Jets vs. Cardinals final score prediction for NFL Week 10 (New York earns second straight win)

The New York Jets are desperately trying to get back into the mix for a spot in the NFL Playoffs. A 3-6 record through the first nine weeks isn’t what they would have wanted to bet on at this point in the season, but their postseason hopes haven’t been completely dashed.

A win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 would be a major step in the right direction. The Cardinals lead the NFC West at 5-4, but with both the Rams and 49ers behind them at 4-4, they need to keep winning games to hold that spot.

Let’s take a look at the latest odds for the match and then I’ll predict the final score.

The Cardinals started as 1-point favorites, but the line has since reversed and now the Jets are set as 1-point favorites. The total remained stable at 46.

In this week’s edition of the “Road to 272 bets“, I explained why I support the Jets to record a second straight win.

I bet on the Jets against the Texans last week because I thought they were a lot better than their record indicates, and I still believe that this week when they take on the Cardinals they are a team that is in a huge ‘sell high’ position.

The Cardinals are all offense, no defense. Their defense still ranks 28th in the league in opponent EPA per game, a glaring weakness for them.

Meanwhile, the Jets’ secondary remains one of the best in the league, leading the NFL in opponent dropback success rate and ranking third in yards per opponent pass attempt. If the Jets can move the ball offensively while slowing down the Cardinals’ passing attack, it will be difficult for Arizona to win this game.

When it comes to totals in this game, I’m leaning towards the UNDER. The Jets offense isn’t built to put up huge scores, averaging just 19.0 points per game. They win based on their defense and if they win again in week 10, there will be little scoring.

Final score prediction: Jets 24, Cardinals 16
