Jets building up optimism, but many hurdles to project more wins in 2018

2017 ATS record: 8-6-2

Optimist view: The New York Jets were picked by many to be the worst team in football last season. USA Today projected an 0-16 season for Todd Bowles’ 2017 team, and after an 0-2 start a lot of folks started nodding along. But lo and behold, they won three straight (and were robbed of a TD in a seven-point loss to the Patriots that almost made it four in a row) and had a chance in December to finish with a winning record following a massive upset of the Chiefs.
