Jets' Win-Loss Predictions for 2023 NFL Season | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
The Jets can hit their stride in December and January.
They open the final six-game stretch with home contests against the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans.
After that, they visit the Dolphins and then welcome the Washington Commanders to MetLife Stadium on Christmas Eve.
A quick turnaround faces the Jets for a Week 17 Thursday night game in Cleveland, but that is still a winnable game, as is the regular-season finale at New England.
The Jets can easily go 5-1 in this stretch to secure a playoff berth. 6-0 is not off the table if the compete with the Dolphins on Black Friday.
If the Jets come into December with a 7-4 mark, they could make a serious push for the divisional crown, even with two losses to the Bills.
Buffalo visits Philadelphia, Kansas City, the Chargers and Miami in four of the last seven weeks.
The Jets just need to stay within one or two games of the Bills to strike for the AFC East crown in the final six weeks.
Projection: Win over Houston, Win over Atlanta, Loss at Miami, Win over Washington, Win over Cleveland, Win over New England
Final Record Projection: 12-5
