The game script isn’t too favorable for any of the Jets’ running backs as New York is labeled as a 10.5-point underdog. With the team trying to play catchup and Mike White coming off of his 400+ yard performance, Carter may not get many carries out of the backfield.
It’s a number he’s failed to reach in five of his seven games and that could increase to six out of eight after Thursday’s game. The game will start at 8:20 p.m. EST and can be seen on either FOX or the NFL Network.
