New York Giants vs. New York Jets Prediction
I’m backing the Giants in this one. I just think New York has greater QB depth and more of a QB battle going on for the higher end spots in their depth chart, while the Jets had a solid win over Pittsburgh but more so it was because of their defense stalling a bad Pittsburgh offense in that game. I think the Giants do enough to grind out the win and cover here so give me the Giants.
