The Seattle Seahawks have just two games left in their 2022 season and odds are they’ll need to win both of them to make the playoffs. Next up on the schedule is a home game against the New York Jets on New Year’s Day. According to USA TODAY Sports Data, Seattle is only favored by one point for that matchup.
The Jets (7-8) are also hanging on for a chance to grab a wild card spot in the AFC. They’ve gotten here on the strength of their defense, which is the fourth-best scoring unit in the league and ranks No. 6 in DVOA. The problem for Robert Saleh’s team is they don’t have a good quarterback. Zach Wilson has not made the leap in Year 2 the way Trevor Lawrence has, having thrown more interceptions (7) than touchdowns (6) so far. It’s been so bad that at the moment Saleh has not named a starter for this week’s game.
