NFL 2024/25: Jaguars – Jets

It’s crazy how reality can suddenly turn former NFL favorites into insignificant teams in 2024 that won’t even make the playoffs. And how the NYJ have disappointed me in this regard…

Ultimately, the “Green Gang” should still get the upper hand in this duel, at least that’s my assumption in my Jaguars Jets tip. Because the “Jags” have just released Taylor Lawrence into the offseason and thus indirectly already raised the white flag…

You wonder what the form curve of these two teams looks like and what that means for the upcoming game? Then buckle up, because we have a lot to analyze!

The Jacksonville Jaguars – or just the Jags – have a record of 3-10 – just like their opponents. In the last game, however, they managed to surprise me with a narrow 10-6 victory over the Titans.

However, Tennessee is a team that couldn’t be more average and often beats itself. But I could well imagine a similarly low number of points in the upcoming duel against the Jets as well.

This only third success of the “Jags” was thus more due to the weak opponent than to their own strength. Mac Jones completed 220 passing yards, but also threw two interceptions – not exactly a confidence-inspiring performance.

The running game was equally disappointing at 2.7 yards per attempt, and overall the Jaguars are only managing 297.2 yards per game. This puts them in 28th place in the league, a clear indicator of a weak offense.

If the Jaguars want to stand a chance here, they need to focus on being more efficient in the red zone and playing a flawless game.

But one thing is clear: if they repeat their weak offensive performance from the game against the Titans, they will lose 9 out of 10 NFL games in the long run.

Let’s move on to the New York Jets, also known to you as the “Gang Green”. This team also has a poor record of 3-10 and lost its last game 26-32 to the Dolphins.

Aaron Rodgers showed that he is still a dangerous weapon: 339 passing yards and a strong rating of 104.5 underline his quality.

However, the Jets’ running game remains a major problem, with just 83 rushing yards in the last game and a league average of just 87 yards per game (31st).

Without a strong rushing game, the pass-heavy offense of the NYJ remains far too predictable for opponents…

Defensively, however, New York is a different story: they only allow an average of 306.8 passing yards, good for 4th in the league.

The Jets are particularly strong against the pass, allowing only 186.9 passing yards per game and a completion rate of 62%. Their weakness, however, is in run defense, where they are in the lower midfield with 119.9 rushing yards per game.

All this leads me to believe that the “point spread” set by Oddset at 40.5 points will in all likelihood not be exceeded.

And now the question: Who could win this game? With Rodgers, the Jets have a clear strength in the passing game and a solid defense to keep the Jaguars in check.

Jacksonville, on the other hand, has little to offer offensively without Taylor Lawrence and will therefore have a harder time against the Jets’ compact passing defense.

The key will be how well New York can run the ball, because here Jacksonville is vulnerable with one of the weakest defenses in the league.

Conclusion: The outcome of this game probably won’t interest anyone, but overall I think the guests are in slightly better shape.

Their running game doesn’t convince me, even if it could help them score against these weak Jags.

But apart from this aspect, the New Yorkers are superior to their opponents in almost all areas, so I ultimately expect the guest team to win.

My Jaguars Jets tip in a nutshell: NYJ win & under 49.5 points.
