The Gold Sheet

View profile 
Over the last ten seasons, the Jets have averaged 4.9 wins per year and they have only gone over this 5.5 win total three times. You can point to injuries and in-season trades as a big reason why last season was a failure, but we now have a ten-year sample size of this being one of the worst organizations in the NFL. Geno Smith was brought back to the franchise after a disastrous run in Las Vegas with the Raiders, but we're struggling to see the upside. The Athletic just released a comprehensive QB ranking that was voted on by coaches and front office personnel. Smith was voted as the 30th-best quarterback heading into the 2026 season. One defensive coordinator was quoted as saying, "He looked terrible on the film we saw." Another defensive coach put more blame on the Raiders' system around him, saying "Once you get hit and keep getting hit and hit and hit, how good are you going to be? They had no identity on offense. Geno got a bad rap. He was getting murdered out there." That's fair, but why is there any reason to believe things are going to be any better with this team? Head coach Aaron Glenn was retained, but nearly every assistant coaching position was flipped after last year’s 3-14 campaign. Frank Reich has been brought in to lead the offense, but Reich hasn't coached in the NFL since 2023 when he went 1-10 with the Carolina Panthers. Bill Musgrave was hired as the quarterbacks coach. Musgrave was the Browns' QB coach last season and Cleveland had arguably the worst offense in the NFL. We're really struggling to see how the Jets are going to double their win total from three to six this season. It's not like this team was knocking on the doorstep and suffered a couple heartbreaking losses along the way. They finished with a -203 point differential, allowed the second-most points in the league and suffered eight double-digit losses. When the NFL schedule was released, DraftKings released opening point spreads on every game for every team for the upcoming season. The Jets are not projected to be favored by more than a field goal in any game this season, and only five games have a point spread between -2.5 and +2.5. So in order to eclipse this win total, the Jets would have to go 5-0 in those toss-up games (vs Cleveland, Las Vegas, Arizona and Miami x2) and still would need to pull another upset along the way. We don't see that happening.

NFL Free Picks Against The Spread
Against the Spread betting on NFL games is another football bet type that has gained in popularity. One explanation for this is it can help take the emotion out of betting on NFL games. Instead of blindly following your heart and betting pure moneyline on your underdog team at long odds, you can take a more pragmatic approach. You can bet on your team to cover the spread (which might be more likely and at more reasonable odds) and then even if your NFL team drops a game, you can still come out ahead, despite the epic bummerhood of your team losing. At least you won your NFL ATS bet! Best NFL bets often include ATS picks.Â
You will undoubtedly see free NFL ATS picks out there, but you likely have found that they tend to focus only on the BIG games each week. WagerTalk looks to give you ATS NFL predictions on not only these games but also on games that are flying under the radar a bit.  Free NFL picks for ATS bets are wildly popular and WagerTalk has 'em.Â
This holds true with WagerTalk's Over/Under NFL picks, our moneyline NFL picks, and even Player Prop picks. WagerTalk's team of expert NFL handicappers spends just as much, if not more, time on low-profile games as the massive games. The aim of it all is simply to provide you with WINNING free NFL picks!
NFL Player Props Picks & Free NFL Parlay Picks:
WagerTalk is going all out in 2026 yard, receiving yards totals, rushing yards, and even anytime TD scorer props offered from a variety of NFL handicappers. Â NFL best bets often are props - players can outperform their teams!
NFL Best Bets - Totals. Free Over/Under Expert NFL Picks
Undoubtedly the favorite pick of bettors when they have no team preference, over/under picks set you up for a damned good time.  Over/Under picks are simple - you just place your bet on the total score either being over or under a certain number that sportsbooks provide you with. You can choose alternate over/unders from the main line, which can give you longer odds, but also more lucrative wins. But which are of course more risky than the featured over/under line!
For whatever reason, setting a stick in the sand on a point total and betting above or below that number provides incredibly exciting NFL betting.Â
Obviously for more fun, you can always just bet on the over on NFL games, sit back and just cheer for points, points, points.Â
However, WagerTalk gets a but more sophisticated than that! WagerTalk picks multiple over/under bets each week and as the NFL handicappers are experts, you will see plenty of Under picks! Certainly, if the Steelers are playing
Grab your NFL over/under picks each and every day throughout the 2025-26 season!

Moneyline NFL Best Bets
WagerTalk brings you free NFL moneyline picks each week.Â
Moneyline picks are the simplest of all NFL bets. You just bet on a team to win outright and sit back and watch the game.Â
Odds on moneyline free NFL picks take into account the disparity of two teams - the underdog will have much longer odds, which means a bigger payout, BUT there IS a reason they are the underdog. Which is simply that they are not likely to win!
If you placed a $100 NFL moneyline pick on your heavy underdog team at odds of +550, you would win $550, for a total payout of $650. If you placed a moneyline bet on a moneyline pick that is a favorite, you may see odds of -125 or so, which would mean your $100 bet wins you $80, for a total payout of $180. Not bad for just picking the favorite to win!
WagerTalk takes the emotion out of betting moneyline by thorough analysis of each game and a look at team trends and many other factors. Give our free NFL moneyline picks a try every day.  Â
Player Prop NFL Picks
One of the most popular and growing types of NFL bets is player props. The working theory among bettors who wager on prop bets is that due to the sheer volume of NFL prop bets, there exists a possibility that the lines are soft on certain player props. And if bet on correctly, you, the bettor, can come out ahead.Â
WagerTalk experts pick and choose carefully among available NFL prop bets, grabbing you NFL picks from their research. You can find some truly obscure, but winnable prop bet picks each week, from number of yards rushing a 2nd string running back might pull off to the over/under on the number of tackles that a linebacker might register that week.Â
