Jets vs Giants Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

If you're betting anything but an under in this game, you're doing it wrong. The Jets and Giants both rank bottom five in Offensive DVOA, and Taylor and Zach Wilson are two of the league's worst starting quarterbacks playing behind makeshift offensive lines.

We already know the Giants offense won't score on a good Jets defense, but the truth is that both defenses are trending up. The Giants defense is above league average itself by DVOA over the past four weeks, and it's also been better at home. Unders at 37 or below since November 2019 are 20-5-1 (80%).

How low can you go? When the total dips this low, recent history says the answer is "not low enough." Books just can't adjust far enough for the extreme outliers, and the offenses look extremely outmatched in this game, especially with all the offensive line injuries.

Pick: Under 35.5 (-110)
