28. New York Jets 1-4 (24) (Play Monday Night)

With the way the New York Jets have played over their last three games, it’s tough to see this team coming up on the winning end when they face off against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football.

For starters, the Jets’ offense has been nothing but a disappointment since their Week 2 win against the Buffalo Bills as this team has scored just 33 points over their last three games. When looking at the high-powered offense of the Cardinals, it’s safe to assume the only way Ryan Fitzpatrick and company are going to have a chance in this one is if they can put up more than 30 points.

With Eric Decker out for the remainder of the season, Fitzpatrick will be forced to rely even more on Brandon Marshall in the passing game. Unfortunately, there’s only so much a wideout like Marshall can do on his own when it comes to carrying the offense.

For a team that was considered a strong contender in the AFC after falling just short of the playoffs one year ago, New York has been nothing but a disappointment so far this season, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get better for this squad any time soon.
