PASS.
Avoid this play. The Jets (+230) haven’t performed well enough to think they can pull off the upset, but they should be able to keep this one reasonably close.
BET JETS +6.5 (-110).
The Saints offense will be without a key playmaker in Kamara and a key blocker in Ruiz, which should significantly hurt its production. New Orleans has had 4 straight games end with a margin of 4 points or fewer, and it failed to cover in its last game as a favorite — a 14-point loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
The Jets may get 1 of their 2 starting-caliber quarterbacks back. They are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games and 3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games. Considering those trends, take JETS +6.5 (-110).
BET OVER 40.5 (-110).
The Jets have gone Over in 3 straight games and in 5 of their previous 7 contests, mainly due to their poor defense. They have allowed at least 20 points in all 7 games and at least 34 points in 3 of them.
The Saints and their opponent have scored more than 40 points in 3 straight games, despite going 1-2 O/U in that span. New Orleans has allowed at least 20 points in all but 3 games this season. Bet OVER 40.5 (-110).
