Geno Smith Favored to Lead NFL in Interceptions Again
Geno Smith, who previously played for the Raiders, is now with the Jets and is favored to lead the NFL in interceptions for the upcoming season. Last year, he recorded 17 interceptions, making him the league leader.
Smith's odds to lead the league in interceptions are set at +950 according to DraftKings. Factors contributing to this prediction include his past performance and the expectation that the Jets may struggle, potentially leading to more desperate passing situations in the fourth quarter.
The Jets' quarterback depth is limited, with Bailey Zappe, Brady Cook, and rookie Cade Klubnik as alternatives, which may affect Smith's playing time if he underperforms. Other quarterbacks in the running for the interception title include Brock Purdy of the 49ers at +1000 and Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars at +1100.
