Prediction

NY Jets 20, Redskins 17

Moneyline (?)

The JETS (+115) remain a solid play because of the small price and value vs. the Redskins (-139). They have shown some offensive spark at times, particularly last week against the Giants. Washington can be just as bad defensively, especially considering an inexperienced quarterback could mean more time on the field spent.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Jets to win returns a profit of $11.50 with a victory.

Against the Spread (?)

Taking the Jets to win on the moneyline means picking them against the spread as well at (+2.5, -110). If  QB Case Keenum was starting, maybe there would have been some consideration but not now. New York has the momentum from last week’s win on their side.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 38.5 (-106) is the bet here. The Redskins averaging just 12 points per game makes this a reasonable wager. Also, weather could come into play with a possible coastal storm. Expect cold and potentially rainy/windy conditions.
