The Jets take on the Bears Sunday afternoon at MetLife. This should be an interesting game. Both teams are coming off losses and are looking to bounce back.
The Jets are coming off an awful loss at the hands of the Patriots. The defense was really good holding New England to three points The Jets defense sacked Mac Jones six times as well.. Zach Wilson wasn’t good at all. Zach Wilson was 9-22 for 77 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. But could have been picked off three times. The Jets were able to muster TWO yards of total offense in the second half. After Wilson’s awful start and what happened during the postgame the Jets have announced that Mike White will start this week and Joe Flacco will serve as the backup. Mike White, who played in four games for the Jets last season had a 66.7 completion percentage 953 yards, five touchdowns and eight interceptions.
.The Bears are coming off a loss at the hands of the Falcons. Justin Fields 14-21 for 153 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Fields also rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown. Fields also suffered a shoulder injury during the game and is a game time decision. If I was in the Bears front office I don’t think I would play Fields because h has shown glimpses of becoming a franchise quarterback the past few weeks, why waste that in a game that really doesn’t matter for them? If Fields cannot play Trevor Simiean, who used to play for the Jets would start. David Montgomery had 67 yards rushing and a touchdown as well.
Two teams who are looking to bounce back after tough losses last week. I expect a good game Sunday.
My prediction is Jets 15- Bears 3
