2024 New York Jets Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl

by Ryan Cobbett - 8/31/2024

Thanks to the Aaron Rodgers Achilles injury early in the season, the New York Jets 2023 season was derailed, and they limped their way to a 7-10 record, despite being a playoff caliber team heading into the year. Their offense struggled the whole season, averaging just 15.8 PPG, which ranked 29th in the NFL, and their 268.6 YPG was ranked 31st.

With Rodgers missing the season, the shortcomings of Zach Wilson really hurt the Jets last season. In 12 games, Wilson threw for just 2,271 yards with a lowly 60.1% CMP% with eight touchdowns. He did have four fumbles and seven interceptions last season. Behind Wilson was just more disaster. Trevor Siemian appeared in five games and finished with 724 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions, while Tim Boyle threw for 360 yards and one touchdown in his three appearances. Breece Hall was reliable out of the backfield, leading the team with 994 yards and five touchdowns on 223 carries. The Jets finished with just seven rushing touchdowns on the year. Garrett Wilson has proven to be one of the top wideouts in the league, as he finished with 1,042 yards and three touchdowns, even with the QB struggles. Hall got involved in the pass game as well and finished with 591 yards and four touchdowns, his four receiving touchdowns led the team.

As for the defense, this was a solid group. The Jets defense ranked third in the NFL in allowed YPG, holding opponents to just 292.3 YPG, while their 20.9 allowed PPG ranked 12th in the league. The real highlight is the Jets secondary that ranked second in the league last season after allowing just 168.3 passing YPG. Linebackers C.J. Moseley and Quincy Williams made their presence felt last season, as Moseley finished with 151 tackles (8th) and Williams finished with 139 (13th), giving the Jets two of the league’s Top 15 tacklers. Safety Jordan Whitehead led the team with four interceptions, while Sauce Gardner led the Jets with 12 pass deflections. Defensive end Bryce Huff was the team leader in sacks, as he finished the year with 10.

New York Jets Key Additions/Losses

The Jets lost a lot of depth in the trenches. They lost offensive tackles Mekhi Becton and Duane Brown, center Connor McGovern, as well as defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson and edge rusher Bryce Huff. The secondary took a hit by losing safety Jordan Whitehead and cornerback Bryce Hall, as well as wide receiver Randall Cobb.

They added depth at the offensive line by adding John Simpson, Tyron Smith, and Morgan Moses as well as on the defensive line by adding Leki Fotu and Javon Kinlaw. Tyrod Taylor was brought in to back up Aaron Rodgers, while they brought in veteran wide receiver Mike Williams and cornerback Isaiah Oliver.

New York Jets New Kids on the Block

New York continued to add to their offensive line in the draft by adding Olumuyiwa Fashanu, who may be the best offensive tackle in this past draft. They added skill players to their offense in wide receiver Malachi Corley, who tore it up at Western Kentucky, tough runner Braelon Allen out of Wisconsin, while they also added quarterback Jordan Travis.

New York Jets X-Factors

Health- We all saw what injuries did to the Jets last season. Their QB room depth got better in the event of another Aaron Rodgers injury, but the offensive line depth is somewhat questionable, and they do not have a lot of snaps together as a unit. Breece Hall needs to stay healthy and lead the running back room, while new receiver Mike Williams is often injured, However, if he can stay healthy, opposing defenses will have to give him some attention, opening the field up for Wilson.

Culture- There have been all kinds of issues regarding the team culture for the Jets, and that is never a good thing with the season on the horizon. This team lacks leadership and has problems in multiple position rooms. With the division more open with the Bills taking a step back, it would be a shame for Jets season to be derailed because of culture issues.

New York Jets Schedule Breakdown

Predicted Win Total: 9.5 Games

The Jets have a tale of two halves in their schedule. The first half of the schedule is very friendly, and the Jets should head into Week 6 at 4-1. After opening the season in San Francisco (loss), they play @ Tennessee, New England, Denver, and Minnesota (who is devasted with injuries right now). However, the back half of the schedule is tough, with their season ending with a nightmare five-game stretch of @ Miami, @ Jacksonville, the Rams, @ Buffalo, and Miami at home. There are five wins on the schedule, five losses, and seven toss up games. Of the toss up games, four of them are at home, but they would need to go 5-2 in such games in order for them to hit the over on the win total.

New York Jets Predictions

With questionable depth and culture issues, I am going to take the under on the Jets win total. I think nine wins is the best-case scenario for the Jets, and I think this division is Miami’s to lose. It’s hard to get behind a team that has issues inside the locker before the season, especially when it’s a veteran laden team. Rodgers is getting older and coming off a big injury. And while there are studs across the roster, I do not think the Jets are a playoff team. Give me the under 9.5 on the win total.
