While we all have an opinion on what the 2012\/13 Jets record will be, Las Vegas (Cantor Gaming)<\/a> has already provided the point-spread\/betting-line for weeks 1-16 in the NFL.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not supposed to make predictions in May but what fun would that be?\u00a0 Here are some predictions based on the current lines for all the Jets games, week 17\u2019s line is estimated.\u00a0 Note:<\/strong> This is for recreational purposes (fun) only<\/strong><\/span> and the author retains the right to change his mind and\/or opinion at anytime.<\/p>\n

Week 1: Sunday, September 9, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Buffalo Bills (+5.5) at New York Jets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Can you be a \u201csleeper\u201d team if everyone predicts you as a \u201csleeper\u201d team?\u00a0 Well the Bills are the off-season “flavor of the month” as they actually spent money and got some players.\u00a0 While they\u2019ll be formidable, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw 23 interceptions in 2011 (most in the league) and the Jets defense made him look like a guy that never put on a uniform before in Buffalo last year.<\/p>\n

    Prediction:<\/strong> Bills improved defense keeps it close, Bills – lose\/cover; 17-13<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Week 2: Sunday, September 16, 4:15pm:<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • New York Jets (+4.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Don\u2019t think you\u2019ll be seeing any cover-zero against Tebow this go around.\u00a0 The Steelers are in transition but often still\u00a0find away to be an elite team.\u00a0 Tough road spot for the Jets as Ben Roethlisberger will still be healthy this early in the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Prediction:<\/strong> Jets lose a close one late, Jets – lose\/cover; 20-24<\/span>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Week 3: Sunday, September 23, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • New York Jets (+1) at Miami Dolphins<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The Jets look to erase last year\u2019s debacle in south Florida.\u00a0 The Dolphins are 33rd<\/sup> in my power rankings, had to add an imaginary team, that\u2019s how bad they are.\u00a0 Can\u2019t wait for the owner Stephen Ross to say stupid things on \u201cHard Knocks\u201d and just think no one wants to play for him now.<\/p>\n

        Prediction:<\/strong> Jets soak-up the victory, win\/cover; 31-21<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Week 4: Sunday, September 30, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • San Francisco 49ers (+1) at New York Jets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          This game will be an ugly defensive slugfest with the team making the least mistakes wining.\u00a0 TGIML (in Met-Life) the 9ers have to travel east for a one o\u2019clock game that usually spells trouble for the road team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

          Prediction:<\/strong> Jets hold their own in a tight game, win\/cover; 13-9<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Week 5:\u00a0 Monday, October 8, 8:30pm:<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Houston Texans (PICK) at New York Jets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Another conference favorite with a top defense but the Jets own Houston having never lost to them (5-0).\u00a0 Just can\u2019t see beating top contenders back-to-back weeks.<\/p>\n

            Prediction:<\/strong> Houston is too deep, Texans – win\/cover; 13-21<\/span>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Week 6: Sunday, October 14, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
              \n
            • Indianapolis Colts (+7.5) at New York Jets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Andrew Luck can run all the “Y bananas\u201d per Jon Gruden he wants.\u00a0 The Jets will end up splitting him as Ryan\/Pettine throw blitzes never seen at Stanford\u00a0plus Dwight Freeney playing linebacker?<\/p>\n

              Prediction:<\/strong> Jets are simple better, win\/cover; 27-9<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Week 7: Sunday, October 21, 4:15pm:<\/h2>\n
                \n
              • New York Jets (+8) at New England Patriots<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                The Pats gained some new offensive weapons, like they needed them, and added players via free agency\/draft to improve one of the worst defenses from 2011.\u00a0 This game will be tight or a blow-out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

                Prediction:<\/strong> Blow-out, Patriots – win\/cover; 6-37<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                Week 8: Sunday, October 28, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
                  \n
                • Miami Dolphins (+4.5) at New York Jets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Ryan Tannehill should start by now but he\u2019ll be meeting the Met-Life turf mostly, Wife Lauren better get the ice-packs ready.\u00a0 Rex Ryan will throw everything and a kitchen sink, yes he\u2019ll bring a sink and throw it, at Tannehill.<\/p>\n

                  Prediction:<\/strong> Jets \u201csquish the fish\u201d, win\/cover; 34-9<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  Week 10: Sunday, November 11, 4:05pm:<\/h2>\n
                    \n
                  • New York Jets (+1.5) at Seattle Seahawks<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    The Seahawks are very mediocre but always tough to play at home (10-7) including a playoff win over the past two seasons.\u00a0 Jets come off a bye week, which should help the cross country journey, but were 2-6 on the road last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

                    Prediction:<\/strong> Jets put up a stinker, Seahawks – win\/cover; 10-24<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Week 11: Sunday, November 18, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
                      \n
                    • New York Jets (-3) at St. Louis Rams<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      The Jets see their old QB Kellen Clemens in this game as Sam Bradford is injured again thanks to the Rams poor offensive line.\u00a0 Our friend Brian Schottenheimer has Clemens drop-back 60 times and he gets knocked down 40.<\/p>\n

                      Prediction:<\/strong> Rams turnover fest, Jets – win\/cover; 31-10<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                      Week 12: Thursday, November 22, 8:20pm:<\/h2>\n
                        \n
                      • New England Patriots (-5) at New York Jets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        The schedule makers love to stick it to the Jets.\u00a0 Last year the Jets played home Sunday night then traveled to Denver (95 yard Tebow drive) for a Thursday night game.\u00a0 Pats get Week 10\/11 home games after their bye while Jets get to go to Seattle then St. Louis before a Thursday\/Thanksgiving day match-up against their division rival.\u00a0 Bill Belichick had no problem stopping Tebow in the playoffs even with his terrible defense.<\/p>\n

                        Prediction:<\/strong> Patriots offense too much to overcome, Pats – win\/cover; 17-27<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                        Week 13: Sunday, December 2, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
                          \n
                        • Arizona Cardinals (+6.5) at New York Jets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          A warm weather team travels across most of the country to frigid Met-Life.\u00a0 Perhaps the \u201cFordham Flash\u201d John Skelton can will his way to victory or maybe not?<\/p>\n

                          Prediction:<\/strong> On a late garbage touchdown, Cardinals – lose\/cover; 17-13<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                          Week 14: Sunday, December 9, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
                            \n
                          • New York Jets (-3.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            The stands will be packed for this one, with green number 15 jerseys.\u00a0 No one knows if the fans will cheer for the Jags, Jets or just Tebow?\u00a0 Chad Henne starts because Blaine Gabbert got benched for completing 42% of his passes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

                            Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0Respectable early but Jets pull away late, Jets – win\/cover; 27-13<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                            Week 15: Monday, December 17, 8:30pm:<\/h2>\n
                              \n
                            • New York Jets (PICK) at Tennessee Titans<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                              The winner may have the inside track to the playoffs.\u00a0 This\u2019ll be a bite your finger nails down to the cuticles kind of game.<\/p>\n

                              Prediction:<\/strong> Titans win\/cover<\/strong> in overtime; 20-23<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                              Week 16: Sunday, December 23, 8:20pm:<\/h2>\n
                                \n
                              • San Diego Chargers (+2.5) at New York Jets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d Norv, as Rex and company deliver some holiday cheer.\u00a0 You know Norv Turner will screw it up no matter what the Chargers record, besides they hate the cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

                                Prediction:<\/strong> Jets – win\/cover; 27-17<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                Week 17: Sunday, December 30, 1:00pm:<\/h2>\n
                                  \n
                                • New York Jets (-1.5, best guess) at Buffalo Bills<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  Talk about polar opposites (week 1\/17); Bills realize Ryan Fitzpatrick is junk and start Vince Young who keeps it close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
