Expectations have never been this high for the New York Jets, not even last season.
They went to great lengths to revamp their ever-struggling offensive line, and they gave Aaron Rodgers a new prime weapon in Mike Williams.
So, with Aaron Rodgers ready to get on a bit of a revenge tour, ESPN analyst Mike Greenberg believes his favorite team will roll past the opposition in 2024.
In the latest edition of “Get Up,” he predicted the Jets would win 14 games this season.

He acknowledged that they might lose to the San Francisco 49ers on the road in the season opener, and even urged Rodgers to sit out that game to avoid getting banged up.
Needless to say, his prediction was slightly biased, so it didn’t take long before the fans took to social media to hold him accountable for that.

This Jets team is going to be much much better this season.
But, I don’t know about 14-3.

12-5 should legit be the minimum. Favorable opponents.

At the end of the day, 14-3 might be a little too much for this team.
They’ll face some stout rivals like the Texans, Rams, Jaguars, Steelers, Niners, and they have two games apiece vs. the Dolphins and Bills.
Still, the Jets should be one of the strongest contenders to come out of the AFC next season, and anything short of a deep postseason run should cost plenty of people their jobs.
