New York Jets v Los Angeles Rams

The Jets have only won 13 games over their last three campaigns, and they have one of the toughest schedules in the NFL. But regardless, head coach Robert Selah has every reason to be optimistic about their future.

Second-year Zach Wilson will be integral to their success. Wilson threw for 2,334 yards, nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2021. The BYU alumni suffered 44 sacks last season, but the Jets have upgraded their offensive line. If Wilson can stay upright and produce, New York will be a very different prospect in this campaign.

Wilson has a pair of familiar faces to target this season as his top two wideouts return. Elijah Moore and Corey Davis combined for 1,030 receiving yards with nine touchdowns and 18 plays of 20 plus yards. Rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson is also expected to make a huge impact this season.

Rookie running back Breece Hall has looked good thus far in camp. If Michael Carter can remain healthy, they will form an incredible one-two punch out of the backfield.

Their defense surrendered the league's worst offensive yards per game (397) while also allowing the most points per game (29.6). They’ve upgraded a bit, but it’s going to take some time for this unit to gel.

With only five games against teams coming off sub .500 seasons (four at home), New York may have trouble outscoring many teams on their schedule. They could easily play well and still go 0-10 to start the season. The Jets offense should put points on the board, but can the defense come together quickly enough to give their budding offense a chance to win?

Prediction: New York Jets UNDER 5.5 wins.
