ROGERS' AFC GAME OF THE WEEK (THURSDAY)
(NFL) Jacksonville vs. NY Jets,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -110.00 Jacksonville (Away)
Result: Win
The Jets host the Jaguars in the rain and the wind and prime time on TNF. No Mike White this week for the Jets. It is back to Zach Wilson, who has performed poorly this season, and does not appear to have the confidence of his team mates. As good as the Jets' defense is they are offensively challenged, averaging just 17 points in their last 3 games, and 27th ranked in red zone scoring. Wilson has just 6 TDs, to 6 picks, and has one of the worst completion %s in the league. The Jets are not compensating on the ground, with just 82 yards average rushing last 3 games and 50 last week.
The opposing QB, Lawrence has found his form lately, with QB rating of 121 last week, and 114 L3 games. He has been well protected and threw for 4 TDs vs the Cowboys last week. He has paid his dues, fouling up on a rain-soaked field earlier, and will know what to expect. As good as Trevor Lawrence has been, it would be remiss to underplay Etienne and the rest of the rush offense. The Jags had 190+ yards vs the Cowboys in overtime and 127 yards average, compared to the Jets' totals.
There is no question that the Jets have a formidable defense. There is a little wiggle room with the run defense, and they haven't been as tough on passers lately. Williams is still questionable which could be a reason for some of the defensive slippage. The Jag's defense has been opportunistic at best, often below average, but tougher on passers lately, averaging 3 sacks a game/ Last three.

The Jags have the momentum, the better run game and a much better pass attack. They rallied against a tough Cowboys team last week. I just can't see where the points will come for the Jets this week. Take the Jags, a slight underdog, to win.
