Oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook have released their Over/Under win total projections for the 2026 NFL season, and the New York Giants and New York Jets are both expected to improve from their dismal 2025 campaigns. The Giants' Over/Under is set at 7.5 wins, while the Jets' is at 5.5 wins, signaling optimism for football fans in the Empire State.
Why it matters
The Jets and Giants have been among the worst teams in the NFL in recent years, combining for just 7 wins in 2025. The sportsbooks' projections suggest the teams could be poised for a turnaround, which would be a welcome sign for New York football fans eager to see their local teams return to relevance.
The details
The Giants' Over/Under win total of 7.5 has significant juice on the under (-130), indicating the market expects them to take a big leap forward with a new head coach after moving on from Brian Daboll. Meanwhile, the Jets' Over/Under of 5.5 wins has more juice towards the under (-140), as the team hasn't made major roster improvements and still lacks a clear answer at quarterback after the ineffective season of Justin Fields.
- The 2026 NFL season win total projections were released by DraftKings Sportsbook on February 19, 2026.
The players
Brian Daboll
The former Giants head coach who was let go after the 2025 season.
John Harbaugh
The new head coach of the New York Giants, hired to replace Brian Daboll.
Aaron Glenn
The head coach of the New York Jets, who is returning for the 2026 season despite a 3-14 record in 2025.
Justin Fields
The Jets' starting quarterback in 2025 who is expected to be released by the team this offseason.
Tua Tagovailoa
A veteran quarterback who could be a potential target for the Jets to fill their quarterback vacancy.
Kyler Murray
Another veteran quarterback who could be a potential target for the Jets to fill their quarterback vacancy.
What’s next
The Jets will need to address their quarterback situation this offseason, either by signing a veteran free agent like Tua Tagovailoa or Kyler Murray, or by drafting a new QB. The Giants will also be closely watched as they transition to a new head coach in John Harbaugh.
The takeaway
The betting market's optimism for the Jets and Giants in 2026 suggests that football fans in New York could be in for an exciting season, with both teams poised to take a step forward after years of struggles. However, the Jets in particular will need to make significant improvements to their roster and find a reliable quarterback to fulfill the sportsbooks' projections.
