NFL Picks: New York Jets vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL Betting Odds Week 14: After consecutive wins, the (6-6) New York Jets [-3½] will now put their playoff hopes on a backup quarterback, as they visit the sports betting odds underdog (1-11) Tampa Bay Buccaneers [+3½]. In what was supposed to be a matchup between two first round QBs going head-to-head, fans will only get half of the deal.
The Jets and the Bucs are set to kick it off at 1:05 PM ET (10:05 AM PT) live from Raymond James Stadium in Northern Florida’s west coast. According to NFL Betting Odds makers at BETUS.com, the OVER/UNDER for this New York Jets vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup is projected to have a combined final score of 36½ points scored.
For the Jets, Kellen Clemens will start in place of the injured Mark Sanchez today. With consecutive wins versus Carolina and Buffalo, New York has put itself in contention for a Wild Card spot. The fact that New England, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Houston and Baltimore all lost certainly helped the Jets’ cause.
Going into today’s game, Rex Ryan finds himself tied with Miami for second place in the AFC East. "I think you can make assumptions that our morale was down, but that was an assumption," Ryan said. "We still had a belief. I don't expect anyone else to believe it and I said that back then. Everybody in this building believes in this football team, that we can still accomplish things… this team is close. We're close to being a special football team. Nobody can deny that."
For the hosting Buccaneers, they have now lost 15 of their last 16 games dating back to last season. For first-year head coach Raheem Morris, losing isn’t something he would like his players to get accustomed to.
"You're talking about young guys who are going to bring you through this thing," Morris said. "You're talking about young guys who are going to get better and better … and grow together. If we were around here and were a veteran team and we had (an acceptance of losing), it would be a problem. But right now, we're a bunch of babies that are going to grow up together and get better together."
