An unstoppable force meets stoppable Jets
THE STORY
The Jets take a crosscountry flight to meet the Seahawks at Lumen Field on Sunday.
The Jets (0-12), the NFL’s last remaining winless team, are coming off a 31–28 loss as a 7-point home underdog to the Raiders. After failing to cover a point spread in any of their first six games of 2020, the Jets have posted a 4–2 againstthe-spread mark over the past six games.
After winning and covering each of their first four games of the 2020 season, the Seahawks (8-4) come into this one having gone 4–4 straight-up and 2–6 against the spread over their past eight outings. Seattle is coming off a 17–12 loss to the Giants as a double-digit home favorite this past Sunday.
The Jets’ odds to beat Seattle opened at +500 at FOX Bet Sportsbook, which implies they have a 17 percent chance of winning.
THE HISTORY
The Seahawks have gotten the better of this headto-head series in recent seasons, going 3–0 both straight up and against the spread when facing the Jets since the start of the 2008 season. This is the first meeting between the teams since Seattle’s 27–17 victory as a 1-point road favorite in October
2016. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was the star of that game, throwing for 309 yards and three touchdowns.
This time around, FOX Bet Sportsbook is offering odds of +225 for Russell Wilson and Sam Darnold each to throw for at least 250 yards.
THE STARS OF THE SHOW
After entering 2020 without a 100-yard receiving game since November 2017, Jets receiver Jamison Crowder — listed as questionable for Sunday’s game — has reached the century mark three times in the eight games he has played this season. That includes two 100yard efforts in the four contests he has played with quarterback Sam Darnold on the field. In those four games, the veteran receiver has scored three touchdowns while averaging 74.3 receiving yards per game.
FOX Bet Sportsbook is offering +350 odds on Jamison Crowder to rack up 75 or more receiving yards and to score at least one touchdown against Seattle on Sunday.
On the other side of the field, DK Metcalf leads the NFL with 1,119 receiving yards. Metcalf has surpassed 90 receiving yards in eight of Seattle’s 12 games, and he leads the team with nine touchdowns. He racked up a career-high 177 yards on 10 receptions in a 23–17 victory over Philadelphia in Week 12 before catching five passes for 80 yards in Seattle’s loss to the Giants this past Sunday.
Exclusively at FOX Bet Sportsbook, you can win 4x your money if both DK Metcalf and Jamison Crowder tally 75 or more receiving yards on
Sunday.
