The Jets will be 5-3 after their first eight games of the 2026 regular season.

First call: May 14, 2026, 5:44 PM ET · Deadline: Nov 1, 2026, 1:00 PM ET · Prospective capture

THE ORIGINAL TAKE
“So 5-3 after 8.”
OPEN THE ORIGINAL POST ↗

What we’re scoring

The post concludes with an explicit 5-3 prediction and eight individual picks that add to five wins. The earlier wording allows 4-4 as a downside scenario, but the final selected forecast is 5-3. Later 6-2 projections are revisions of this same eight-game record, not additional scored predictions.

The ruling

The Jets fell to 2-4 after their 26-19 loss at New England on October 18, 2026. The official Week 6 game center confirms the final and the 2-4 record; the official schedule lists wins over Tennessee and Cleveland and losses to Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago and New England. With two games left in the first eight, their best possible record is 4-4. Four losses already exceed the three allowed by the original 5-3 forecast, so it is mathematically impossible and is graded incorrect before Week 8. The original call and later revisions remain preserved in the source history.
