00:00It was the odds optimism backing Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets, who now, as you can
00:09see, second best price, but at five to one.
00:12We're still not sure, even when Tua Tungabailoa is eligible to return, what it means for Miami.
00:18Third best number, and frankly, the Patriots are a one in five football team, and look
00:23about as competitive as we expected, as we thought entering the year.
00:28We'll get to the Jets in just a second.
00:31So now, Joe, with the focus on New York, squandering yet another opportunity last night.
00:39The Jets have a win total updated of seven and a half.
00:42The playoff price is plus 164.
00:45That was probably bare minimum.
00:47Even after the change in the coaching room, to fire Robert Sala, to elevate Todd Downing,
00:53you had to snap the 13-year playoff drought, which made Monday night, yesterday in MetLife,
00:59that much more significant, even in week six.
01:02For whatever reason, the Jets come up short.
01:05They are a losing football team that often finds ways to actively squander a lead and
01:12lose a golden opportunity.
01:14Joe, what is your outlook for the New York Jets?
01:17How big of a blow was the loss last night to Buffalo?
01:23It's a huge blow, and I think Josh Allen had said it afterward, it's a big difference sitting
01:29four and two up two games here, and already have one against the Jets in the books, as
01:35opposed to sitting in second place, three and three, and being all in one against the
01:38Jets.
01:39It was a huge game for the future of the AFC East, and he said it right.
01:45Our goal is to make the playoffs, and the easiest way to do that is to win the division.
01:49It's a winnable division, and whoever won that game last night was going to have a leg
01:54up on doing just that.
01:56And unfortunately for the Jets, they had everything going in their direction, motivation, changes,
02:02they have Aaron Rodgers, they got everything they needed in order to win that game, except
02:08one team was able to make enough plays to win it, which shows, to me, experience, and
02:13it shows that you have a quarterback that understands the situation.
02:17You gotta win games during the season, Ben, that you're not at your best, you just win,
02:22and you get the hell out, and that's what the Bills did, and the Jets are still looking
02:26for that win this year, and before you know it, the season could be over before they actually
02:31get one.
