With the annual preseason battle between the Jets and Giants on the horizon, one of the newest members of the rivalry gave an opinion on the "real" New York football team.

Andre Williams, the Giants' fourth-round pick in the 2014 draft, declared the Giants to be the team in New York.

"I think the Giants are the real New York team," Williams said.

On Friday night, the Jets and Giants will play at MetLife Stadium in what amounts to a dress rehearsal for the regular season. The game, of course, will take place in New Jersey.

That got us thinking: Which NFL franchise is the real New Jersey team?

Williams believes New York belongs to the Giants. What about the state each of the marquee franchises actually plays home games in?

Vote in our poll and sound off below about which NFL team represents the state of New Jersey.
