00:00It was the odds optimism backing Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets, who now, as you can

00:09see, second best price, but at five to one.

00:12We're still not sure, even when Tua Tungabailoa is eligible to return, what it means for Miami.

00:18Third best number, and frankly, the Patriots are a one in five football team, and look

00:23about as competitive as we expected, as we thought entering the year.

00:28We'll get to the Jets in just a second.

00:31So now, Joe, with the focus on New York, squandering yet another opportunity last night.

00:39The Jets have a win total updated of seven and a half.

00:42The playoff price is plus 164.

00:45That was probably bare minimum.

00:47Even after the change in the coaching room, to fire Robert Sala, to elevate Todd Downing,

00:53you had to snap the 13-year playoff drought, which made Monday night, yesterday in MetLife,

00:59that much more significant, even in week six.

01:02For whatever reason, the Jets come up short.

01:05They are a losing football team that often finds ways to actively squander a lead and

01:12lose a golden opportunity.

01:14Joe, what is your outlook for the New York Jets?

01:17How big of a blow was the loss last night to Buffalo?

01:23It's a huge blow, and I think Josh Allen had said it afterward, it's a big difference sitting

01:29four and two up two games here, and already have one against the Jets in the books, as

01:35opposed to sitting in second place, three and three, and being all in one against the

01:38Jets.

01:39It was a huge game for the future of the AFC East, and he said it right.

01:45Our goal is to make the playoffs, and the easiest way to do that is to win the division.

01:49It's a winnable division, and whoever won that game last night was going to have a leg

01:54up on doing just that.

01:56And unfortunately for the Jets, they had everything going in their direction, motivation, changes,

02:02they have Aaron Rodgers, they got everything they needed in order to win that game, except

02:08one team was able to make enough plays to win it, which shows, to me, experience, and

02:13it shows that you have a quarterback that understands the situation.

02:17You gotta win games during the season, Ben, that you're not at your best, you just win,

02:22and you get the hell out, and that's what the Bills did, and the Jets are still looking

02:26for that win this year, and before you know it, the season could be over before they actually

02:31get one.
