I thought the Jets, as bad as they are, represented good value last week against a good but not great Colts team. Boy was I wrong. The difference here is that we know the Broncos aren't good right now with their long list of injured players. It's never a good sign when it takes until Tuesday to know who's going to start at QB for a Thursday game, and it makes even less sense to make such a team a road favorite. As bad as Sam Darnold has looked, he's going to be the better QB here, and he'll be up against a defense that would have given up 26-plus points in three straight games if not for a Stephen Gostkowski meltdown in Week 1.

Welcome to a scenario in which home-field advantage is enhanced in an empty stadium. The winless, hapless Jets will be spared the boos that could otherwise rain down on them. There is little else to endorse, so let’s focus on Denver. The visitors, also 0-3, have been ravaged by injuries, the latest Sunday to DT Jurrell Casey (biceps), who becomes the fourth Bronco Pro Bowler on injured reserve. With QB Drew Lock (shoulder) out, coach Vic Fangio must choose from among three candidates to start. Regardless, there is scant time to prepare. A long trip and a short week with a depleted roster might spell doom for a proud franchise.

The Jets haven’t come close to sniffing a cover, going 0-3 SU and ATS and losing by an average score of 31-12. The Denver defense has played well getting covers the first two weeks. But the injuries (the Broncos' top five players are injured and top two players are out for the year) are just too much for me to side with the Broncos as they travel to the East Coast on a short week. The Bills and 49ers scored lots on the Jets, but the Broncos aren’t equipped to do that. Under.

Course Preview

The Country Club of Jackson has been the host of the Sanderson Farms Championship since the 2015 season. It's a traditional par 72 that will play around 7,400 yards. It features bermuda greens and ranked 26th out of 49 courses in terms of difficulty last season.

Field Preview

This is not a marquee event on the PGA Tour, but it's certainly an upgrade over the field we saw last week in the Dominican Republic. It is headlined by the last two Rookies of the Year in Scottie Scheffler and Sungjae Im, who will be joined by some of the rising stars on the circuit.

#1 Scottie Scheffler

Scheffler will make his first start since missing the U.S. Open after testing positive for COVID-19. He will also be making his first start since being named the Tour Rookie of the Year. Scheffler has been excellent, notching a top-25 finish in each of his last six starts on Tour, including a fourth-place finish at the PGA Championship.

#2 Sungjae Im

The game is rounding into shape for Im, who finished 22nd at the U.S. Open in his last start. There are plenty of good vibes for Im in Jackson, where he got into a playoff last year before falling to Sebastian Munoz.

#3 Doc Redman

Redman continues to find his name near the top of the leaderboard. He's finished T-3 in two of his last three starts. He's one of the best ball-strikers in this field and is continually knocking at the door.

#4 Will Zalatoris

Zalatoris backed his way into a top 10 last week with a final-round 65 to earn his spot in the field this week. He will need to continue to post great finishes to earn starts, because he doesn't have full status on Tour.

#5 Sam Burns

Burns played himself out of the Corales Puntacana Championship last week with a Saturday round of 78. He played well otherwise and posted a final-round 66. He's 3-for-3 in making cuts at the Sanderson Farms and finished T-3 in 2019.

#6 Emiliano Grillo

Grillo will go as far as the putter allows him, but it's been "good enough" to make six consecutive cuts on Tour and kept himself in contention for the majority of the event in Punta Cana last week.

#7 Sebastian Munoz

The defending champion has been playing well, including a T-18 finish at The Northern Trust, T-8 at the BMW Championship and T-7 at the Tour Championship.

#8 Byeong Hun An

Only one trip to Jackson for An, but he made it count. He finished T-3 last year. He's been a bit volatile recently, with four missed cuts in his last seven starts, but the other three finishes has all been top-25s.

#9 Chez Reavie

Reavie missed the cut at the U.S. Open but finished T-3 in the previous start at Safeway. This type of field composition is much better for Reavie's chances of contending.

#10 Charl Schwartzel

It's been a rough year for Schwartzel, but he's been much better in the past two months. He contended at the 3M Open before finishing T-3. He also made the cut at the PGA Championship and finished T-23 at the Safeway in his last start. This will be his first start at the Sanderson Farms.

#11 Adam Schenk

Schenk struggled on the weekend in the Dominican, shooting rounds of 73-74. Either way, that still marks his eighth consecutive cut made. He's found the weekend in all three career trips to Mississippi, including a T-7 two years ago.

#12 Xinjun Zhang

He is the true definition of "boom or bust." He misses about half his cuts but contends nearly every weekend he attends. That was no different last week, where he finished T-11 in Punta Cana.

#13 Corey Conners

A very disappointing missed cut last week, considering he was one of the better players in the field. He's now missed two cuts in a row and four of his last six. Finished second at the Sanderson Farms two years ago.

#14 Adam Long

This has been a great stretch of golf for Long, who has eight consecutive cuts made, culminating with his fifth-place finish last week.

#15 Brian Harman

The left-handed veteran has made six consecutive cuts, including top-15 finishes at The Northern Trust and the BMW Championship. He finished T-14 at this event last year.

#16 Zach Johnson

Johnson has been flying under the radar a bit, earning top-10s at the U.S. Open and the Wyndham Championship. Now he heads to Mississippi, where he finished T-14 last season.

#17 Si Woo Kim

Kim is one of the most volatile golfers on the planet, but he played well down the stretch of last season including a T-3 at the Wyndham Championship. His ball-striking ability is the skill set he will need to rely on this week in Jackson.

#18 Luke List

List finished T-2 here in 2017 and played well in Punta Cana last week. He ended up finishing T-8 and will look to continue that success this week.

#19 Nate Lashley

Lashley is incredibly streaky, so I'm willing to see if he can continue his good play from last week for one more start. He finished fourth at Corales last week and finished T-20 in Jackson two years ago.

#20 Patrick Rodgers

Rodgers owns one of the better records in Jackson, with three cuts made in three trips and two top-20 finishes.

#21 Henrik Stenson

It was difficult to determine expectations for Stenson last week with so few events played worldwide since March. He played well in Punta Cana, finishing T-21. I still want to see more, but I am cautiously optimistic about Stenson in Jackson.

#22 Kristoffer Ventura

With his T-52 finish last week in the Dominican Republic, Ventura now has five consecutive cuts made on Tour, the longest stretch of his young career.

#23 Hudson Swafford

Swafford popped up and won last week, capturing his first title since 2017. There tends to be a "hangover" for most winners on Tour, so it'll be interesting to see how Swafford responds.

#24 Tyler McCumber

McCumber played very well last week, posting the clubhouse lead on Sunday before falling one shot short of Swafford. That finish will go a long way to ensuring McCumber plays deep into the FedEx Cup playoffs.

#25 Kyle Stanley

Stanley finished with a 68 on Sunday in Punta Cana and finished T-28. He's played better recently in weaker fields like we will have in Jackson, but he has missed the cut in all three trips to the Sanderson Farms.

#26 Hank Lebioda

Lebioda has been great with his full swing over the last handful of weeks, but his putter could not be any worse. It did start to heat up last week in Punta Cana, finishing T-21.

#27 Rob Oppenheim

Oppenheim is off to a nice start to the 2021 season, with a T-36 at the Safeway Open last week and a T-33 finish at Corales last week. He has more experience in Jackson than most others in this field, playing four times and making the cut in three of those.

#28 Doug Ghim

A few late bogeys derailed Ghim's hopes of making the weekend at Corales. There's still plenty to like about his tee-to-green game and his chances this week in Jackson.

#29 Michael Gligic

Gligic missed the cut last week for the first time in a handful of starts. I'm willing to forgive him and see if he can get back on track this week.

#30 Davis Riley

Riley has two wins this year on the Korn Ferry Tour and made the cut at this event last season. He's a Mississippi native, so he should be comfortable at the C.C. of Jackson.

Barring a tie, which would be so fitting, one of these franchises will become the fourth team this century to start 0-4 in consecutive seasons. Wishing I had taken the Jets Monday when they were getting 3 points as the money is pouring in on Gang Green to where it's a pick'em. The Broncos are devastated by injury and are giving UDFA Brett Rypien his first-ever start at QB. Isn't Sam Darnold better than him? If Darnold can't get well vs. a defense down many key guys, well, he shouldn't be an NFL starter. Meanwhile, the Jets should welcome back top WR Jamison Crowder. They are 4-1 in their past five at home.

Denver Broncos at New York Jets (PICK)
This is the dog game of the week, and it happens to be one that is on national television. Oh, boy. One of these 0-3 teams is a likely winner — there could be a tie — but who will it be? I'll go with the home team to wake up as Sam Darnold plays well and new Broncos starter Brett Rypien does not.

Pick: Jets 24, Broncos 17

Rob V: Thursdat Comp Play

Thursday Card has NFL Double System side, TOP MLB Playoff System and Soccer. Comp play below.

The La Liga Soccer comp play is on Sevilla at 1:00 eastern. Just a week ago Sevilla hung tough losing in extra time to the best team on the globe in Bayern Munich in the Super Cup. They followed up that heart breaking loss with an opening game 3-1 win over Cardiz. Now they are home for Levante who bounced back from a home loss with a 3-1 road win. Levante finished 12 th in the table last season and it will be tough for them to win a 2nd straight road win over a top team like Sevilla who is unbeaten here in the series over the last 5 meetings. Look for Sevilla to secure the full time win. On Thursday we have a Double System NFL Side, MLB Top play and Soccer Blowout. See us on facebook Jump on now and Cash out. For the Soccer Comp play. Go with Sevilla. Rob V- GC Sports.

Wish I had jumped on this earlier, but I'll still back the Jets at pick'-em against the Broncos, who are led by third-string QB Brett Rypien. New York should get a boost from the (expected) return of Jamison Crowder and tackles Mekhi Becton and George Fant. Look for Gregg Williams' scheme to force turnovers as the Jets finally win.

MIAMI @ CHI. CUBS | 10/01 | 2:08 PM EDT
9:17 AM
The Marlins are 0-10 on the road after a game as road dogs in which their opponent had fewer than six hits and fewer than 13 strikeouts and it is not a series opener. Miami lost those 10 games by an average of 4.6 runs. The Cubs, on the other hand, are 12-0 in the second game of a home series when they are off a loss in which they held the lead. Chicago is 25-0 before game No. 95 at home off a game as a favorite in which it used five-plus pitchers, did not win by five-plus runs and the bullpen did not allow five-plus runs.

Cincinnati has been terrible when seeking immediate revenge for a shutout loss, going 0-8 before game No. 150 on the road after a shutout road loss when it is not a series opener. The Reds were in this spot twice this season and they were outscored 19-2 in the two. The Braves have done well in this spot, going 11-0 at home off a home game in which they struck out more than five times, drew fewer than four walks and scored in two or fewer innings. Atlanta won those 11 games by an average of 5.00 runs.
