It’s official. Aaron Rodgers has a torn Achilles and will miss the remainder of the regular season.
It’s one of the most significant boom-to-bust moments in recent NFL history.
The hype surrounding the Jets in the offseason was incalculable.
Now, the fate of the New York Jets’ season rests on Zach Wilson, the most inaccurate passer in the NFL.
| Market | Odds Before | Odds After |
| Super Bowl | +1600 | +6000 |
| AFC Championship | +1100 | +3000 |
| AFC East Winner | +270 | +600 |
| To Make the Playoffs – Yes | -130 | +215 |
| To Make the Playoffs – No | +110 | -280 |
| Regular Season Win Total | 9.5 | 8.5 |
Sportsbooks have quickly adjusted their expectations for the Jets, significantly lengthening their betting odds in the futures markets.
Here are the Jets’ betting odds before and after the Rodgers injury, provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.
Obviously, the Jets are a much worse team without a four-time MVP quarterbacking the offense.
However, the defense still looks outstanding, holding the Bills to negative Expected Points Added per Play while intercepting Josh Allen three times in Week 1.
Somehow, the Jets are still 1-0 with a win over a divisional rival despite the tragic injury.
The team could be a tad undervalued right now.
So, New York’s passing attack doesn’t project to improve much from last year.
The Jets changed their offense after Rodgers left, leaning heavily on a well-protected Breece Hall in the running game.
Betting on the NFL?
Hall finished with a whopping 127 rushing yards on 10 attempts.
He could be a player to watch for the Jets in the post-Rodgers era.
