Jets vs Giants Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets haven't been great this season but they are still right at .500 with their 3-3 record overall and they are going to have the momentum behind them coming out of their bye week after beating the Eagles in their last game. The Giants are also going to have some momentum here as they just won their last game against a division opponent but they have also been terrible this season with their 2-5 record overall and they have had some big problems on both offense and defense. Their defense has been playing better lately but their offense has still struggled to put up points and the Jets do have a good defense that will cause problems for the Giants offense. The Jets have also been getting better on offense with Wilson running the show and another week with the bye will have him really prepared for this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to cover the spread in this game.
Jets Giants Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 29, 2023 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Jets 23 Giants 16.
