The New York Jets have alternated wins and losses over their first seven games this season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York has alternated wins and losses over its first seven games of the season, as it comes off a 30-27 overtime win over the New England Patriots as 3.5-point home underdogs last Sunday.\u00a0 With four sacks against the Patriots, the Jets are third in the league with 24 on the season, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NFL expert picks in Week 8.\u00a0 Defensively, the team ranks fourth in the league in allowing 302.6 yards per game, while leading all teams in giving up just 3.1 rushing yards per attempt.\u00a0 New York is 5-2 ATS in its last seven overall games.<\/p>\n

The Jets are led on the offensive end by quarterback Geno Smith, who completed 17 of 33 passes for 233 yards with one touchdown and one interception last week.\u00a0 He\u2019s completed 60.8 percent of his passes for 1,019 yards with seven touchdowns in the team\u2019s wins, while connecting on just 55.3 percent of his throws in defeats.\u00a0 The franchise has won nine of its past 10 meetings in this series.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati has won three games in a row, including back-to-back road wins over the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills\u2014going OVER the betting total in each of those contests.\u00a0 The Bengals have won four one-score games, and the contest they won by 10 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers was tied at halftime.\u00a0 This year marks the first time the team has won its first three home games in head coach Marvin Lewis\u2019 11 seasons on the sidelines.\u00a0 Cincinnati is 10-1 SU and 6-3-2 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points, with the\u00a0 UNDER going 6-5 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Bengals will need to sure up their pass defense in this matchup, as they allowed a season-high 357 yards passing to Detroit\u2019s Matthew Stafford in Week 7.\u00a0 Cincinnati will have to play without the services of top cornerback Leon Hall, who is out for the season after tearing his right Achilles tendon.\u00a0 Offensively, quarterback Andy Dalton will find it tough to move the football, especially since the unit may become one dimensional due to its inability to run the ball.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the OVER is 21-10 in the Jets last 31 road games.<\/p>\n
