For the New York Jets, they are 1-1 after scoring 14 unanswered points in the final two minutes against the Cleveland Browns. Will the Jets pull off another upset in back-to-back weeks against a team they beat last year?

New York Jets vs. Cincinnati Bengals Odds Breakdown
Sportsbooks have the Cincinnati Bengals up to six-point favorites now. The Bengals opened at 4.5 and continued to rise throughout the week. Well, the reason behind that rise is due to the number of bets coming in against the spread.
The Bengals have received 83% of the bets and 94% of the money to cover the spread in this game. Vegas and the public are both high on the Bengals to rebound in Week 3.
What makes this bet a little nerve-wracking is the lack of an offensive line for Cincinnati. The Bengals have allowed seven sacks and 30 pressures through two games. Yikes. That's not what you want when protecting your franchise signal-caller.
I don't know if I buy the Bengals at 0-3 but to expect them to win by a touchdown when they've looked so bad through two weeks? Fat chance. I don't get the public on this one, I guess people still view the Jets as a bottom feeder but with an improved offense they should be able to keep this one close.
