Giants at Jets picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 25, Jets 21
Money line
Preseason matchups are fun, but are tough to predict because of the variant nature of the games. Starters largely do not play and games are decided by players battling to just make an NFL roster.
What we will see is a QB battle between Davis Webb of the Giants and Streveler of the Jets.
If there is ever a preseason game where few starters play, if at all, and you must have some action on the game, treat it like a tossup and go for the big payout.
Take the GIANTS (+170).
Against the spread
PASS on the spread. With only a 3.5-point spread, there is no real room for error. Both teams have won both games, but only the Jets have won by more than 3 points.
Spread picks in the preseason are tossups. Again, go where the value is and that is with the money line.

Over/Under
The Giants’ 2 games had totals of 44 and 47 points. Both the Giants and their opponents each scored more than 20 points in both games.
The Jets’ 2 preseason games had totals of 44 and 40 points. They have scored more than 20 points in each game.
Both teams have scored and allowed points.
Betting the total on this feels like easy money. With the projected total only 38.5 points, you have to take OVER 38.5 (-105).
