New York improved to 2-7 on the season after Sunday’s win against the Giants. Still, oddsmakers are giving the nod — ever so slightly — to Big Blue’s NFC East rival in this Week 11 meeting with the Jets.
Gang Green will travel to the nation’s capital this week as underdogs. The Jets are currently seated at +1.5 points in the spread, according to BetMGM. This comes as somewhat of a surprise, as Washington holds a 1-8 record and sits dead-last in its division.
Still, the Jets are -106 in the money line, -115 against the spread and the greater odds sit with the over, set at 37.5 total points.
The Redskins, as 1.5-point favorites, sit at -115 in the money line, -106 against the spread and hold the advantage of playing at home on Sunday.
The last time these two teams met was in October 2015, when the Jets defended home turf with a 34-20 victory. In fact, New York has gotten the better of Washington in the last two meetings. The second came in 2011 with a 34-19 win at Washington.
That, however, is where the good news stops. All time, the Jets are 3-8 when facing the Redskins. The total points have favored the opposition by way of 248-192, leaving Washington as clear winners of the 11 matchups.
These representatives of the AFC and NFC East will meet this Sunday at 1 p.m. in Washington. While oddsmakers suggest it will be close, they also lack the confidence to see a future where the Jets take home a second-straight win.
