The New York Jets host the Baltimore Ravens tonight in front of a national audience on ESPN at 7:00 EDT. This is one of the games that was circled the moment the NFL schedule was released. Both of these teams are expected to contend in the AFC for the right to go to the Super Bowl. The Jets are 2 point home favorites tonight, with a total of 36.5 points expected.
The moment is finally here, as the "Hard Knocks" team finally takes the field when it matters. There might not be another team in the NFL that made more news in the offseason than the New York Jets. From LaDanian Tomlinson to Darrelle Revis to Coach Rex Ryan, New York is the team that everyone has an opinion of whether it's out of love or spite. Coach Ryan would like nothing more that to beat the team that made him famous, so this game is clearly going to be played with passion. New York originally opened up as a 3 point home favorite, but this line is dropping. QB Mark Sanchez will be expected to manage a clean game, as he can ill afford to have any costly turnovers against this Ravens defense. The AFC East projects to be one of the toughest divisions in football, so the Jets need to pick up every home win they can. Defensively, New York figures to be far better with Revis playing and under contract. The Jets are 5-2-1 ATS in their past 8 Week 1 games.
The Jets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in September. The Over is 5-1 in their last 6 Monday games.
Baltimore is a team that's flying under the radar, so what better opportunity to state their dominance than against a former coach in front of a national audience? Baltimore is always going to be a defensive team first, but they've added some offensive talent in the offseason. QB Joe Flacco is expected to make the step up to elite status this year, and WR acquisitions of Anquan Boldin and T.J. Houshmandzadeh are sure to help. Include these receiving options with the duel threat of RB Ray Rice, and you have an offense that can be dynamic. The Ravens finally have an offense to match their world class defense, and a very balanced offense at that. The Ravens defensive leader will always be LB Ray Lewis, for as long as he plays. Lewis will try to rally the troops to beat their former coach. Surprisingly, Baltimore is a team that typically plays to the over when they are on Monday Night Football. Baltimore hasn't received the same amount of press that the Jets have this offseason, but the Ravens are anxious to prove they made the better transactions overall.
The Ravens are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games in September. The Over is 8-3 in their last 11 Monday games.
Pregame.com projects the final score to be 24-17 in favor of the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens +2 is the Side of the Day!
