Aaron Rodgers Jets Prediction Revealed vs. High-Flying Rams

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Adam Schultz | Last updated Dec 21, 2024 5:18 PM ET

The New York Jets are looking to finish their horror 2024 season in the right manner and take something positive into the offseason.

A win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15 was a good start, and with three games left, Aaron Rodgers and Co. will look to keep that winning feeling rolling against the Los Angeles Rams.

With Matthew Stafford and Co. looking to secure their playoff spot over the next few weeks, this looms as a tough outing for a Jets defense that hasn't kept an offense under 25 points in the last five games.

Given each team's mentality regarding their position this season, CBS Sports' Pete Prisco thinks the Rams will hand the Jets their 11th loss of the year.

"This is a long trip for the Rams, but they are playing well," Prisco writes. "The Jets are coming off a victory over the Jaguars, and Aaron Rodgers has looked much better the past two weeks. The Jets defense has issues. Look for a lot of points here as the Jets hang around, but the Rams find a way. "

But there is a case to be made that the Jets could cause an upset. Their offense has posted over 400 total yards in their last two games, and they haven't committed a turnover either.

Rodgers looks to be slowly getting back to being a version of himself that can lead a team to win games, but against the Rams, he's going to have to play his best game of the year to halt Los Angeles, who will need this week to enhance their playoff hopes.

If this season has told us anything, it is to expect the unexpected, and while the Jets are underdogs heading into this one, don't be surprised if Jeff Ulbrich's team finds a way to be a thorn in the Rams' side.
