I guess there are a few of these out there--heard Francessa yesterday and he had some slightly different numbers. I'm a little surprised with the Jets at a 7--I would have thought 8 at a minimum and maybe higher. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/LVH-releases-2014-NFL-season-win-totals.html 2014 OPENING NFL SEASON WIN TOTALS FROM THE LVH _
So the only way you'd lose that bet, if the Jets win 6? I'd take that action. 7 wins i see as the floor, 8 being realistic, and 9 being a possibility if Geno improves and the Oline holds up. I also would take the Patriots over 10.5 unfortunately. They managed 12 last year with a shaky squad.
Interesting. They had the jets at 6.5 wins last year (http://www.predictionmachine.com/2013-NFL-win-totals-LVH), but that was with most people calling us one of the worst teams in the league . . .
Colts over 9.5 is the easiest money to be made on there. I think a lot has to go wrong if we dont win more than 7 games. I've never once bet on the Jets but if I had a free bet Id put it on the over. We're atleast winning 9.
Yeah, thanks, wasn't sure. That 7 looks like a no-lose situation. But then again, hunches like that are probably why there are a lot of big buildings in Vegas. _
7 is a good spot for the Jets actually. A few things go wrong, an injury here or there, the Jets could easily be 6-10 or worse. You are right about the buildings in Vegas. Haha.
Wait, they have the Foreskins winning 7.5 games and us only 7? Has Vegas looked at Washington's defense? I don't usually bet but my God...
I count five areas of concern going into the season, the first being always present in such assessments, that being can the team hold onto the apparent advantages carried over from last season. The other four, specific to this team, are Secondary. Not only who will play #2 Cb, but how will the overall group hold together with at least two new starters. OL, and OGs in particular. Colon is an injury question mark, B Winters the worst starter on the team, and so far no proven backups at either positoin. Plus a new RT has to be worked in there. Receiver options. Meaning beyond Decker, Kerley and I think an enhanced RB option present in Johnson. But how will Amaro do, and who is the starting #2 WR. Qb. Says it all. Imo if the Jets do reasonably well in only two of those areas, they will make 7 wins, roughly. I think most likely the carry over will be one, although that is always a risk, but here the Jets are a relatively young team and in good physical shape (obvious concerns like Colon aside). Of the other four, odds are at least one will show positive development, but beyond that I would be loath to count on it. The situation could change with some roster moves before opening day, though. But right now, 7 looks like a fair number.
