Do It Yourself

for passing as qb Mark Sanchez has a weak 78.8 Quarterback rating and was awful this past week.  LaDainian Tomlinson possesses 544 yards rushing as well as a 5.0 yards per carry average with 5 touchdowns.  Defense continues to be the strength of the New York Jets as they rate second in the NFL for points granted.

The Detroit Lions have a record of 2-5 straight up and 6-1 with the NFL betting lines.  The Detroit Lions have gone over the total in five out of their seven competitions this season.  Detroit is arriving from a 37-25 home victory over Washington as they went over the total for the fourth straight competition.

Quarterback Matt Stafford came back from injury to pass for 212 yards and also 4 touchdowns in the win.  Detroit rates sixth in the league for scoring offense but only 26th for points granted on defense.

Detroit has demonstrated to be among the top values on the board and the Jets cannot afford anything less than their “A-Game” in this one.

The New York Jets have gotten the money in 8 of their past 9 road games and have covered the spread in 7 of their previous 10 as a favorite.  The Detroit Lions have covered only two their past 8 competitions with the NFL probabilities when arriving off a straight up win.

The New York Jets have gone over the absolute in their last 4 road games while Detroit has gone over the absolute in 15 of their last 20 when arriving from a cover vs the spread.
