Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sam Panayotovich
This pick won’t be popular, especially after Justin Herbert and the Bolts throttled the Bears by 17 points last week on Sunday night.
But New York’s defense is no joke.
The Jets held Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor to eight – yes, eight – passing yards last week. Robert Saleh is pushing all the right buttons on the defensive side of the ball and I love the Jets’ ability to pressure Justin Herbert.
Herbert has amazing arm talent, but he’s the definition of a gunslinger. He loves forcing passes into tight windows, and he’s no stranger to making risky throws into double coverage. I’m banking on Herbert throwing a back-breaking interception at a crucial point of the game.
Take the points.
PICK: Jets (+3) to lose by fewer than 3 points (or win outright)
