NFL Betting: New York Jets at Tennessee Titans

Written by Brad Marchetti

Can the AFC East leading New York Jets be the first to defeat the tired Tennessee Titans? The New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans match-up will be the backstretch of a grueling 5 game stint for the Titans. Gun-slinging Jets QB Brett Favre has matched guns with almost any offense willing to challenge him. Can Favre continue to play the mistake-free football necessary to beat a well-balanced monster in Tennessee? The NFL odds for the New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans game is Tennessee -5.0 to -6.0 on the SPREAD.

Brett Favre (93.0 passer rating) will need AFC leading rusher Thomas Jones ( 5’10” 215” 4.40 40-speed) to rush the ball effectively. The Titans are built to stop the run and Jones will play a big role in the outcome of this game. The Jets have toned down Favre’s gun slinging in their last 2 wins with great success. Jones should have fresh legs with 10 days rest. The Titans defense has recorded 28.0 sacks and will eat Favre up if they can stop Jones. The NFL betting OVER\UNDER for the New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans game is at 40.0 to 40.5 points. The OVER looks juicy on this line.

Kerry Collins is being mentioned among some insiders as the MVP of the NFL. The experienced QB has shown the downfield passing ability to win games with his arm if necessary. Last week Collins orchestrated 3 scoring drives to eliminate an 11 point deficit on the road against Jacksonville.`Collins might need to use his arm to win again against a run-stuffing Jets defense. Titan RB’s Chris Johnson (4.24 40-speed) and 245-Lb. Lendale White are top-caliber, but 335-Lb. Jets DT Kris Jenkins is a difference maker that eats space. Collins should be able to test rookie Jets CB Dwight Lowery (5’11” 200). Tennessee has a nice set of wideouts that has an emerging star in Brandon Jones (6’1” 212 4.45 40-speed). Jones is a strong, sure handed receiver that can break tackles after the catch. If you are doing your NFL football picks for the New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans game is New York at -240.

The New York Jets are 5-1 ATS as away dogs and their 3-4 defense has given the Titans problems in the past. Tennessee beat the Jets 10-6 last season against a Brett Favre’s less NY squad at home. The forecast in Tennessee for this game is expected to be cool and clear.
