Jets Strength of Schedule
The Jets’ schedule ranks sixth in the NFL when considering the cumulative victory total of their opponents’ opponents from the previous season (155). According to our projections, the Jets’ schedule is the fourth toughest this season. New York’s schedule is ranked 12th in the league based on its opponents’ 151 expected wins this season.
The Jets will play nine teams with winning records in 2023, including two teams with five or less victories last year and five teams with victories of 12 or more. Last season, New York had a perfect 1-0 record when the spread was 7.5 points or more, but only one win in four games when the spread was seven points or less.
Conclusion
Even though the schedule looks really rough for the Jets, the fact is that they now finally have an offense (by picking up Aaron Rodgers) which can keep their already stout defense off the field. Expect them to go at least .500 in their division (which is the toughest in the league) and to go above .500 when facing foes from outside of it. The Jets winning 10 out of 17 games is probable.
