We’re looking ahead to the 2026 NFL season in February.
Oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook have already released Over/Under win totals for the 2026 NFL season, and the New York teams are projected to improve – although it couldn’t get much worse.
The Giants’ Over/Under win total projection is 7.5, with significant juice on the under (-130).
The market clearly expects Big Blue to take a massive leap with a new coach, as they moved on from Brian Daboll in favor of John Harbaugh.
Meanwhile, the Jets stayed stagnant at head coach, keeping Aaron Glenn in the building despite a 3-14 season.
Gang Green’s Over/Under is sitting at 5.5 wins on DraftKings, with more significant juice towards the under (-140).
The Jets haven’t really improved their roster this year, and they don’t have a quarterback just yet.
Justin Fields is expected to be released by the Jets later this offseason, leaving the team to fill the role elsewhere, perhaps with a veteran like Tua Tagovailoa or Kyler Murray – both of whom will likely be looking for new homes.
In theory, those two quarterbacks will raise the Jets’ floor, considering Fields was completely ineffective last season.
Betting on the NFL?
The two New York teams combined for just seven wins in 2025, so the renewed optimism for football in the Empire State is a welcome sign for those hoping for improvement this coming season.
The Jets have the worst record in the NFL since 2020, going 28-73, while the Giants are right behind them with a 32-68-1 record in that span.
