Bill Speros writes: “The 0-6 Jets finished with -10 yards passing in their 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London on Sunday. That may be the most Jets stat in franchise history. And we’re talking about a team that hasn’t won a Super Bowl since man walked on the moon. The 3-3 Panthers – surprise! – ride a two-game winning streak into MetLife. They’ve scored 57 points in those victories and beat Dallas with a field goal at the gun on Sunday. The over/under on Jets fans at MetLife with paper bags on their heads shown during the FOX telecast is 8.5. Can’t wait for Mike Francesa’s post-game rage after the Jets fall to 0-7 in our NFL Week 7 Best Bets.”

Matt Johnson writes: “For the first time since October 2021, the Carolina Panthers have a shot at being above .500. Rico Dowdle, coming off consecutive games with 200-plus scrimmage yards, is the biggest reason for this team’s success as of late. Just behind that is a defense that has held its last four opponents to 73.4 rush ypg with a 3.4 yards-per-carry average. Carolina can take away the one thing the New York Jets do well, and even if Sauce Gardner blankets Tetairoa McMillan, Dave Canales will ensure that Dowdle feasts on a defense that is allowing 145 rush ypg in the last month.”
