The Jets are putting up 21.9 points per game, and their tough defense is only allowing 14.7 points per game. San Diego is averaging 28.4 PPG, and their defense is giving up just under three scores at 20 points per game. The mathematical prediction for this game is San Diego 21 Jets 17. Can the Jets cover the +7 point spread bet the AFC underdogs at Bodog.com

The Jets have been relying on their exceptional run game averaging 172.2 yards per game, and a stout defense that only allows two touchdowns per game. But the key question here is Mark Sanchez has thrown 13 touchdowns, to 20 interceptions. The Jets have won their last three games including back-to-back wins against Cincinnati, and a 29-15 victory at Indianapolis.

On the other hand, you have the red-hot QB Philip Rivers throwing for 4254 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only 9 picks. The key matchup here will be wide receiver Vincent Jackson going up against shutdown corner Darrelle Revis. Can the red-hot pass attack of Philip Rivers, and the elusive Londinium Tomlinson and Darren Sproles charged past the Jets? Bet the AFC favorites at Bodog.com

Prediction this game looks much too tight for a seven point spread, so I like the Jets to cover +7. I also like the under in this game, with the Jets solid defense.
