I would to preface by saying yes, I am a Jets fan, and yes I know they havent scored a TD in the preseason. With that said, I think they might be the bet of the year in week 1 at home against buffalo only giving 3 points and here is some reasons why.
The media has been making a joke of the Jets in the preseason, rightfully so, they havent done anything right? True. But here's the thing. Rex and Tony HAVENT done anything yet either! The asked to have camera's turned off during camp, they were asked not to run the wildcat or any "special" plays, in other words they did not show their new offense schemes and what they plan to do with Tebow and the rest of the offense. Why? well why not? Why show your hand? I understand that the wild cat didnt pan out to be the best offensive strategy, but the dolphins had great success with it in 2008, and lets face it, Ronnie Brown was being asked to throw the football, not Tim Tebow. Tebow isnt a elite QB at the throwing level but he is a hell of a lot more capable than Ronnie Brown. I am not saying the wild cat is be all end all because its not, and defenses , film study, good coaches can stop the wildcat. I dont personally think the Jets will be able to effectively run any special offense for more than a few weeks because teams will catch on and adjust. But what I can say is that BUffalo has NO IDEA what the Jets are going to do in week 1, therefore, they have no game plan. I shouldnt say they have no game plan, they do, but what are they planning for? They dont know. I would like to think the Jets with their regular offense can beat buffalo at home by more than 3 points. I am extremely confident that with Tebow, some trick plays, wild cat, different looks that they will dominate buffalo and they will have no idea how to stop it. This is only a one or two week betting advantage that we have with the Jets because it will get slowed down immediately once coaches start figuring it out.
I dont think the Jets are an 8-8 team, they may only have 5 wins, and the new offense with Sporano and Tebow could suck by week 3, I will admit that, but I think the money and the value on the Jets comes in weeks 1 and 2 when the opposing teams cannot really plan for something they have no idea is going to happen. Am I way off with this thinking here?
I have to take the JETS -3 against BUFFALO in week 1, it seems like a no brainer.
I appreciate any comments to this. This isnt a homer bet, this is simply a bet where I think one team has a clear advantage over another team regardless of what team name is on the front of their jerseys.
