Seahawks vs Jets Prediction

The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks have looked good in their games this season with their 6-5 record overall which leads the NFC West in a tight race. They are coming off a 16-6 win over the Cardinals in their last one, that win giving them a ton of momentum as it put them back on top of the division, and they have looked better in their road games this year with their 3-1 road record. Meanwhile, the Jets have looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-8 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AFC East and pretty much out of the playoff race. Aaron Rodgers has been a complete disaster for this team and he continues to make the team worse each week. At this point, they don't have much left to play for this season and there have already been talks about Rodgers not being on the team next season. They are coming out of their bye week, but they lost their last one at home to the Colts by 1 point and continue to find ways to lose games. Their defense has also been getting worse since firing Robert Saleh while the Seahawks are starting to show some improvement on that end. The Seahawks also have a ton of weapons on offense to do some damage here, and Geno Smith has looked better than Rodgers throughout the entire season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.
