The New York Jets desperately need to jumpstart their season when they host the Carolina Panthers in a cross-conference clash this Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The sputtering Jets enter this Week 7 matchup winless at 0-6, but they’ve shown resilience as underdogs, covering the spread in their last four games despite the losses. So there’s your silver lining!
Carolina arrives as slight road favorites, boasting superior offensive numbers with 22.0 points per game compared to New York’s feckless 19.2.
The Panthers’ ground-and-pound attack has been their calling card, averaging 142.7 rushing yards per game while controlling the clock at 32:07 in time of possession per contest, ranking 5th in the NFL.
