The NFL schedule makers did the Jets very little favors to begin the season – three games in 11 days. That’s a brutal stretch, but if New York plans to make a run to the Super Bowl, it will be only the first of many hurdles along the way.
There’s, obviously, so much to come before the Jets board a flight to San Francisco to open the season on Monday Night Football. We still have no idea what the roster will look like. Still, a little schedule prediction is always fun.
So, here’s a first crack at predicting how things will play out for the Jets in 2024.
Week 1, at 49ers: LOSS
This is a brutal way to start the season. It’s actually a double-bummer because you’d love to see this matchup, which could repeat itself in February, a bit later in the season after the two knock off some rust.
It’s hard to see the Jets traveling to San Francisco and beating the 49ers with so many new pieces on offense (three new offensive linemen, new receivers) and Rodgers having missed all but four snaps last year. I do believe the Jets match up well with San Francisco, just not this early in the year.
Week 2, at Titans: WIN
We’ll see what Will Levis is this year, but I have my doubts. That Tennessee team, now absent Mike Vrabel, Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry, might be among the worst in the NFL. The Jets shouldn’t have an issue with this one.
Week 3, vs Patriots: WIN
It actually surprised me the Patriots didn’t take the package the Giants offered them to go up for Drake Maye. They’re far more than a quarterback away from contention. I thought they’d recoup those assets, round out the roster a bit more, then look for their franchise signal caller in 2026 or 2027.
Alas, they did not. You haven’t been able to say this much over the last two decades, but the Patriots are not in the same class as the Jets (or Bills or Dolphins, for that matter). This could be the blowout Jets fans have waited for.
Week 4, vs Broncos: WIN
The return of John Franklin-Myers. The Jets didn’t…
