Saints vs Jets Betting Pick
This game will be played at MetLife Stadium at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, December 12, 2021.
Why Bet The Saints:
✅ This is a good buy low spot for the Saints, who have struggled with a combination of Trevor Siemian and Taysom Hill since Jameis Winston went down. Here, they face a Jets team near the bottom of the league in yards per play allowed, and this should be the best chance Hill has to have success as a quarterback in the NFL for a while.
✅ The New York Jets have been a disaster on defense this season, and last week the proved that a sub-NFL caliber quarterback isn’t enough to help them get stops. Gardner Minshew tore the Jets to pieces in his first week as the Eagles quarterback in Week 13. Taysom Hill should be able to do the same.

✅ Despite being big underdogs for much of the season, the New York Jets are a league-worst 3-9 against the spread this year. While the Saints have had their issues covering the number on a regular basis, they should be able to get the job done against arguably the worst franchise in the NFL right now.
New Orleans Saints
New Orleans dropped its fifth straight game last week, falling on Thursday Night Football at home against the Dallas Cowboys. The loss to Dallas was another offensive nightmare for the Saints, as they couldn’t get anything going with Taysom Hill as their quarterback. This week, the Saints look to move in the right direction against a Jets team that should give them a chance to move the ball.
To be fair to the Saints, the last four games of their five-game losing streak have come against quality competition. The Titans, Bills, Eagles and Cowboys are all quality opponents, even if they have lacked consistency throughout the year. But the Jets are far beneath all of those teams, and a bad day from Taysom Hill against the Jets would really do damage to claims that he can become a legitimate NFL quarterback.
New York Jets
The New York Jets dropped their fourth game out of five in Week 13, when they fell to the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 33-18. In that game, the porous Jets defense reared its ugly head once again by allowing Gardner Minshew to move the ball effectively for Philadelphia. This week, the Jets will hope to have better results against another quarterback that isn’t used to starting in Taysom Hill.
Of course, the offense of the Jets hasn’t been any good either as of late. In their last four games, the Jets have scored 20 or more points just once, with that coming against the lowly Houston Texans. The Jets will hope for better offensive results against the Saints this week, but they haven’t shown any reason to believe those results are coming.
