NFL Preseason Week 3 – Giants vs. Jets
In the week 3 preseason game between the Giants and the Jets, neither team will have to travel too far since both teams share MetLife Stadium as their home field. Officially, the Jets will be the home team and this bitter rivalry will allow one team to have bragging rights as the best football team in New York City.
Some online sportsbooks have this game listed as a pick’em, meaning there is no point spread on this game. Other sportsbooks have listed the Giants as a -1 point favorite as the “Road team.”
Nevertheless, Eli Manning will likely bring his best game while the Jets try to rebuild their defense and feed the ball to Bilal Powell, a journeyman running back that put up impressive numbers last season.
This game is set to kick off on August 27th 2016 at 7:30PM. The Giants and Jets 2016 preseason game will be broadcast internationally on the NFL Network. Jets head coach Todd Bowles may be on a short leash this season, as the Jets front office is motivated more than ever to win the division and get back into the playoffs.
The Giants’ head coach Ben McAdoo may also feel the pressure to perform, considering the fact that he is replacing the legendary Tom Coughlin as head coach. Can McAdoo help the Giants become relevant once again in the NFL?
