Why the over/under for Jets-Redskins is so low
Todd BowlesDespite all the superlatives surrounding a very strong debut from Sam Darnold, betting markets have posted one of the lowest Over/Unders of Week 2 in Thursday night’s exhibition battle between the Jets and Washington. William Hill currently has the total set at 39 ¹/\u2082 points. Only Chiefs/Falcons is lower at 39.
Half the games this week are at 41 or higher. This represents a huge market-wide rise from last week, after Overs bettors cashed 11 of 16 tickets last week against totals centering in the 36-37 range.
Why is the total in Jets-Redskins so low? First, both the Jets and Redskins scored 17 points last week with team passing stats that were very similar.
