New York Giants vs. New York Jets Betting Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
| Giants | -120 | -1.5 (-110) | 31.5 over (-110) |
| Jets | +100 | +1.5 (-110) | 31.5 under (-110) |
The Giants are a little favored- possibly because of their depth perception despite not having an impressive pre-season record like the Jets. With such a tight spread, this game will be closely contested and the total points indicate low-scoring preseason games.
Tommy DeVito QB vs. Adrian Martinez QB
The Giants’ Tommy DeVito has been consistent throughout preseason but not quite productive; he has completed just over fifty percent of his attempts and yet no interceptions have been intercepted against him. In fact, only 167 passing yards were thrown in two games which showed passiveness rather than aggressiveness.
However, the Jets’ Adrian Martinez’s completions rate is lower (48.1%) and he has only a few more yards on his account. Nonetheless, some interceptions and lower passer rating when compared to DeVito are indications that Martinez finds it hard to make decisions. Hence, mobility of Martinez can add a different dimension to the offensive game of his team.
When DeVito faces off with Martinez on the field their contrasting styles will be important. While losing some games, DeVito’s deliberate play will test the Jets’ defense with several weaknesses observed in this regard. Conversely, quickness should be used by Martinez to reduce the pass rush made by the Giants and improve upon accuracy during stressful moments.
Giants’ Ground and Air Attack
The Giants can be thankful to Eric Gray for being a game-breaker as he has managed an incredible 10.0 yards per rush while scoring two touchdowns in a single pre-season game. The ball in his hands spells doom for the opposing teams and it is because of this that whenever he touches the ball, games are changed. On the other side Darius Slayton’s average reception of almost 20 yards means that he can make plays anywhere on the field, but it will need much more from him to widen their offensive arsenal.
Jets’ Offensive Playmakers
Braelon Allen has been effective on the ground for the Jets who have gained 81 yards between them over two matches. This means that getting past defenders and maintaining some forward momentum after contact will be very important in this match particularly considering that they face a strong Giants defense. Although Smith rarely gets time on the field, when he does his catches yield 20.3 yards per catch, which provides an upfield threat against the Giants’ secondary.

New York Giants vs. New York Jets Betting Previews
This game, therefore, presents itself as a well-balanced betting opportunity when looking at both teams’ preseason performances and historical matchups. Breaking their dreadful ATS streak against the Jets would however add a layer of intrigue to the Giants. On trends and form, it should be a close match with few goals scored that will make the under on total points more favorable.
Tightly contested though this might be, they are slightly better balanced as a team and also due to their desperation to fix some recent ATS issues versus the Jets, New York’s other team could come out with a win. The most reasonable choice based on expert NFL prediction insights is betting on the New York Giants covering plus staying under total points.
Score Prediction: Giants 17, Jets 14.
