| New Orleans Saints | New York Jets |
The topsy-turvy New York Jets are 6-point underdogs to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, which seems like a relatively small number when you look at each team’s last game.
One week after beating the New England Patriots, the Jets were obliterated, 49-9, by the Cincinnati Bengals last week. The Jets have alternated wins and losses every week this season.
The Saints are coming off a dominating performance against the Buffalo Bills. Brees threw five touchdowns, and the Saints’ defense continues to be relentless pressuring the quarterback under new coordinator Rob Ryan.
The Jets have covered the spread in five of their last seven games as home underdogs. This is a game where online sportsbook Sportsbook was cheering for the Jets late in the week because the book had so much action on the Saints.
The Jets sit at 4-4 (5-3 ATS) on the season; in comparison, the Saints are currently 6-1 (5-2 ATS). Looking to wager on the totals? New York is 5-3 OU, and New Orleans is 3-4 OU.
