Could the New York Jets’ hard-fought home win against Houston last week have been a positive catalyst for the season?

Only time will tell.

However, if the Jets can pull off a road win against Arizona this weekend, a potential backdoor playoff berth is much more palatable as their remaining schedule is fairly straightforward.

Let’s get our Jets vs. Breaking down Cardinals predictions and NFL picks for Sunday, November 10.

Jets vs. Cardinals odds

Jets vs. Cardinals prediction

(4:25 p.m. ET, CBS)

It was a tough first half of the 2024 regular season for the Jets, who lost six games, four of which were by one score or less.

Winning the AFC East is probably out of the question considering they are four games out of first place, but the Jets’ season is far from over.

In fact, they have an outside chance to secure a wild-card spot, as Cincinnati dropped another game on Thursday night to fall to 4-6 on the season.

Furthermore, the Denver Broncos, currently in the final Wild Card spot, will face the undefeated Chiefs this week and a formidable Falcons squad next week.

The Jets are just two games away from the playoffs despite a brutal start to the season. And the most recent 21-13 win over A could be the start of a run.

Meanwhile, Arizona has won three straight over Chicago, Los Angeles (Chargers) and Miami.

The Cardinals are now above .500 and a half game ahead of Los Angeles (Rams) in the NFC West.

In short, the stakes are sky high in this non-conference matchup.

And that’s why I’m focusing on the bottom in this game.

We saw a much more motivated and inspired Jets defense last week, holding a talented Texans offense to just 13 points.

And while the Jets have looked better on both sides of the ball, they still haven’t surpassed 22 points scored in the past six games, including two games with Davante Adams in the lineup.

Betting on the NFL?

The Jets’ secondary hasn’t quite lived up to high expectations this season, but it’s still a great unit, posting the fourth-best coverage percentage (PFF) and ranking second in both passing yards per game and completion percentage. the opponent.

Sure, James Conner and Kyler Murray will gain some yards on the ground, but the Jets defense seems more motivated and did a good job with Joe Mixon last week.

Sunday should be a low-scoring, grind-it-out affair.

Best Bet: Under 46.5 (-110, DraftKings)
