00:03Kicking off week number nine on this Thursday in MetLife.

00:06The Jets now a two and a half point home favorite against the Houston Texans.

00:10Vecchio, we ask you about the numbers often.

00:13Two and a half points spread in favor of New York at home.

00:16Short week Thursday night football, 42 and a half is the over-under, but it's not just

00:20the numbers.

00:21I guess it's kind of the belief in this game.

00:24If you believe the Jets will finally win a game when they are expected, you look at New

00:29York.

00:30If you don't believe that, you kind of think Houston is the right side.

00:34So how do you see this Thursday night playing out?

00:37Really tough.

00:38This game is super interesting for a variety of reasons.

00:40Like I said at the top, the Texans, the Texans, they're dealing with a ton of injuries.

00:44Obviously, the announcement that Diggs has done for the year, Nico Collins is still out

00:48for a few more weeks.

00:49And ultimately, what does their offense look like?

00:51And if they're forced into a passing game script, we've seen their offensive line be

00:55terrible.

00:56Right.

00:57They cannot protect CJ Stroud.

00:59That's actually one of the things that the Jets are good at, which is bringing pressure.

01:01So if there's any time for the Jets to actually have some success, it would be tonight on

01:06a short week versus a team that's clearly not healthy on injury.

01:09And like the thing that the Jets do well is the thing exactly that the Texans struggle

01:13with.

01:14So this should be the game for the Jets to right the ship after firing the head coach

01:19and training for Devonte Adams.

01:20And they just haven't been able to get on the right foot.

01:22Like this is the time for them to finally succeed.

01:24So if you believe in the Jets, I think they win this game and they absolutely do cover.

01:29But if you don't have any belief, then I think the Texans are live and I think it would be

01:33a big Joe mixing game ultimately.
