The New York Jets are desperately trying to get back into contention for a spot in the NFL Playoffs. A 3-6 record through the first nine weeks isn’t what they wanted to bet on at this point in the season, but their postseason hopes haven’t faded yet.

A win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 would be a major step in the right direction. The Cardinals lead the NFC West at 5-4, but with the Rams and 49ers behind them at 4-4, they need to keep winning games to maintain that spot.

Let’s dive into the latest game odds and then I’ll predict the final outcome.

Total

The Cardinals opened as 1-point favorites, but the line has since flipped and the Jets are now set as 1-point favorites. The total has remained stable at 46.

In this week’s edition of “On the way to 272 bets“, I broke down why I’m rooting for the Jets to achieve a second straight win.

I bet on the Jets against the Texans last week because I felt they were much better than their record indicates and I still believe that this week when they face the Cardinals, a team that is in a big “high sell” situation.

The Cardinals are all offense, no defense. Their defense still ranks 28th in the league in opponent EPA per play, a glaring weakness for them.

Meanwhile, the Jets’ secondary remains one of the best in the league, leading the NFL in opponent dropback success rate and third in yards per pass attempt. If the Jets can move the ball offensively while slowing down the Cardinals’ passing attack, it will be difficult for Arizona to win this game.

When it comes to the total in this game, I’m leaning towards UNDER. The Jets’ offense is not built for big scoring, averaging just 19.0 points per game. They win based on their defense and if they win again in Week 10, it will be a low-scoring affair.

Final Result Prediction: Jets 24, Cardinals 16
