New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is down from +1600 to +250 in futures markets for Coach of the Year and New York Jets coach Robert Saleh is down from +7500 to +800 over the course of this month favor.
But when it comes to betting that either of these two will beat Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni for the prize, New York players are all about Big Blue.
“As of midnight, Brian Daboll has captured 59% of the bets and 72% of the handle in the NFL Coach of the Year market. Robert Saleh has only had one bet for him since midnight,” Fan Duel spokesperson Kevin Hennessy told Casino.org on Monday. At the time, New Yorkers mourned the Yankees but took solace in the success of the two local football teams, whose winning streak shocked the NFL and sports-betting universe.
As we reported last week, the nine sportsbooks operating in New York were hit hard with the Jets and Giants going into Sunday’s games. The Giants defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-17, improving the NFL’s second-best record to 6-1. The Jets defeated the Denver Broncos 16-9 for their first four-game winning streak since 2015.
The lack of action in the Jets’ trainer can be explained in two ways:
- New Yorkers have to go to a neighboring state to place coach of the year bets, and more of these can be made throughout the workweek if players find time to cross the line and close those bets in New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania place.
- Jets fans might think Saleh isn’t such a big bet anymore because the win came with a hefty price tag: Star rookie running back Breece Hall tore an anterior cruciate ligament and was carted off the field in the second quarter. He was the frontrunner to be named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Appreciate the endless love and support! Another step on the journey, see you soon❤️🤞🏾 https://t.co/igPCYca5Qn

Saleh must now find someone to replace the Iowa State rookie, who had a 62-yard touchdown streak in the first quarter and hit a top speed of 21.87 mph — the fastest of any this season, according to Next Gen Stats NFL ball carrier. He averaged 5.8 yards per carry and has twice as many rushing yards as the Jets’ second option, halfback Michael Carter.
But the safest bet of the week is the notion that Jets general manager Joe Douglas will be scouting the league for trade options. So the Jets are trying to build on the only positive momentum they’ve seen since 2015. If a deal is made, it must be made soon. The NFL trade deadline is November 1.
What’s next for the Giants and Jets?
Gang Green plays the New England Patriots at home next Sunday and opened as a 2 1/2 point underdog against the 3-3 Patriots.
The Giants are up against the 4-3 Seahawks, who lead the AFC West, in Seattle, and the visitors have opened as 3-point underdogs. This will be the fourth straight week the Giants have been playing as underdogs, and they are tied with the Atlanta Falcons for the NFL lead with a 6-1-0 record against the spread (ATS). The Jets are 5-2-0 ATS, as are the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals. And they are 4-0 away for the first time since 2010, which was also the last time they qualified for the playoffs.
The Jets beat their opponents 74-20 in the fourth quarter.
“This one showed we have a little bit of dog in us,” Carter told reporters in Denver on Sunday.
It was a day of mixed feelings for the New York sports fan after the Yankees were swept out of the playoffs by the Houston Astros. This may be Aaron Judge’s last game in Pinstripes. He’s a free agent this offseason and may want to leave the Bronx after fans booed him while he hit 15 times in 36 at-bats in nine postseason games.
The success of the Giants and Jets is beautiful. But the Yankees were within reach of going to the World Series for the first time since 2009, and now they’re out of the picture. That gap could eventually be filled by the Giants and/or the Jets. But her fans are both bitten by the snake and in disbelief at this winning streak.

What does it take for Daboll or Saleh to win?
We’re still not halfway through the NFL season, and fortunes can change in the blink of an eye in the NFL, as Hall learned in Denver.
The Giants have played only one division opponent, the Cowboys, and lost to them in Week 3 on Monday Night Football. After the game against Seattle, they have a bye week and then play the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions, the teams with the two worst records in the entire NFL. On Thanksgiving afternoon against the Cowboys, they begin a stretch of four straight games and five of their last seven against NFC East opponents, including two against the league-leading Eagles.
The Jets have to play the Buffalo Bills and MVP favorite Josh Allen in two weeks, then have a bye week before playing the Patriots again. Road games in Minnesota and Buffalo take up the first two Sundays of December so the schedule is going to get very tough very soon.
Still, 5-2 is 5-2, and if Saleh can get his team to recover from season-ending injuries to Hall and former pick lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker with a torn tricep, he might actually end up being the one more earned by the two New York head coaches. Vera-Tucker started this season as a right guard, left tackle and right tackle, blocking Hall and quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Joe Flacco.
Hall was the face of the Jets’ transformation into a run-dependent offense. His 681 scrimmage yards is the fourth-highest by a Jets player in the team’s first seven games in the last 20 seasons. The group ahead of him includes running backs Curtis Martin (917 in 2004) and LaDainian Tomlinson (688 in 2010) and wide receiver Brandon Marshall (686 in 2015).

Both teams still have longshots for the Super Bowl
Thirteen teams have lower odds than the +4000 line for the Giants to win the Super Bowl and there are 17 teams with lower odds than Salah’s Jets which are at +8000 along with Kyler Murray and the 3-4 Arizona Cardinals, the es are tied for last place in the NFC West.
The lack of respect from the odds makers hasn’t escaped the notice of the two New York metro area soccer teams. This is especially true given the saturation advertising taking place in the New York market as the nine licensed operators in New York and a dozen other companies operating in New Jersey are flooding the airwaves with advertising.
Many of those ads come from DraftKings, which cut the odds of Daboll’s Coach of the Year from +450 to +250 and Saleh’s from +2000 on Sunday to +800 on Monday, spokeswoman Cassie Buontempo said.
Or to put it another way, JB Smoove seems to be everywhere lately:
NEW YORK OPPORTUNITIES BOOST
Jets, Giants AND Yankees all win today 🗽
Increased from +660 ➡️ +750 🚀
