We have yet to make it out of the NFL preseason, but all the football pundits have already made their predictions for the 2017 NFL season. Many of the people in that esteemed group have the Jets as the worst team in the league this year, and given how they performed last season, it does not seem like a particularly difficult prediction to make, especially when it comes to adding the updated betting odds for this NFL season. Defensively this preseason, the Jets have not looked particularly bad, but they have been downright awful on offense.
It’s never a good idea to get too up or down based on the performances of a team in the preseason, but there has to be legitimate cause for concern with what the guys in green and white are doing on the offensive side of the football. As for the Giants, it’s tough to know what to make of them this coming season. They have a good group of receivers, but can Eli Manning deliver one greater season? Speaking of receivers, the Giants are likely to be without the services of Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshal for this game, as both were injured in Week 2 of the preseason.
GAMETIME WEATHER
The Giants had a solid 11-6 record last season, losing in the Wild Card round in the playoffs. They have been a little up and down over the past 3 seasons, posting a 23-26 record, which included a 13-11 record at home. The Giants have proven to be a very good bet over the past 3 seasons when in as the home favorite, going 11-4 during that stretch.
The Giants were right in the middle of the pack ATS last season with a 9-7-1 record, which took their 3-year tally to 24-23-2. The New York Giants were a little better when playing at home, as they were able to go 13-11 ATS since 2014. As a home favorite during this time, they posted an 8-7 record ATS, making them a little bit of a coin flip bet.
Your best bet with the Giants last season was the UNDER, as they posted a 5-12 O/U record, taking their 3-year total in this betting category to 26-23, showing that last season was a bit of an aberration. The Giants went 13-11 O/U as the home team, and 8-7 as the home favorite.
