Dave Tuley, senior reporter at VSiN.com, is in his third season with the Post’s Bettor’s Guide. His handicapping pieces appear in VSiN’s online magazine, Point Spread Weekly. Home team in CAPS.
NEW YORK JETS (+7) over Miami Dolphins
J-E-T-S, COVER, COVER, COVER! The Jets still stink and can’t find the way to the winner’s circle, but they’re not as hopeless as oddsmakers and the betting public continue to make them. They rallied to cover as 9.5-point road underdogs in a 34-28 loss at the LA Chargers on Sunday after covering as 9-point home ’dogs in a 30-27 loss to the Patriots on “Monday Night Football” in Week 9. Whether it’s Joe Flacco or the return of Sam Darnold, the Jets can stay within a touchdown of the overrated Dolphins, who were upset 20-13 as popular 4-point favorites at Denver on Sunday.
Tennessee Titans (+4) over INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
This is for the AFC South lead. These teams just met in the Week 10 Thursday nighter with the Colts pulling away to a 34-17 victory as the Titans lost their third in four games. However, the Titans showed in Sunday’s 30-24 OT win at Baltimore that they’re still a contender. The Colts have the league’s top-rated defense, but the Titans have a balanced attack with QB Ryan Tannehill and RB Derrick Henry and we’re expecting coach Mike Vrabel to have a better game plan and turn the tables in the rematch.
Last week: 1-1, Jets (W), Jaguars (L).
2020 season: 10-11-1.
