Tyrod Taylor starts for the Jets on Sunday.
Even the most skeptical of bettors out there will undoubtedly have a tough time wagering their hard-earned money on the Jets here.
The spread for this game opened at Jets +7.5 back in August and was 6.5 as of Monday.
When Justin Fields was announced out for Sunday with a concussion, the line surprisingly did not drop on Wednesday.
Sportsbooks don’t see much of a difference between Taylor and Fields, but I do.
Taylor has played pretty well in mop-up duty for the Jets, recording an impressive 72.7 percent completion percentage in three games played.
The Buccaneers certainly have their own injuries to worry about; Emeka Egbuka practiced on Friday and is designated as questionable.
If Egbuka is cleared, he — alongside Mike Evans and Bucky Irving — could help the Buccaneers beat up on a Jets team that allowed a vintage stat line to Aaron Rodgers.
My model has a projected score of this game at 22.56 to 17.52, so there’s some value on the Jets here, but I am unwilling to place a wager on a Taylor-led offense.
Instead, I’ll target the under in this game.
The projected total has this game 40.08, giving us a strong value signal on the under 43.5 for this game.
Moreover, I suspect a conservative approach from the Jets that includes a steady diet of Braelon Allen as well as Breece Hall, with Taylor mixing in some designed runs.
Bet on Taylor to not throw an interception (-133, DraftKings) as well as the under in this game.
