Close to 65% of tracked NFL Preseason bettors are taking the Giants here, so the line move against them is a bit of a head scratcher. The home team has won all 5 head-to-head meetings between these teams since 1997, including most recently in 2010 when the Giants won 24-20 as an 8-point favorite. Jacksonville won 26-10 in 2006 in the last game they played host to New York, and the over has been a winner in 4 of the 5 career meetings.
You probably won’t see much of Eli Manning playing in this one, so the Giants will spend most of their snaps on backup quarterbacks David Carr and Ryan Perrilloux. Head Coach Tom Coughlin has a 16-16 record in the preseason during his stint with the Giants, and that includes a 4-4 record in week 1. Coughlin’s statistics as the coach of the Jaguars are not included here.
Current Jacksonville Head Coach Mike Mularkey has a 2-0 record in week 1 NFL Preseason games and it appears to be the only week he puts much emphasis on considering his overall 3-5 preseason record as a member of the Jaguars. Jacksonville will put out a mix of Blaine Gabbert, Chad Henne, Jordan Palmer, and Nathan Enderle at the quarterback position.
