The New York Jets have the NFL’s longest playoff drought; the franchise’s last appearance was in the 2010 season. Head coach Robert Saleh was hired in 2021 to end that streak of non-playoff seasons, but after three years, the Jets are still awaiting postseason action.
Now with a healthy Aaron Rodgers and a stout defense, this might be the year for the Jets.
But how has Saleh done against the spread for Ontario sports betting? OntarioBets.com set out to find the answer. As it turns out, his mark ATS is not much better than his overall record. Here are the details:
| Category | Percentage | Rank (Among Active Coaches) |
| Against The Spread (Overall) | 40.0% | 24th |
| Against The Spread (Home) | 42.0% | 23rd |
| Against The Spread (Away) | 38.0% | 25th |
| Against The Spread (Favorite) | 38.0% | 23rd |
| Against The Spread (Underdog) | 40.0% | T-22nd |
| Against The Spread (Division) | 33.0% | T-23rd |
At OntarioBets.com, our New York Jets betting guide has more insights as the 2024-25 NFL regular season approaches.
Saleh is 18-33 as Jets coach, a .353 winning percentage. Against the spread, he has a 40% success rate, which is second-worst among active coaches. Our data comes from the nfeloapp.com website and includes only the 25 coaches who were with their teams last season (seven teams changed coaches during the offseason). Only New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen (39.7%) has fared worse in his tenure as head coach of his current team.
Can Saleh turn around the fortunes of Gang Green at last? You can track New York Jets playoff chances all season to find out.
Saleh is well under .500 in every category against the spread in his three seasons as Jets head coach. Out of the 25 coaches considered for our rankings, he was in the bottom four in six different metrics. His best result is against the spread in home games, with New York covering 42% of the time.
The wagering picture for Jets backers is bleakest in division games against AFC East foes, where the Jets are covering only a third of the time since 2021.
Can the Jets reverse this trend, starting with Jets vs. 49ers odds for Week 1 on Monday Night Football in Santa Clara, California? New York is 3-11 all-time against San Francisco but in 2016, the last time they visited the West Coast to face the Niners, the Jets won 23-17.
Last season, the Jets finished 7-10 after Rodgers – a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and four-time Associated Press Most Valuable Player with the Green Bay Packers from 2005-22 – injured his Achilles in the opener against the Buffalo Bills and missed the rest of the season. That helped to sink the hopes of a team that otherwise had all the pieces in place, especially with a defense that ranked third in the NFL for fewest yards allowed.
This season, NorthStar Bets Ontario Sportsbook gives the Jets -162 odds of returning to the playoffs at last, compared to +133 odds of them missing out for the 14th consecutive year.
