The New York Jets are entering the 2024 NFL season with high expectations, aiming for a Super Bowl win, bolstered by the return of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is reportedly in top physical condition after recovering from an Achilles injury. The Jets' roster has been strengthened, particularly in the offensive line and receiving corps, which positions them as serious contenders in the AFC East, with betting odds favoring them at +165. Meanwhile, the Houston Texans, last year's surprise division champions, are also favorites in the AFC South, moving from +150 to +105 in odds, thanks to a successful season under rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. The Texans' improvement comes after finishing last in 2022, while both the Colts and Jaguars are also positioned closely behind them in betting lines. The competitive landscape of the AFC East has shifted, with the Bills now at +195 in odds after having dominated the division in recent years. Overall, the Jets' impressive defensive capabilities and strong offensive potential, led by Rodgers, have sparked optimism among fans and analysts alike.
