be favored on the road, White playing quarterback or not. Wilson or White, the Jets’ offense has been a mess all year and is 25th in scoring offense. The Seattle Seahawks have their issues as well, and their defense has been a joke all year. The differences in this game is the fact the Seahawks are at home, and that helps in a must win game for both sides in terms of the playoffs. Also, this is a revenge game for Smith, as he spent his first 4 seasons with the Jets and was then kicked to the curb. I guarantee Smith had this game circled on his calendar. Give me the points with the Seahawks.
