Sportsbook Website – McNabb Out on Friday vs. Jets. Before you make your bet at the sportsbook website for the game between the Redskins and Jets you should be aware that Washington starting quarterback McNabb will not play. McNabb is out with a sprained ankle. The NFL odds at the sportsbook have moved toward the Jets and they could be laying close to a touchdown before Friday.
Sportsbook website lines are greatly impacted by an injury to a starting quarterback. This is the preseason so it is not quite as big but this is the third week which is when the starters normally go into the third quarter. That means the Redskins will likely go with Rex Grossman for at least a half.
Redskins Changes: The Redskins will be making some other changes for Friday’s game. The running back competition looks to have been won by Clinton Portis but Willie Parker is set to make his case on Friday and he will get the start.
It should be noted that Parker is a former starter for Pittsburgh while Grossman is an established NFL veteran quarterback. The Redskins may not miss McNabb as much as you might think. He was just 16 of 34 passes for 264 yards with one touchdown, one interception and a 71.2 rating in the preseason.
New York: The Jets would like to have a much better offensive performance on Friday against Washington. The offense was pretty sad last week when they were held to just nine points in a win over Carolina. Mark Sanchez is focused on having a solid game and getting the Jets into the end zone.
Revis News: The Jets could be getting good news before Friday’s game as rumors have it that star cornerback Darrelle Revis is set to sign a new contract. That would definitely be big news for the Jets as they have been worried about starting the season without their lockdown corner.
Total is 34.5 – The total on Friday’s game at the sportsbook is 34.5. This is a low total for the third preseason game for both teams. In fact, it is the lowest total on the board in Week 3 at Sbg global. The Jets do have a great defense but Washington should be able to score enough for this total to go over especially with the Jets wanting to score some TDs on Friday.
