Jets take over as AFC East betting favorites ahead of 2024 NFL season

The New York Jets are the favorites in the AFC East heading into the 2024 NFL season. 

Gang Green is currently sitting at +160 to take the division, outpacing the Bills (+195), Dolphins (+210) and Patriots (+2600) at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Jets have taken the top spot on the oddsboard as money poured in on them this offseason. 

As recently as late March, the Jets were the third-favorite behind Buffalo and Miami to win the division. 

The AFC East is expected to be among the most competitive in the NFL. 

It’s the only division in the league with three teams at +210 or better to win it at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Jets also have the longest odds among all six divisional favorites. 

Their win total is still at 9.5, where it sat throughout the summer, although there’s a ton of juice (-162) on the over.

The Jets are also expected to be a playoff team in what they hope to be Aaron Rodgers’ first full season at -176, which are the fifth-best odds in the AFC and 10th-best odds in football.

On the Super Bowl oddsboard, the Jets are tied with the Cowboys and Packers for the ninth-best odds (+1800) at taking home the Lombardi Trophy. 

They will kick off their season on Monday, Sept. 9 in Santa Clara against the 49ers as 3.5-point road underdogs.

The Jets’ divisional fate could be decide in the last two weeks with a Week 17 road game against the Bills on tap and the Dolphins coming to MetLife Stadium to close the season.

Those teams went 3-1 against the Jets last year, with Gang Green upsetting Buffalo at home in overtime in Week 1 despite losing Rodgers.
