As the draft season winds down, teams typically cease making significant moves, having allocated their cap space to free agents and utilized their draft picks. Thus, now seems opportune to assess the New York Jets’ prospects for the 2024 season. For this evaluation, I’ll reference DraftKings’ betting lines, extracted around 4 PM on May 8th, 2024.
Here are the Jets’ betting lines for the season:
– To make the playoffs: -135 (implying a 57.45% chance)
– To win the division: +200 (implying a 33.33% chance)
– To win the AFC: +1100 (implying an 8.33% chance)
– To win the Super Bowl: +2000 (implying a 4.76% chance)
Overall, this outlook appears favorable. The odds suggest that the Jets have a greater probability of making the playoffs than not, around 57%. Additionally, their chances of achieving other successes exceed those of an average team. Although statistically, each team in the AFC East should have a 25% chance of winning the division, the Jets’ odds surpass this figure. Similarly, their prospects of winning the AFC and the Super Bowl surpass the expected probabilities for an average team.
