None of that matters to the Jets, who joined the 2001 Cleveland Browns as the only teams in the Super Bowl era to have a winning record despite being an underdog in each of its first six games. They opened as 3-point underdogs, according to FanDuel, at Denver against the 2-4 Broncos next Sunday. “I’m taking receipts, and I’m going to be more than happy to share them with all y’all when it’s all said and done.”Įven if the Jets, like the Giants, still aren’t getting much respect from bettors. “We’re all taking receipts on all the people who continually mock and say that we ain’t going to do anything,” Saleh said one game into his second season. “They’re very comfortable in those one-score games late in the fourth quarter.” “They’re just making the game close, waiting for you to make a mistake,” said Dungy’s on-air teammate Chris Simms - whose father Phil was part of two Super Bowl-winning Giants teams. The same can be said of the Giants, whose 5-1 start under Daboll is the team’s best since 2009. “The Jets are better than we thought,” Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy said Sunday during NBC’s “Football Night in America.” ”Young guns just hustling, fighting, playing well and just getting the job done.” The promising starts are a surprise to many - especially since the Giants haven’t been to the playoffs since 2016 and the Jets have the NFL’s longest current postseason drought at 11 seasons. And it’s only the sixth time since the 1970 merger it has happened. It’s the first time since 2010 both teams have won at least four of their first six games. The usual griping on sports talk radio and social media has given way to daydreaming about playoff possibilities. But their frustration has suddenly turned to cautious optimism.
