The NFL playoffs are on the horizon, and both New York teams are trying to bounce back from losses that could potentially cripple their chances at reaching the postseason. This week’s meeting at MetLife stadium is a must-win for each of these teams.

Giants Jets Odds - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

The Giants (7-7) were thumped 23-10 at home by Washington and if you’re a person that uses price per head services, you may be pushing the Giants out of the picture after five losses in six weeks. The defense hasn’t been playing well outside of Jason Pierre-Paul, and Eli Manning has taken care of the football better than he showed against the Redskins. It appears that the Giants may have overlooked the Redskins.

The Jets (8-6) were hammered 45-19 in Philadelphia as they committed half of the game’s eight turnovers, and they were down 28-0 halfway through the second quarter. Mark Sanchez has taken a step backward in his NFL development and that allows teams to stop the Jets’ running game. The Jets had won three in a row heading into Philly, but they looked out of sorts on Sunday.

NFL betting lines have the Jets as a 3-point favorite at “home” in the stadium they share with the Giants, who have won both meetings with the Jets since 2003. Neither defense played well on Sunday, and this could be a high-scoring affair. Lean towards Manning and the Giants in your sports betting online picks.
