NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Jets vs. Giants
Jets vs. Giants
We have the battle of supremacy in East Rutherford. The Jets have done well for the adversity they've faced losing Aaron Rodgers. They have two great wins, including the upset against the Eagles. The defense hasn't been as dominant as last year but has played well against some great competition, including giving Jalen Hurts one of the worst performances in his young career. The Giants will play another game without Daniel Jones, but Tyrod Taylor has done well, was in line to beat the Bills, and looked great against the Commanders. This will be a tough assignment for that offense that has already been shut out this season. Neither team has offensively been good, and this low total is justified, but the Giants' offensive line has been better recently and isn't playing well on defense, so this game will hit the over.
Pick: Over 35.5

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
