New York football fans have one final day before the suffering begins. Here’s what’s in store for the season.<\/p>\n

Jets fans:<\/strong> It has been too long since Joe Namath won your only Super Bowl in 1969, back when gasoline was 34 cents per gallon and Woodstock was six months away. So you know what likely awaits you despite head coach Robert Saleh’s best intentions. Things will go wrong this season, despite the undefeated preseason, and whether it happens in September or October or — just imagine — January, there will come a point when the “Same Old Jets” moment happens.<\/p>\n

Giants fans:<\/strong> After watching what we all watched in Game 2 last season, when the Washington Football team won on a second chance game-ending field goal on an untimed down (because Dexter Lawrence of the Giants was offsides on the first kick, a miss), you are all hereby excused if you did not watch a single ensuing game in the 4-13 disaster of a season. Brian Daboll is the new head coach after Joe Judge became Ray Handley 2.0.<\/p>\n

The Jets open at home at 1 p.m. EDT, and Joe Flacco gets an alumni game if Zach Wilson stays out. The Ravens dumped Flacco after 11 decent seasons, eight of which featured him completing at least 60 percent of his passes. Flacco has been interception prone throughout his career, but Baltimore ranked 29th in defensive takeaways last season. Will that matter against Team Snake Bit?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Jets are 6 1\/2-point home underdogs, which means they are in the company of the Texans and Bears, who are both getting seven at home. So no, Vegas does not believe in Gang Green.<\/p>\n

What Are The Key Wagering Points?<\/h2>\n

The Jets were 6-11-0 against the spread last season but 3-5 ATS as a home underdog, and they went over in 10 of 17 games, with half of those overs coming when they were a home underdog, which happened eight times. So while that data does not exactly scream “Take the Jets and the over,” it is what it is. Their O\/U line against Baltimore is 44, and the Ravens went just 1-4 on overs last season as a road favorite.<\/p>\n

The Giants face the tall task of trying to stop monster running back Derrick Henry of the Titans, who outweighs most of the Giants’ starting defensive unit. Henry was been working out in a sandpit to regain strength in the broken foot that limited him to 8 games last season after he led the NFL in rushing yards in 2020. Big Blue has always prided itself on its defense, so here is a daunting first test.<\/p>\n
