Jets Win Total Odds See Movement Following Zach Wilson Injury
What is the BetQL Model projecting for the Jets amid the Wilson news?
Lucy Burdge - Aug 15, 2022, 1:58pm EDTZach Wilson's start to this preseason with the Jets has not been ideal. The second-year quarterback went down with a bone bruise and a meniscus tear in his knee in the very first quarter of the first game of the preseason on Saturday and he will undergo arthroscopic surgery.
While this injury certainly could have been worse, it is still unclear whether or not Wilson will be ready for Week 1. Should he still be on the mend, Mike White or Joe Flacco could step in to take his place. And if it's Flacco, he would be facing his former team in the Ravens in that Week 1 game.
In the the wake of this rough start for the Jets, the team's odds for the under on their win total of 5.5 games have seen some slight movement. Before the injury, the under was at +130 and now those odds have shortened to +100. The Jets finished at 4-13 last season.
Let's take a look at the team's other odds for this season and what BetQL's Model is projecting for them in the year ahead.

Let's take a look at the team's other odds for this season and what BetQL's Model is projecting for them in the year ahead.
BetQL is projecting the Jets have a 7-percent chance to make the playoffs and a 2-percent chance win the division. So not great, but not a 0-percent chance. Their odds to make the playoffs at FanDuel are +710, while their odds to miss the playoffs are -1200. Their odds to win the AFC East are at +2000.
Following the Wilson injury, the Model projects the Jets will win 6.3 games, to barely go over their win total of 5.5, but still not a winning record by any means.
Hopefully for Wilson he won't miss too much time past Week 1 and can seamlessly return to the field once he recovers.
