49ers have enjoyed past success over the Jets
The San Francisco 49ers are 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against the New York Jets. They'll hope to continue that run of success and break an 11-game losing streak with a win at home over the Jets on Sunday.
San Francisco was a 1-point favorite for the second time this season last Sunday in Chicago, and for the second time this season lost by double digits as a favorite. It was the team's eighth double-digit loss overall, bringing the 49ers' record to 1-11 SU and 2-9-1 ATS on the year. The 49ers are 0-5 SU and ATS in their last five games at home.
New York also got blown out as a small favorite last week, losing to Indianapolis 41-10 on Monday night. Todd Bowles handed the offense over to Bryce Petty in the second half and has indicated that Petty will start in New York's final four games. Petty has a passer rating of just 59.8 this season with two touchdown passes and three interceptions.
A little bit of betting history will take place if the Niners close as favorites as only one 1-11 SU team in our records has been favored in a game. It occurred in 1993 with the 1-11 New England Patriots as 5.5-point favorites over the Bengals, who ironically enough were also 1-11. It wasn't much of a game as the Patriots won 7-2, failing to cover the spread.
