– Odell Beckham Jr. Goes Nuts
Coming into the 2015 season, the Jets were expected to have one of the best secondaries in the NFL after the signings of Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie, and Buster Skrine. Despite paying a ton of money for those three cornerbacks, the Jets have had their poor moments defending the pass.
Against the Houston Texans two weeks ago, Revis suffered a concussion in his worst game of the season against DeAndre Hopkins. Revis missed the game last week against the Miami Dolphins, and he will also be missing the game against the Giants on Sunday.
With Revis out, Giants’ wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. should be able to have a field day against the Jets. This season, Beckham has totaled 72 receptions, 1,005 receiving yards, and nine receiving touchdowns. It will likely be Cromartie getting a bulk of the snaps on Beckham, which has to be a matchup the Giants like.
Prediction: 13 receptions, 165 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns.
