NY vs. SF (Jets +4.5): MNF BEST BET
(NFL) Jets (NYJ) vs. 49ers (SF),
Point Spread: 4.50 | -120.00 Jets (NYJ) (Away)
Result: Loss
There have been a lot of distractions in the Niners' camp with left tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Williams hasn't practiced much and reports indicate Aiyuk will be on a snap count. The rest of the 49ers' offensive line is mediocre, as well. Brock Purdy will struggle if the Jets' pass rush is consistently in his face — he was uninspiring in training camp and preseason play. Former San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Salah will have his team well-prepared for this 49ers offense...

I'm also bullish on Aaron Rodgers in a prove-it spot. He has been gearing up for this for a year and spent the offseason going up against the Jets' top-tier defense. He has an improved offensive line and a bunch of playmakers at his disposal. The Niners' pass rush took a hit with the loss of Arik Armstead, too. Rodgers has a 20:2 TD:INT ratio against SF in his career. He won't likely need to be that dominant on Monday, though, with RB Breece Hall giving the Jets a balanced offensive attack.

I'll pay a little extra to get to 4.5 points in the Jets-Niners game.
