There’s a Thursday game on this week’s NFL schedule, and it will be played between the New York Jets (5-4) and the Denver Tebows Broncos (4-5).
NFL betting odds show that the road-team Jets are 6-point favorites with a total of 40, and both lines have seen their fair share of movement.
New York opened up at -4.5 with a total of 42.5, yet they’ve been adjusted in the past few days.
The Jets are garnering close to 70% of all tracked bets on this game despite a 1-3 record on the road.
That being said, the Broncos are just 1-3 at home and have gotten most of their big wins away from Denver.
These teams last met up in 2010 when New York won 24-20 on the road as 3.5-point favorites.
The Broncos have won outright in 2 of the 3 head-to-head meetings since 2005, and they’ve covered the spread in both of their victories.
The over has been a winner in the last 2 straight between the Jets and the Broncos.
New York running back LaDainian Tomlinson has been ruled out of action with a sprained left MCL, while the Jets are also expected to be without shifty wide receiver Jeremy Kerley.
The Broncos have some running back issues of their own with Knowshon Moreno out for the year with a torn ACL and Willis McGahee currently listed as probable with a hamstring injury.
Denver tackle Ryan Clady is also considered probable with a leg injury.
The Broncos have won 3 of their last 4 games, but lost 10-45 to the Detroit Lions in their only home game during that stretch.
New York had won 3 straight games while covering the point spread every time out before last weekend’s embarrassing 16-37 home loss to the New England Patriots.
