Jets to lose to Ravens

[Betfair]

New York Jets 2.6 @ Baltimore 1.58

There’s history in this game and most of that attitude has been flowing from the Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan this week. He spent 10 years with the Ravens, rising through the coaching ranks to become coordinator and assistant head coach while building perhaps the NFL‘s most ferocious defence. Despite that resume, he was passed over for the head job following Brian Billick’s dismissal in 2008.

Asked if he was bitter about that decision this week, his reply was as direct and tough as his teams, “Absolutely I was.” Ryan got a first-hand look at what it’s like to go up against those players in last year’s Sept 13 opener at the Meadowlands. The Jets lost 10-9 to the Ravens while being held to 176 yards of offense and 60 passing, their lowest totals in 35 games under Ryan.

The defence that Ryan has built in New York this year will be one that is giving him concern. Despite reaching two consecutive AFC Championship games, this season the Jets rank 31st against the run and been shredded for 234 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in a 34-24 loss to Oakland last week. New York are allowing 136.7 rushing yards per game and have given up a league-high five touchdowns via the run.
