Bookies.com: Bet the Texans on the moneyline vs Jets
Bill Speros writes: “Happy Halloween. The Jets have been waiting for the Great Pumpkin since 1969. It won’t be coming this year, either. Who needs Michael Myers when you have Woody Johnson? Owner Johnson gave coach Robert Saleh a bag of rocks 3 weeks ago. Aaron Rodgers has been spooked all season. He looked like an extra out of the “Walking Dead” in a Sunday loss at New England. The Texans have been giving their backers off-brand candy corn this season, going 3-4-1 ATS. Maybe the Jets could put on the scariest costume of all and show up as a fully functional franchise. More likely, it will be another “Nightmare at MetLife” as the house of horrors that is the Jets franchise continues its free fall in 2024.”
