M 87 is the first extragalactic source detected in the TeV γ-ray domain that is not a blazar, its large scale jet not being aligned to the line of sight. We present here a multi-blob synchrotron self-Compton model accounting explicitly for large viewing angles and moderate Lorentz factors as inferred from magnetohydrodynamic simulations of jet formation, motivated by the detection of M 87 at very high energies (VHE; E > 100 GeV). Predictions are presented for the very high-energy emission of active galactic nuclei with extended optical or X-ray jet, which could be misaligned blazars but still show some moderate beaming. We include predictions for 3C 273, Cen A and PKS 0521–36.
