NFL Schedule Release: Predicting Every Jets Game in 2024

Record Prediction 11-6

Much, if not all, of the Jets' success will be determined by Aaron Rodgers's health. They brought in Tyrod Taylor as the backup, and he is an upgrade over Zach Wilson. If Rodgers stays upright, New York has a chance to end its playoff drought. The first 11 games will be a gauntlet, with two Thursday night games and a trip to London, but there are plenty of opportunities to rack up wins.

September 9, 2024 – New York Jets (+5.5) at San Francisco 49ers

The Jets open the season on Monday Night Football against the defending NFC champion 49ers. It’ll be a true test for a Jets offense welcoming back Aaron Rodgers from an Achilles injury and new pieces along the offensive line. This is about as tricky an opener as there is in the NFL.

Score: 49ers 23, Jets 14

September 15, 2024 – New York Jets (-4) at Tennessee Titans

The Jets are back on the road in week two as they take on the Titans, who finished last in the AFC South in 2023. New York should get into the win column before their home opener, which is on a quick turnaround.

Score: Jets 27, Titans 13

September 19, 2024 – New York Jets (-7.5) vs. New England Patriots

The Jets' home opener is in Week 3 on a Thursday night against the hated Patriots. The Jets' defense should be able to handle a new coach and rookie quarterback early in the season at home. How much weight does last season’s win over New England carry in 2024?

Score: Jets 28, Patriots 9

Header: September 29, 2024 – New York Jets (-6) vs. Denver Broncos

The Jets finish September with a winnable home game against the Denver Broncos. This may be a must-win for the Jets, as October provides no rest for the wary. The Broncos will likely be breaking in rookie quarterback Bo Nix, so the New York defense will be licking its chops.

Score: Jets 24, Broncos 13

October 6, 2024 – New York Jets (-6) vs. Minnesota Vikings (London)

The Jets fly across the pond to take on another rookie quarterback. The Vikings are rebuilding, and the Jets must stack as many wins as possible.

Score: Jets 21, Vikings 14

October 14, 2024 – New York Jets (-1) vs. Buffalo Bills

The Jets return home for yet another prime-time game, this one against AFC East contenders the Buffalo Bills. The Jets have won two straight at home against the Bills, and this will be another barnburner. Will the Jets have the energy to win the game after traveling to London?

Score: Bills 24, Jets 20

NFL: Houston Texans at New York Jets

The Jets hit the road again for a Sunday Night Football showdown against the Steelers. Pittsburgh has plenty of questions, including who will be playing quarterback. This figures to be a defensive battle.

Score: Jets 16, Steelers 10

October 27, 2024 – New York Jets (-3.5) at New England Patriots

Could the Jets start a winning streak in Foxboro? It could happen. New York and New England will close out their season series before the end of October. The Patriots will look different this time, but the Jets should still be the more talented team.

Score: Jets 27, Patriots 21

October 31, 2024 – New York Jets (-3) vs. Houston Texans

It's another prime-time game and another short week for the Jets. Houston’s offense should be one of the best in the NFL, and it’ll be strength against strength. Strange things happen on Halloween, though.

Score: Houston 30, Jets 23

November 10, 2024 – New York Jets (-3) at Arizona Cardinals

The Jets head out to the desert to take on the Cardinals. It’ll be Sauce Gardner vs. Marvin Harrison Jr. The Cardinals may not be ready for prime time yet, but the Jets could be exhausted come November.

Score: Jets 24, Cardinals 17

November 17, 2024 – New York Jets (-4) vs. Indianapolis Colts

An old AFC East battle is the last of the Jets' 11-straight games, and New York has a good chance to head into the bye week on a high note in another prime-time game.

Score: Jets 38, Colts 14

December 1, 2024 – New York Jets (-4) vs. Seattle Seahawks

After a bye week, the Jets welcome old friend Geno Smith back to MetLife Stadium. A much-needed rest should help New York start December well and continue the push to the postseason.

Score: Jets 27, Seahawks 23

December 8, 2024 – New York Jets (+2) at Miami Dolphins

The Jets head south for a tone-setting AFC East battle against the hated Dolphins. It could be the first time the Jets are underdogs since the season opener. A win could put the Jets in the driver’s seat in the East. However, the Dolphins at home should take care of business.

Score: Dolphins 31, Jets 24

December 15, 2024 – New York Jets (-1) at Jacksonville Jaguars

A second consecutive road trip to the Sunshine State comes with a visit to the Jaguars, who finished 2023 second in the AFC South. The Jets can ill-afford losses late in the season, and Jacksonville should also be in the thick of the playoff race.

Score: Jets 28, Jaguars 24

December 22, 2024 – New York Jets (-3) vs. Los Angeles Rams

This is another big December matchup for the Jets. The Rams made the postseason in 2023, featuring an offense that is hard to stop. There is always a hiccup with the Jets late in the season; this could be the spot.

Score: Rams 35, Jets 24

December 29, 2024 – New York Jets (+2.5) at Buffalo Bills

The Jets' luck in Buffalo has been as low as the temperatures expected in late December. The Jets find themselves on the road in another crucial AFC East battle. The Bills will sweep the series with the Jets and win at home.

Score: Bills 31, Jets 17

January 5, 2024 – New York Jets (-1.5) vs. Miami Dolphins

The Jets and Dolphins finish the regular season with what could be a gigantic game for the postseason and maybe even the division. The Jets should hold serve at home and close the regular season with a win.

Score: Jets 31, Dolphins 27

Record Prediction 11-6

Much, if not all, of the Jets' success will be determined by Aaron Rodgers's health. They brought in Tyrod Taylor as the backup, and he is an upgrade over Zach Wilson. If Rodgers stays upright, New York has a chance to end its playoff drought. The first 11 games will be a gauntlet, with two Thursday night games and a trip to London, but there are plenty of opportunities to rack up wins.
