The New York Jets are favored on Sunday in Jacksonville when they meet the Jaguars.
Why?
Now, I know the Kansas City Chiefs have lost seven straight games against the point spread and still attract bettors. But that is the Chiefs, the two-time defending Super Bowl Champions, and a team with the best record in football, equalling the 12-1 of the Detroit Lions.
But the Jets?
They are 3-9-1 against the point spread, have an aging quarterback that seems more interested in, well, things other than developing a rapport with his teammates. They are on their second head coach, are without a general manager and an owner who does just enough to gum up the works in Woody Johnson.
And they are favored?
