OUR PREDICTION: The under is 4-1 in the Jets’ last five games overall, is 9-3 in their last 12 road games, and is 7-1-1 in their last nine games coming off a loss. While the Raiders have the fire power to help push the total over, I just don’t trust the Jets. They have one of the worst offenses in the NFL and the Raiders showed marked improvement defensively last week versus the Titans. I like the under here.
