Jacksonville at New York

The Giants and the Jaguars were light years apart in 2017, but that bridge appears to have been narrowed considerably. The Giants finished 11-5 in 2016 and dropped to 3-13 a year ago, as things can change fast in the NFL. The Giants appear to have put all their chips in to making a run in 2018 with 37-year-old QB Eli Manning. It starts with Odell Beckham Jr., as when he went out injured last year the wheels came off the offense. He will be complimented by Sheppard and Engram this season. Saquon Barkley gives the Giants a versatile RB that could help close games and keep defenses honest and tough to defend. Jacksonville had a breakout season last year, but this is also a team that has not made consecutive playoff appearances since 1999. Everything went right for the Jags last season, including Blake Bortles throwing zero INTs in the playoffs. The Jaguars are mostly the same, but often times a team that has everything go right one year, meets a different fortune the next. The Giants are hungry and ready, so take the points on New York.
