Giants vs. Jets: NFL experts make Week 8 picks
The New York Giants (2-5) will host the New York Jets (3-3) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 3-point home underdogs and that’s precisely where the spread remains as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 8 matchup:
Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Jets | N/A |
Mike Clay (ESPN) | Jets | N/A |
Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Jets | N/A |
Pete Prisco (CBS) | Jets | 21-16 |
John Breech (CBS) | Jets | 19-16 |
Jordan Dajani (CBS) | Jets | N/A |
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Jets | 17-16 |
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Jets | 20-14 |
Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Jets | 24-14 |
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Jets | 24-13 |
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Jets are a popular pick over the Giants but we’d be lying if we said we anticipated a clean sweep by the above panel.
Although all 10 are going with Gang Green, most expect it to be a close, low-scoring game. That makes sense given that both offenses are among the league’s worst.
Experts from around the NFL are also heavily favoring the Jets but not at a 100 percent clip. According to NFL Pickwatch, 82 percent are picking the Giants to fall on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Fans agree with 86 percent also picking the Jets.
