The wise guys have set the Jets win total for the upcoming season at 5.5.\u00a0 As a football fan, and more specifically, a Jet fan, 5.5 seems low.\u00a0 The Jets managed four wins last season with a rookie quarterback who missed significant time and a defense that appeared to be playing with seven men on the field.\u00a0 Last season was a dumpster fire, and the team still managed four wins.\u00a0 Surely in their 17 games and having made significant roster upgrades, this team can find two more wins than they did last season.\u00a0 The Jets still have two picks in the top ten of the draft, and that represents a prime opportunity to find additional impact players either by using the picks or trading them away.\u00a0 Before you rush off to lay down a few weeks pay on the over, let\u2019s do our due diligence.\u00a0 There are several things to consider before taking the leap and betting on NFL football in New York<\/a>.\u00a0 (The cross-town, er, ah, the same-stadium rival Giants number is 7.)\u00a0 I am not saying that taking the Jets over the total isn\u2019t a good bet.\u00a0 There are multiple books running great bonus deals ready to take that bet from you I am saying look at all the angles first.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The wise guys are indeed wise. This is true at all times and needs to be considered for any bet you might be measuring.\u00a0 Casinos give away food, show tickets, even game tickets, but their sportsbooks do not give away winners.\u00a0 The people who set these lines spend all day everyday working on it.\u00a0 They are better at this stuff than you or I.\u00a0 There are rarely any mistakes made.\u00a0 Don\u2019t act impulsively.\u00a0 If a line looks to good to be true, it is.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. You are a Jet fan. Understand the implications of being a Jet fan in regard to betting on the Jets.\u00a0 The first is that this team\u2019s capabilities have a history of looking much better on paper than they are in actuality.\u00a0 The offseason is the best time to be a Jet fan.\u00a0 The recent history, \u2018recent\u2019 meaning just about every season since 1969, show a trend where Jet fanhood has meant being optimistic in the offseason and in brutal and constant abdominal pain during the season.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let your passion effect your purse.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s in your nature to feel good about your team\u2019s chances before the season starts.\u00a0 Factor that in your bet strategy \u2013 you need to be objective at all times in money matters.<\/li>\n
  3. Season win totals are as much about other teams as it they about your team.<\/em><\/strong> The Jets may be better this season than they were last year.\u00a0 They should be \u2013 it wouldn\u2019t take much.\u00a0 The question is will being better mean posting more than five wins?\u00a0 It\u2019s very plausible that this team will be better and not hit 6 wins.\u00a0 The opposition needs to be part of the equation.\u00a0 The AFC East is a brutal place to live.\u00a0 The Jets won exactly zero division games last season<\/a>. Buffalo is a favorite to represent the conference in the Super Bowl.\u00a0 The Dolphins won eight of the last nine games and will probably sign two impact free agents during the time it takes you to read this article; and the Patriots are, well, the Patriots. \u00a0The calendar is daunting despite the Jets earning a last-place schedule.\u00a0 Reviewing this year\u2019s slate<\/a>, in how many games do you expect the Jets to enter as the favorites?\u00a0 I don\u2019t see more than three.\u00a0 That means we need at least three upsets to cash on the over.<\/li>\n
  4. There is a strategy to the timing of lines being published. The wise guys know not only what the best line is to maximize their earnings.\u00a0 They also know when it\u2019s best to post those lines.\u00a0 It\u2019s April.\u00a0 What do we know about these teams now?\u00a0 This has easily been the wildest free agency period the NFL has ever seen.\u00a0 We can say definitively that the Jets have upgraded their roster.\u00a0 We can look at other teams and assess whether they have added or subtracted quality during free agency.\u00a0 There are differing opinions across the web on that, and some people\u2019s free agency \u2018winners\u2019 will be other people\u2019s \u2018losers\u2019.\u00a0 The draft throws more variables into the mix.\u00a0 The most impactful unknown is injury.\u00a0 There will be key injuries during the preseason; there always are.\u00a0 These lines are out now because it\u2019s in the best interest of the house for them to be out now.\u00a0 Lines always post when it\u2019s best for the house to post them.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, what to do?\u00a0 Season win totals are nothing if not entertaining.\u00a0 It\u2019s fun to look at what Vegas thinks versus what you expect from your team and your hated rivals.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if the Jets can get to 6 wins with this schedule and so many new and young players needing to come together.\u00a0 I am not betting against it either.\u00a0 Try to enjoy the offseason.\u00a0 Try to enjoy the real season.\u00a0 That would be refreshing, right?\u00a0 I think the line is right where it needs to be, which means I am looking elsewhere for value.\u00a0 Try these instead:<\/p>\n

    Buffalo over 11.5<\/p>\n

    Tennessee over 9.5<\/p>\n
