Injury Report
Jets: New York has a lengthy list of injured players, but many of them practiced in full on Thursday and without any setbacks should be good to go on Sunday. RB Matt Forte looks to be very iffy to play against the Bucs with a knee injury. DE Muhammad Wilkerson didn’t practice on Thursday, but missing practices throughout the week and then playing has been the norm for him this season.
Buccaneers: Tampa Bay will be without QB Jameis Winston who has been ruled out with a shoulder injury and top WR Mike Evans who has been suspended. They may also be without both of their starting tackles with LT Donovan Smith and RT Demar Dotson both missing practices this week. There is some good news on the injury front though with CB Brent Grimes likely to return after missing last week.
Public Money Consensus
The public is playing the Jets with 61% backing them on the point spread line. The total betting has been mixed although some of the sharper action appears to be coming in on the OVER.
