Schatz: I prefer the total to the spread here. Yes, Jets games tend to be low-scoring, but the Chargers have had a total over 40.5 in six of their seven games this season. Part of the issue there is that the Los Angeles defense has simply not been good this year, ranked 27th in DVOA right now. The Jets will be able to move the ball a little bit, and so will the Chargers, and so I'm going with over 40.5.

Moody: I am backing the Jets (+3.5) to cover the spread for this game. New York is playing at home, and the Chargers are traveling from the West Coast to the East Coast. This season, the Jets' defense has been strong, ranking ninth in run stop win rate and allowing the fifth fewest opponent passing yards per game. New York will be ready to compete on the national stage. This is going to be a close game, in my opinion. The Chargers are only 12-8-1 against the spread when they are road favorites since moving to Los Angeles.

Schatz: Define «turn it around,» I guess. To the team we thought they were going to be with Aaron Rodgers this year? Nope. But better than they were in September? Yes. The Jets ranked 31st in offensive DVOA in September compared with 24th in October. Their defensive DVOA has gone from 16th in September to
