Favorite Betting Picks
- Jets +4.5: Historically, the Super Bowl loser has struggled in Week 1, with a 5-19 record against the spread (ATS) in the past 24 years. San Francisco’s head coach Kyle Shanahan is also 2-5 ATS in Week 1. Given the Jets' solid defense, an improved offensive line, and playmakers like Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, this might be a favorable spot for the Jets.
