    New York Jets History

    Originally established as the Titans of New York in 1959 as charter team for the American Football League (AFL) under the ownership of Harry Wismer, the Titans were to rival the Giants albeit in a different league. 

    However, in the early days of the Titans existence they were in financial trouble and Wismer then sold the franchise to a five man group to David Sonny Werblin, who bought the franchise in 1963. 

    By 1963 it could be deemed as a new era for the second New York franchise as Werblin renamed the team from ‘Titans of New York’ to the ‘New York Jets’, the reason being for the ‘Jets’ name was because the stadium that they played in at the time was close to an airport. 

    The Jets made big moves in the off season as Werblin signed former Baltimore Colts coach Weeb Ewbank who coached the side from 1963 to 1973, and by 1965 the Jets picked up Joe Namath who was pick # 1 in the AFL draft (and pick #12 in the NFL draft) as Ewbank’s vision finally came to fruition. 

    Admittedly Ewbank had to wait a few more seasons before he could finally see the full potential of the side that he put together which included future Hall of Famers Namath, Don Maynard and Winston Hill as they led the Jets to one of their most treasured seasons in 1968. 

    The Jets finished the 1968 regular season claiming the AFC Eastern division with a 11-3 record, where they met the Oakland Raiders in the AFL championship game. The Jets carried momentum in the championship game as they defeated the Raiders 27-23 to book their tickets to a maiden Super Bowl appearance in just the third edition of the biggest event in American football. 

    What transpired was a huge shock to the system as the Jets faced Ewbank’s former side the Baltimore Colts (who had a 13-1 record in the National Football League) in Super Bowl III. Ewbank provided a masterclass as the Jets provided one of the biggest upsets in American football and they claimed Super Bowl III with a 16-7 win as Namath was crowned the MVP. 

    The Super Bowl III was not only a stepping stone for the Jets but it made the general public have a deeper connection with the sport as well as delivering much loved fanfare the sport desperately craved. 

    Ewbank’s Jets couldn’t replicate the form the year after in the 1969 season despite finishing first in the AFL eastern standings with a 10-4 record. The Jets could only manage to go as far as the AFL division playoff when they fell to Kansas City, going down 13-6. This would be the end for the Jets in postseason action as they suffered a 12 year drought between 1969-1981. 

    The 80s provided a much needed revival for the Jets who were mostly in the wilderness for the past 12 years as under coach Walt Michaels (who coached the team from 1977 to 1982) led them out of the drought. 

    By 1981 he achieved just that as the Jets finished the regular season in second spot with a 10-5-1 record meaning they earned their first playoff appearance since 1969. Unfortunately, the Jets could only get as far as the wildcard playoffs where they lost to Buffalo Bills 31-27. A year later the Jets learned from their mistakes as they made it all the way to the AFC championship game where they met the Miami Dolphins but just fell short again as they lost by 14 points. 

    The Jets made back-to-back postseason appearances in 1985 and 1986 but it was the latter that was the better season of the two as they made it past the wildcard round defeating the Kansas City Chiefs but lost to the Cleveland Browns in the divisional game. 

    The 90s saw the Jets only appear in the postseason twice in 1991 and in 1998. The 1991 season saw the Jets get knocked out in the wildcard rounds when losing to the Houston Oilers. 

    However, the first year under coach Jeff Van Gundy didn’t exactly go to plan as they experienced their worst season in 1996 when they only won one game when they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 31-21. However, by 1998 Van Gundy turned things around as his side finished first in the AFC East with a 12-4 record. 

    The Jets made easy work of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the divisional playoff game defeating them by 10 points, but the following week was the closest they got to the Super Bowl as they were outdone by the Denver Broncos by 13 points, This was the second time the Jets have fallen one game short of a Super Bowl appearance. 

    By the time the new millennium rolled around the Jets were once again post season regulars appearing in the post season five times in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006 however, on each occasion they either crashed out in the wildcard round or in the divisional round. But that wasn’t the case in 2009 where once again they fell another game short of a Super Bowl showing, going down to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game. 

    The new decade of the 2010s didn’t see the Jets as postseason regulars as they only appeared in the postseason once in 2010. Despite having a 11-5 record at the end of the regular season the Jets had to settle for second place in the AFC East, which meant they had to do it the hard way. 

    They began their postseason appearance with a wildcard playoff win over the Colts, then a divisional playoff win over the New England Patriots but just like the previous season and in the 1998 and 1982 seasons the Jets fell one game short again as they crashed out to the Pittsburgh Steelers by five points in the AFC championship game. 

    The Jets could be seen as a what if team in the NFL as they have appeared in the championship game four times and each time falling short of heading into the NFL showpiece event. 

    The 2020 season could not have gone much worse for the Jets. After dropping their opening 13 games of the season, New York were just three more losses away from becoming the third 0-16 team in NFL history, which would’ve given them access  to the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL draft and apparent generational talent, Trevor Lawrence.

    However in true Jets fashion, they got in their own way. A victory over the Rams in Week 15 saw New York share the worst record in the league with Jacksonville (1-13). While a Week 16 victory over the Browns resulted in them relinquishing the worst record and subsequently the No. 1 pick to the Jaguars.

    Shortly after the Jets closed their season with a loss to the New England Patriots, the team fired Adam Gase as head coach. Having already warn the embarrassment of an 0-13 start and not getting the No. 1 pick as compensation, Jets fans truly went through hell during the 2020 NFL season.

    It was another rough year for the J-E-T-S Jets. Jets, Jets. As they will have another top pick in this year’s NFL Draft. However, Rookie quarterback Zach Wilson did show signs of brilliance that make it seem like the Jets are going in the right direction.

    The New York Jets had an above average 2022-23 regular season and would end up missing the playoffs after fighting through seventeen games and tons of quarterback controversies. It was truly an up and down season for the J-E-T-S Jets. They finished the regular season with a record of 7-10. Their record landed them in last place of their division and in tenth place of the conference.

    Have a read on below at SportsTips expert picks & preview on the New York Jets:

    Front Office

    Robert Saleh returns for a second season as the head coach of the New York Jets. He is certainly hoping that year number two goes a lot smoother than year number one and if everything goes right for the Jets, then it is very likely that is going to happen.

    In his first season he only managed to guide the Jets to four victories. With all the improvements they made through the draft and in the off-season, they should have a much better team this year. A lot of experts had the Jets pegged as having the best draft out of all 32 teams in the league, so that should instantly deliver signs of improvement for Salah and his squad.

    Offense

    The New York Jets offense will be led by Zach Wilson for the majority of the season although there is a possibility that he could miss the start of the year thanks to an injury that he picked up in the preseason. Rookie Breece Hall is likely going to get all the reps of the number one running back. 

    But after an incredible year last year that put him on people’s radar, there is a chance Michael Carter can find his way into the rotation as well. Rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson should pair well with CJ Uzomah and Corey Davis, as they look to give Wilson some dependable pass catchers this season.

    Defense

    Carl Lawson and John Franklin-Myers will make up the defensive end pairing while Solomon Thomas and Quinnen Williams will be playing in the middle of the defensive line. Marcell Harris, CJ Mosley, and Quincy Williams will likely fill out the three linebacker spots. 

    Rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner will step right into a starting role in year number one as the left side CB opposite of DJ Reed on the right side. While Lamarcus Joyner and Jordan Whitehead make up the starting safety pairing for the Jets. This is a defense that will look to avoid giving up as many points as they did last season and hopefully they will be able to stay off the field longer with an improved Jets offense as well.

    New York Jets Betting & Odds Preview 2023-24

    The 2022-23 season is over and we take a look back at the New York Jets betting history for the most recent season. We will provide more information in relation to the new 2023-24 season once information becomes available. In the meantime, have a look at the betting and odds information for the Jets before the start of the previous season:

    Last season the New York Jets finished with a record of 4-13 and they are expected to do slightly better then they did during the 2021-22 season. Oddsmakers expect the New York Jets to win around five to six of their seventeen games during the 2022-23 National Football League season. 

    The odds for betting the over on the win line are currently (-165), while the odds for the betting the under on the win line are currently (+135) heading into the 2022-23 season. Their odds to win their division are currently (+2200) as they are the clear longshots in the AFC East division, while their odds to bring home a Conference Championship are (+7500) at the moment. 

    Their current odds to win the Super Bowl and bring home the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season are listed at (+13000) heading into the 2022-23 National Football League season. This puts them as one of the least likely teams to bring home the title this season.

    They are currently the favorites in three of their seventeen games this season and all of those games come at home against Chicago, Jacksonville, and Detroit. As usual they are expected to win more games on their home field instead of having more wins on the road. 

    They come into the 2022-23 National Football League season expected to be two possession favorites in zero of their seventeen games and two possession underdogs in two of their seventeen games this season, as they are nine and a half point underdogs in Green Bay and Buffalo.  

    It’ll be interesting to see how this team performs after all the changes during the offseason and while playing in such a stacked conference like the AFC. Due to the massive amount of parity in the National Football League, you never truly know what is going to happen from season to season. But all signs point towards the New York Jets being on the less successful end of the spectrum during the 2022-23 National Football League season.
