After taking on the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL preseason, the New York Giants now have a different type of in-state rivalry. This time, it’s in New Jersey with the cross-town rival New York Jets. The QB position alone makes this an intriguing matchup, so we’ve got our best Jets vs. Giants predictions for you.

Locking in Jets vs. Giants picks is also perfect with the brand new DraftKings Sportsbook promo code bonus, which you’ll find the details of below as well.

Jets vs. Giants Predictions For NFL Preseason Week 2, Saturday 8/16

Last season, this would have been an Aaron Rodgers vs. Daniel Jones matchup, which won’t be the case on Saturday, and not just because teams rest starters in the preseason. These are two teams that have completely different QB rooms.

A young Justin Fields and seasoned veteran Russell Wilson are currently listed as #1 for the Jets and Giants, respectively, both of whom took the field last week. Given that both teams still need to evaluate things with guys like rookie Jaxson Dart showing plenty of promise for the G-Men last Saturday, we expect more of the same this weekend.

The Ole Miss product led the Giants to a 34-25 win over the Buffalo Bills with 154 yards, a touchdown, and a 106 QB rating. Even his three rushes for eight yards per carry were nothing to ignore.

It was also on the Giants' side of the Hudson River that got more attention with rookie and #3 overall pick Abdul Carter out of Penn State. The elite edge rusher was able to give Giants fans plenty of hope for a better season than last year, something that the fan base is desperate for at this point.

That certainly plays a role in them being favored according to the latest Jets vs. Giants odds, and speaking of those lines, let’s get into the best bet from our Jets vs. Giants predictions.
 

 

 

Jets vs. Giants Best Bet: Over 38.5 Points (-115 At DraftKings)

If you’re one who has been on the preseason under train in recent years, hopefully you’re ready to hop off. If the 2025 NFL preseason Week 1 taught us anything, it’s that the teams that have position battles to figure out can, and will, put up points.

Even the two ties saw 46+ points scored in each matchup, and the two teams in this matchup lit up the scoreboard. That’s not something we’ve been able to say in the regular season in recent years, but since they’re both figuring out the most important position of QB, we can expect that this preseason.

The Jets and Giants combined for 64 points last weekend, and even if we don’t get quite that many again this Saturday, even a casual 40 will do. Starting QBs Justin Fields and Russell Wilson are expected to be back in action, and even if they don’t instill a ton of confidence in you, we saw that Jaxson Dart can take care of things himself.

Leading the Giants to 34 points was their most in a preseason game since 2017, and they also allowed 25 to a Bills team that has no interest in risking the health of any key players. Along with Jets #7 overall draft pick Armand Membou helping to bolster the line to improve the offense, the over 38.5 points (-115 at DraftKings) is the best bet from our Jets vs. Giants predictions.
