Analysis: The New York Jets didn't bring in future Hall of Famer Brett Favre to run a conservative offense, one that is averaging less than field goal more per game through the first two weeks compared to last year with Chad Pennington. In fact, the Jets opened up the offense in the third week of the season last year with Pennington under center in a 31-28 win over Miami after totaling just 27 points combined in the first two weeks. I expect a similar offensive performance here against a San Diego defense that has allowed 32.5 points in dropping games against Carolina and Denver. The Chargers can win a shootout because they have better weapons regardless of whether or not star RB LaDainian Tomlinson plays. They may not cover the spread though, which is why I think the OVER is the obvious choice for the best bet in this game. The total has also gone OVER in the last three regular-season meetings between these teams, so bet the OVER as my Triple Dime Monday Night Football Total Play O' the Month.

The NY Jets (1-1) have gone "Under" in both of their games while the Chargers (0-2) have flown "Over" in both of their efforts this season. They meet on Monday Night Football and somethings gotta give! We'll back the "Under" knowing that San Diego Head Coach Norv Turner has gone "Under" in 11 STRAIGHT games following a loss as road Dogs. but covered the spread in his previous game!

THE GOLD SHEET
KEY RELEASE
OVER THE TOTAL *SAN DIEGO 28 - NY Jets 26—Chargers upset about getting the worst of the officiating last week in Denver, and they also greatly miss the intimidating presence of OLB Shawne Merriman, as the remaining S.D. pass rushers were able to apply little pressure last week in Denver, with Jay Cutler sacked only once while passing for 350 yards and 4 TDs, plus the game-winning two-pointer. That gave the Bolts two straight lastsecond losses. With L.T. limping, maybe they don’t pull away from Favre, who can trade throws with Philip Rivers and help put this one “over.”
(05-San Diego -6 31-26...SR: San Diego 18-12-1)

Yeah, Chargers were robbed and are much better than their 0-2 record. But the Jets aren't slouches and came closer to beating the Pats last week than 19-10 suggests. Jets can defend the pass and generate a rush, they can play solid D, and Favre now has 2 full games under his belt with the Jets. Maybe even more important, the Jets coaches may have learned something from their dumb playcalling. One final thought. The thinking by the public will be San Diego is mad and will hammer the Jets. But the Jets aren't punching bags and often teams that are screwed the previous week spend too much time whining and dwelling on what happened to be sharp. Teams that blew it themselves have better motivation which isn't the case here. Weird dynamic but every season these screwed teams disappoint ATS more often than not. I'll back the Jets to hang within the big number. Take the NY Jets +9 for a 3* Regular Play.
