News that Daniel Jones and the New York Giants have parted ways appears to have resulted in a three-point line differential.
We've seen the number move from Giants +3.5 all the way to +6 as they get set to host Tampa Bay on Sunday.
The Giants cutting Jones was only confirmed on Friday.
In his place, Tommy DeVito will make his first start of the season Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. DeVito won three games as a starter in 2023.
The Giants decided to bench Jones during their bye week. Jones addressed the decision Thursday, expressing regret for not producing enough victories while also saying he was still processing his future.
"There have been some great times, but of course we all wish there had been more of those," Jones said in a statement. "I take full responsibility for my part in not bringing more wins. Nobody wanted to win more games worse than me and I gave everything I had on the field and in my preparation. Of course, this season has been disappointing for all and of course I wish I could have done more. I'm 100% accountable for my part. I did not play well enough consistently enough to help the team get results.
"The reality of the NFL is it's hard to win games. It requires consistent performance for everyone involved. We didn't do that well enough, so the idea to change something happens and I understand. I love the game, I love being part of the team. I'm excited for the next opportunity. I know there is a lot of good football in front of me and I'm excited about that."
The Bucs aren't making any drastic changes. They just need to start winning again because they do still have a shot at the playoffs despite losing four in a row and five of six.
