The Jets vs the Giants is a regular NFL preseason fixture. The Jets have cashed in 11 of the last 13 meetings, an incredible record, but note that they lost last season's meeting 15-14. The Giants were 6.5 point dogs for that one, but for Friday's game Bodog has the Giants listed as 4 point favorites.
The Giants are technically the "away" team for the game but of course these two teams share the same stadium. The money has come for the Giants who opened as 3-point favorites and are now listed at 4.5 points with some online sportsbooks.
Thursday's game has also seen money come for the betting favorite. In this case the Panthers have gone from an opening call of 4 points out to 4.5 points, not the biggest betting move we have seen by any means, but still indicative of some support. The total points number has remained steady at the opening call of 36.5 points.
The Ravens have gone Under the points total in their last six road games, and travel to the Vikings on Friday night.
On Saturday the Patriots travel to Washingon to play the Redskins. New England has cashed 6 of their last 8 games against the Redskins, who are nevertheless favored by 3.5 points for this one.
