The New York Jets (0-1) and Tennessee Titans (0-1) will compete for their first win of the NFL season on Sunday, September 15, at 1:00 PM ET at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The Jets are favored on the road with a point spread at -3.5 (-105).
The Jets led 7-3 after the first quarter in their recent battle against the San Francisco 49ers. However, the 49ers answered with a 13-0 run in the second and eventually defeated the Jets 32-19.
This was the return of Aaron Rodgers for the Jets, who completed 13 of 21 passes for 167 yards with a touchdown and interception. Allen Lazard shined with six receptions for 89 yards and two touchdowns. This combination of Rodgers and Lazard will likely be a significant factor throughout each game of the season.
The Jets had 266 yards with 14 first downs and two turnovers. They allowed the 49ers to get 401 yards and 24 first downs. The two turnovers make it challenging to win against arguably one of the best teams in the league.
The offense had moments of success, as evidenced by the score, but they still have room for Rodgers to find a path to victory. The defense will also need to adjust, especially since they were not ready for an elite offense like the 49ers.
The Titans are a legit contender to take over the AFC South potentially, but stumbled in their opener against the Chicago Bears 24-17. The offense could not produce anything in the second half after taking a 17-3 lead in the first half.
Will Levis was solid, completing 19 of 32 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown, but he threw two interceptions, one of which was a key play that added points for the Bears. Tony Pollard was aggressive in their run game, with 16 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown.
The Titans had the tools to succeed but failed to finish strong. This was especially concerning since they were playing against a rookie quarterback in Caleb Williams, who completed 14 of 29 passes for 93 yards.
They allowed the Bears to get 148 yards and 11 first downs, and they forced a turnover. Their offense produced 244 yards and 16 first downs but turned the ball over three times.
MyBookie has the latest NFL betting odds for the New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans game. The current odds show the Jets as 3.5-point favorites.
Market analysis reveals the Jets have a 58.5 percent chance of winning outright. With the Jets having a solid performance against one of the best teams (the 49ers) in the league that is favored to win the Super Bowl, they should find a way to win and cover the spread against a weaker Titans team.
