Seeing this matchup extremely tight on the spread and moneyline is unsurprising. The Jets are -130 moneyline favorites, along with 1.5-point favorites. The NFL’s Hall of Fame Game total is just 33.5, with the over coming in at -105, followed by the under at -115.

Although we won’t be seeing the debut of Aaron Rodgers on the field as a Jet, fans should be looking forward to seeing the adjustments that former second-overall pick Zach Wilson has made. Learning under Rodgers should be a valuable experience for the young signal-caller who’s yet to find his footing in the league. Along with Wilson, the Jets faithful will see first-round pick Will McDonald IV debut. He’s expected to bring more rushing ability off the edge and recorded 34 career sacks at Iowa State. 

The Browns and Jets each finished 7-10 last season. Expectations have both teams taking a step forward in 2023, but we’ll need to see it on the football field and that starts on Thursday night. 

If we’re looking at a sample size of the last five NFL Hall of Fame Games, the average combined point total has been 30. Knowing that, we’re content siding with the under 33.5 here as our best bet of the game.
