As the fantasy football playoffs roll on, the NFL regular season marches toward a conclusion. Both of these teams have a shot at making the NFL's postseason, which is a nice surprise. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 16 breaks down the fantasy and betting trends you need to know for Thursday night's contest.
The 6-8 Jaguars just upset the Dallas Cowboys and have a ton of momentum. Doug Pederson's squad has won 3-of-4 and concludes the season with two winnable AFC South contests.
Meanwhile, the Jets have dropped three straight and 4-of-5. For New York to keep their fading postseason dreams alive, Week 16 is a must-win proposition.
New York opened as slight 1-point home favorites. This tells us Vegas thinks the Jaguars are the better team. However, wind, cold, and rain are expected to play a role in Thursday's action.
Matchup
Doug Pederson has restored balance to the Jaguars. Plus, Pederson has unlocked the potential in sophomore QB Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville's offense is top-10 through the air and via the rush. But, the Jags' 27th-ranked defense has struggled to stop the opposition's passing attack.
However, it remains to be seen if the Jets can capitalize on that weakness. Struggling second-year QB Zach Wilson gets the starting nod
