Randy’s Pick

Even with wins over the Broncos and Eagles, I’m not excited to lay chalk with the New York Jets on the road. However, the Jets defense should be the difference here, as the Giants are still dealing with injuries, the offensive line sucks, and they’re 32nd in scoring offense. The Giants have no offense to speak of, and they’re going up against one of the most talented defenses in the league in the Jets. I’ll lay the field goal with the Jets.
