Jets vs Buccaneers Predictions and Picks
New York is 29th in passing yards, sixth in rushing yards, tied for 21st in total points scored, and 30th in points against. Tyrod Taylor will start in place of Justin Fields, who is out due to a concussion. The offense took a significant step back last week, struggling to get anything going. In addition, the defense has allowed more than 30 points in two consecutive weeks. The Jets will need to get their running game going and make some stops on defense.
Tampa Bay is ranked 26th in passing yards, ninth in rushing yards, tied for 18th in points scored, and 13th in points conceded. Mayfield has started the season strong, throwing zero picks. The Bucs have a strong receiving core, and they have managed to win two close games. The defense has no interceptions yet, but they could get one with the perfect pressure on Taylor. If they eliminate the running game, they should cruise to victory in their home opener.
Best Bet: Buccaneers Spread
The Jets' offense may be improving, but there is still much work to be done. The defense struggled in the passing game and will struggle with Mayfield's arm. The Bucs have won two close games, but they will try to score throughout this game and take a significant lead at halftime.
