New York Jets WR Plaxico Burress is becoming a major force offensively<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York travels to the nation\u2019s capital to face the Washington Redskins and will play three consecutive games against NFC East opponents.\u00a0 The Jets snapped a two-game losing streak in tallying a 28-24 win over the Buffalo Bills last week as 9.5-point home favorites.\u00a0 \u201cWe have to keep improving, there\u2019s no question,\u201d commented Jets head coach Rex Ryan.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re not going to win and we\u2019re not going to reach our goal if we don\u2019t get better.\u201d\u00a0 The franchise will be seeking just its second win in 10 meetings against the Redskins, dropping a 23-20 contest in the last game in the series as 3.5-point home underdogs.\u00a0 New York is 2-5 ATS as a favorite this year and the \u2018over\u2019 is 4-3 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Jets are carried by a defense that ranks eighth in the league in giving up just 318.7 yards per game, while the offense has shown signs of coming around, but averages just 314.8 yards per game.\u00a0 New York quarterback Mark Sanchez hasn\u2019t been very consistent this year, completing 48.6 percent of his passes last week for 180 yards.\u00a0 Wide receiver Plaxico Burress has become a major force on the outside, coming away with 11 receptions and two touchdowns over the last three games.<\/p>\n

Washington snapped a six-game losing streak by walking away with a 23-17 win over the Seattle Seahawks as three-point road underdogs last week.\u00a0 Quarterback Rex Grossman has taken over the controls the last three weeks, completing 26-of-35 passes for 314 yards and two touchdowns in the victory.\u00a0 He also threw two interceptions, adding to the team\u2019s total of 18 that\u2019s tied for the most in the league.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s our starter, for sure,\u201d Redskins coach Mike Shanahan stated.\u00a0 Washington is 17-14 ATS as an underdog the last two-plus years.<\/p>\n

The Redskins are relying on rookie running back Roy Helu in the backfield, rushing for a career-high 108 yards and a touchdown, while also grabbing seven passes out of the backfield for 54 yards.\u00a0 Grossman will need to find wide receiver Jabar Gaffney or tight end Fred Davis down field, as top target Santana Moss will be stuck on Revis Island.\u00a0 Moss returned for the first time since suffering a broken left hand last week, catching four passes for 29 yards.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Jets due to their 10-4 ATS mark versus teams with a losing record, while the Redskins are 8-17-2 ATS in their last 27 home games.<\/p>\n
