Daniel Jones takes the field Sunday for his second career NFL start when the Giants host the Redskins (1 p.m., Fox). Betting markets have largely reacted to last week’s upset victory over the Buccaneers with a big yawn.

The Giants spent most of the week laying -2¹/u2082 or -3 points versus their division rivals. You regulars know that’s about the standard value of home-field advantage in pro football. The market usually allots 3 points, but many respected bettors believe 2¹/u2082 makes more sense for divisional games because of site and travel familiarity.
