Bookies.com: Bet on the Texans on the moneyline against the Jets

Bill Speros writes: “Happy Halloween. The Jets have been waiting for the Great Pumpkin since 1969. He won't be coming this year either. Who needs Michael Myers when you have Woody Johnson? Owner Johnson gave coach Robert Saleh a bag of them. “Three weeks ago, Aaron Rodgers was scared. He looked like a Walking Dead extra in a Sunday loss at New England -4-1 ATS. Maybe the Jets could don the scariest costume of all and emerge as a fully functioning franchise. More likely, it will be another “Nightmare at MetLife” as the house of horrors that is the Jets franchise continues its free fall in 2024.”
