The NY Jets vs Cincinnati game will most likely be decide by which team decides to play defense. This game is a must win situation for these teams. The Jets, 1-4-1 ATS, finally got their running game in gear last week only to have their passing game fall flat on it’s face in a 9-16 loss at home vs Philly as +4 dogs. The Bengals, 2-3 ATS, showed some minor improvements on both sides of the ball but fell short on the road 20-27 against Kansas City as -1 favs. Sportsbook.com has the Cincinnati Bengals as -6.5 point favorites in the NY Jets vs Cincinnati Bengals game.
This a is a winnable game for the Bengals and it all starts with RB Rudi Johnson. Johnson has had nagging injuries but his 3.0 yard per carry average must improve for the Bengals to have more time of possession. Carson Palmer has a solid 88.1 passer rating but he has been flushed out of the pocket to often behind an offensive line that is weak. The Jets have only produced 6 sacks all year so Palmer could have some time in this game to the ball to his playmaking wideouts. Sportsbook.com has the over\under at 47.5 points.
Jets QB Chad Pennington has been inconsistent but his play isn’t entirely his fault. Pennington relies on the play action pass to be effective and if his running game isn’t clicking he tries to force to many plays with his weak arm. The planes play calling has also been predictable and more conservative than Rush Limbaugh. The Bengals defense has been gouged through the air and on the ground giving up an atrocious 31.2 PPG. Even as bad as the Cincy D has been the Jets offense can’t seem to find the end zone or protect their QB.
The Bengals have a slew of injuries on both sides of the ball but most significant is the status of starting RB Rudi Johnson who is doubtful, and their best player on D Ahmad Brooks who is also doubtful. The weather in Cincinnati will be warm and clear in the 70's. Can the Bengals snap out of their 1-7 funk? Are the Jets going to be able to enough points on the board against a team that can score at anytime?
