This recreation is a rematch from final yr when the Jets rode third-string QB Mike White to a stirring 34-31 win on Halloween. White handed for 405 yards and three TDs, together with two within the remaining 5 minutes. From a playing perspective, the Jets gained outright as 11.5-point underdogs!
Cincinnati cannot defend Joe Burrow (once more), as he has absorbed 13 sacks in two video games, and their tackles have gotten abused by T.J. Watt and Micah Parsons. In consequence, the Bengals had zero explosive performs (20-plus yards) final week vs. Dallas. However, the Jets haven't got an edge rusher of that high quality. Coach Robert Saleh should dial up blitzes, as his entrance 4 cannot get a lot stress (thirtieth in stress fee). So that's one massive matchup to observe on this recreation.
The Bengals have trailed by double digits within the first half of the final 4 video games courting again to final yr's playoffs. Ultimately, Cincinnati will get it collectively … proper? That is a dialogue for an additional day.
The Jets' safeties have been atrocious, getting roasted for 3 deep scores towards Lamar Jackson in Week 1.
