Titans at Jets Odds

This New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans AFC match-up for Week 3 is very intriguing. If you would have guessed which team would be 2-0 and which would be 0-2 at this point in the season, chances are you would have thought the Titans would be the ones sitting without a loss. Now, Tennessee needs a win to avoid falling to 0-3. The lines for this game have the Jets -3 over the Titans with a total set of 37 points.

Rex Ryan is already putting his stamp on the Jets’ defense after coming over from Baltimore to serve as New York’s head coach. Ryan’s stop unit has allowed just 16 points this season in a 24-7 win over the Texans in Week 1 and a 16-9 victory last week over the Patriots. They haven’t given up a touchdown from scrimmage in back-to-back games, the first time since doing it three straight in 1993. They gave up a fumble return in Week 1 against Houston, the only time their opposition has found the end zone. New England’s mighty offense was held in check last week, as Tom Brady and company managed just 254 yards of total offense, and their star QB was pressured the entire game. Mark Sanchez has completed over 60% of his passes for 435 yards and two touchdowns thus far, clearly not disappointing after being selected as the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft. The Jets started 5-0 in 2005, the last time the Jets have won 3 straight games to start a season. They’ll need their defense to come up big again this week if they are to overcome a hungry Titans’ team.

The Titans started on a 10-game winning streak last year, but that was abruptly ended with a 34-13 home loss to the Jets. Tennessee will be looking to return that favor this time around. The Titans have lost back-to-back heartbreakers by 3 points both to the Steelers and Texans. They blew a 21-7 lead over Houston last week and wasted 284 yards from scrimmage by running back Chris Johnson. All three of Johnson’s touchdowns were more than 50 yards last week, and the Jets will have their hands full in trying to stop one of the most explosive backs in the league. QB Kerry Collins is putting up good numbers, with 460 passing yards and three touchdowns while completing 63.2 percent of his passes. His problem is three turnovers already after committing just 8 turnovers all of last season.
