New York Jets (1-3) at San Diego Chargers (3-1)
The Chargers are in the better spot here. While they only have to deal with the Raiders in Oakland next week, the Jets have to deal with the Broncos at home, a much tougher game. Teams are 52-26 ATS as non-divisional home favorites before being divisional road favorites since 2008, while non-divisional road underdogs are 90-118 ATS since 2002 before being non-divisional home underdogs. On top of that, teams are 57-37 ATS since 2010 before being 3+ point road favorites, while teams are 28-69 ATS since 2010 before being 6+ point home underdogs. Teams are also 57-87 ATS since 2002 as road underdogs before being home underdogs when their opponent will next be road favorites.
I also feel like we’re getting a little bit of line value with the Chargers. This line is 6.5 and the Chargers are definitely more than 3.5 points better than the Jets, especially with no distractions on the horizon and the Jets going into arguably their toughest game of the season. Also hurting the Jets, Eric Decker might not play in this one and he’s easily their best wide receiver. The Chargers should be the right side here.
