Week 3 NFL Picks: Predictions for Vegas’ Final Odds, Props on Sunday’s Schedule

Take a look at the New York Jets offense and ask yourself if it resembles any other attack the team has had in recent years.

The answer to that question is a loud “no.” In past seasons, the quarterback play was mediocre or worse, the receivers struggled and the running game was overworked.

The 2016 Jets are capable of piling up points with big plays and long drives. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick helped turn the team around last year, and he looks even better this season.

Wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker are capable of making big plays and lighting up the scoreboard. Meanwhile, new acquisition Matt Forte has pumped up the running attack and given the Jets additional versatility with his stellar skills as a receiver. 

The Jets are coming off a Week 2 victory at Buffalo, and they play the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

The Chiefs, who are coming off an unimpressive loss to the Houston Texans after rallying late for a Week 1 over the San Diego Chargers, are three-point favorites, according to Odds Shark.

The Chiefs have been outplayed in seven of the eight quarters they have played this year. Their offensive attack appears cautious and predictable to this point in the season, and their defense is not playing its best football.

The Jets may be the only AFC East team capable of giving the New England Patriots a fight. Look for the Jets to jump out to a lead over the Chiefs in the first half and hang on for a straight-up victory as the underdog.
