Jets Go Back to Wilson

The New York Jets will see if former starting quarterback Zach Wilson has learned his lesson after his three-week benching.

Wilson was named the starting quarterback Friday for injured quarterback Mike White, who was not cleared for contact by team doctors due to a rib injury he had suffered in last week’s road loss to the Buffalo Bills.

On Sunday, Wilson and the Jets host the NFC’s Detroit Lions (6-7), who are also pushing for the postseason (CBS, 1 p.m.).

White played with passion and showed a resiliency that had sparked the Jets’ offense by opening up the team’s passing attack after taking over as the starter in Week 12. He has thrown twice for more than 300 yards.

Wilson, the team’s No. 2 overall pick from BYU in 2021, now has a chance to re-engage himself not only among his teammates but with the rabid fanbase.

As of early Friday afternoon at DraftKings Sportsbook NY, the Lions are a 1-point and -115 moneyline favorite over the Jets.

New York is at -105 on the moneyline with the game’s over/under point total at 44.

The Jets have won four of their last five meetings against the Lions, including a 48-17 road triumph in their last matchup in 2018.

Giants Hit Road in Rivalry Showdown

The hope for Sunday night is that a winner can be decided and a jump ahead in playoff chances can be secured as the New York Giants (7-5-1) visit an NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders (7-5-1), at 8:20 p.m. on NBC. 

Both teams managed a 20-20 tie at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Dec. 3 and both are going in opposite directions.

The Giants are 0-1-3 in their last four games. Washington, coming off a bye week, is 3-0-1.

DraftKings makes the Commanders a 4.5-point and -210 moneyline favorite over the Giants. New York is +180 as a moneyline underdog with the game’s over/under point total at 40.5.
