The New York Jets begin a new era and look to put behind them a disastrous 2020 campaign in their 2021 preseason opener Saturday against the rival New York Giants. Kickoff at MetLife Stadium will be at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Jets at Giants odds and lines.
Jets fans and the rest of the NFL can expect to get their first game-action look at QB Zach Wilson. The No. 2 overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft should lead a couple drives under first-year head coach Robert Saleh. Rookie RB Michael Carter, taken in the fourth round, should also get a good look as a potential candidate to lead the backfield in the regular season.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley was activated from the physically unable to perform list Monday, but he’s unlikely to see the field at all in the preseason after missing nearly all of the 2020 campaign. QB Daniel Jones should get adequate time with his new-look receiving corps for head coach Joe Judge.
