Over\/Under:<\/strong> 33.5<\/p>\nThe big new here involves New York Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas. If you haven\u2019t heard of him, don\u2019t feel bad. Not even everyone on the Giants roster has heard of the third-year DB.<\/p>\n
The Jets certainly hadn\u2019t, at least until a few days ago when Thomas said that the Giants still own the town, and the stadium still belonged to them, and that the Jets haven\u2019t taken over. Good stuff, especially from a guy who isn\u2019t even a starter.<\/p>\n
As a non-starter, Thomas will likely get a chance to see serious minutes when the stars hit the bench in this one, probably sometime early in the second period.<\/p>\n
And while this game won\u2019t mean much in the way of bragging rights even though these teams don\u2019t meet in the regular season, it should be a fun 60 minutes of football. ![\"Sports](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_870\")
<\/p>\n
A couple of subplots:<\/strong><\/p>\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Rex Ryan, who never met a cheeseburger he didn\u2019t like, vs. Tom Coughlin, a mother superior type who demands that his players eat all their vegetables. Edge here to the Jets, whose coach no doubt wants this one a bit more than the Giants\u2019 boss.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How much will Mark Sanchez play? Maybe a series more than Eli Manning, who has serious foot problems last season. Sanchez needs to get his timing down with newcomer Santonio Holmes, so expect a few passes in that direction.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Has the Giants defense figured out what was wrong last season and taken any steps to improve? It\u2019s almost inconceivable, but the Giants gave up more points (427) last season than any other team in the NFC not located in St. Louis or Detroit.\u00a0\u00a0New defensive coordinator Perry Fewell was brought in to stop the bleeding, and any change has to be an improvement.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What\u2019s the deal with the playing surface? A few months ago the Giants\u2019 Domenick Hixon was lost for the season when he suffered an ACL tear while working out on the new surface, and at least one teammate == Mathias Kiwanuka — said the turf was at least partially responsible for the injury. If anyone else goes down there will be lots more questions asked about it.<\/p>\n
Prediction \u2013 Love the Jets in this one, based on motivation alone. It\u2019s hard to win the preseason Super Bowl when you start 0-1. The O\/U is a minuscule 33, especially for a first game when defensive assignments are blown left and right. OVER is the play.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nComment on this game below, hit us with your pregame NFL picks and predictions…<\/strong><\/p>\nGrab yourself a 50% SIGN UP BONUS today at Sportsbook.com!
