The Lions went up 24-10, but the Jets stormed back with some great plays by Garrett Wilson and a Jahmyr Gibbs stuff.

L 12-23 Line +3 ATS: Did not cover (-8)

W 17-12 Line -1.5 ATS: Covered (+3.5)

JETS 17, Browns 12 (NYJ -1.5). The Jets led by one or four for most of the game, but allowed a long touchdown to Denzel Boston. The Browns gave them a short field on a botched snap that turned into a touchdown, and then New York's pass rush hounded Deshaun Watson. 276-198 NYJ, 4.2-3.0 NYJ

Week 6Sun, Oct 18 at New England Patriots Opp. rank #10Group B
L 19-26 Line +7 ATS: Push (0)
