00:03Kicking off week number nine on this Thursday in MetLife.
00:06The Jets now a two and a half point home favorite against the Houston Texans.
00:10Vecchio, we ask you about the numbers often.
00:13Two and a half points spread in favor of New York at home.
00:16Short week Thursday night football, 42 and a half is the over-under, but it's not just
00:20the numbers.
00:21I guess it's kind of the belief in this game.
00:24If you believe the Jets will finally win a game when they are expected, you look at New
00:29York.
00:30If you don't believe that, you kind of think Houston is the right side.
00:34So how do you see this Thursday night playing out?
00:37Really tough.
00:38This game is super interesting for a variety of reasons.
00:40Like I said at the top, the Texans, the Texans, they're dealing with a ton of injuries.
00:44Obviously, the announcement that Diggs has done for the year, Nico Collins is still out
00:48for a few more weeks.
00:49And ultimately, what does their offense look like?
00:51And if they're forced into a passing game script, we've seen their offensive line be
00:55terrible.
00:56Right.
00:57They cannot protect CJ Stroud.
00:59That's actually one of the things that the Jets are good at, which is bringing pressure.
01:01So if there's any time for the Jets to actually have some success, it would be tonight on
01:06a short week versus a team that's clearly not healthy on injury.
01:09And like the thing that the Jets do well is the thing exactly that the Texans struggle
01:13with.
01:14So this should be the game for the Jets to right the ship after firing the head coach
01:19and training for Devonte Adams.
01:20And they just haven't been able to get on the right foot.
01:22Like this is the time for them to finally succeed.
01:24So if you believe in the Jets, I think they win this game and they absolutely do cover.
01:29But if you don't have any belief, then I think the Texans are live and I think it would be
01:33a big Joe mixing game ultimately.
