As three-point favorites against the Commanders, the Jets
The New York Jets are striving to regain their winning streak against the Washington Commanders.
The New York Jets’ worst performance of the season was their loss to the Miami Dolphins, which brought their record to 5-9 and eliminated them from the playoffs for a 13th straight season. They now prepare to face the Washington Commanders, who have lost seven of their last eight games and are the last in the NFL in points allowed, passing yards allowed, passing touchdowns allowed, and passing yards allowed per attempt.
The Commanders have played only five winning teams all year and lost every such game. They have a losing record against teams with.500 records or worse. The New York Giants put up 31 points against the Commanders, while the Chicago Bears rang up 40. Their defense is the salve that heals bad offenses, like the Jets.
The Jets are only three point favorites against this Commanders team, which is equivalent to a toss-up on neutral ground. With the Jets holding home field advantage, it’s likely warranted, especially if Zach Wilson is unable to go due to his head injury. Trevor Siemian inspires zero confidence as the Jets can’t move the ball at all with Siemian at the helm, and he turns the ball over at an alarming rate.
In summary, the Jets’ poor performance and lack of confidence in their defense have led to a disappointing season. They must now prepare to face the Washington Commanders, who have a losing record against teams with.500 records or worse.
