New York saw their
losing streak reach seven games last Sunday after winding up on the wrong end
of a 19-14 decision on the road in Chicago. The Giants jumped out to a 7-3 lead
in the first half but self-destructed over the final two quarters, getting
outscored 16-7 en route to a five-point loss. QB Daniel Jones went 21-for-36 for 150 passing yards and two
touchdowns through the air while RB Saquon Barkley was held to just 59 rushing
yards on 17 carries on the ground.
Golden Tate and Kaden
Smith both found the end zone while Darius Slayton led the way for the
receiving corps with four catches for 67 yards. As a whole, New York gained
over 250 total yards of offense and scored two touchdowns despite coming
up just short on the scoreboard. On the other side of the ball, the Giants
defense had a fairly decent outing against a below average Chicago offense. New
York held the Bears to just two touchdowns while also recording two
interceptions as well.
With the Giants long
eliminated from the NFC Wild Card race, New York betting markets have really
died down. However, the Giants season win total over under prop is still on the
board, moving down to just 3.0 games after heading into Week 12 at 4.0 games.
New York Giants Odds Ahead of Their Week 13 Game Against the Packers
Looking ahead to
their Week 13 matchup, New York will head home to face the Green Bay Packers at
MetLife Stadium. The Packers should be highly motivated on Sunday afternoon
after getting embarrassed by the 49ers in San Francisco on Sunday Night
Football. As things sit right now, the Giants are 6.5 point underdogs in a game
that features a 45.5 point total.
Laying the 6.5 points
and rolling with the road favorite certainly looks pretty appealing in this
spot, especially considering how well RB Aaron Jones has fared when facing
below average run defenses in a positive game-script scenario.
After entering the
game against Chicago at +2200 in the race for “NFL Offensive Rookie of the
Year”, Daniel Jones moved back to +2300 after a fairly mediocre performance
against a tough Bears secondary. The award continues to be a two-man duel
between Josh Jacobs (-140) and Kyler Murray (+180) following a below average
outing from Jacobs on the ground in a surprising loss for Oakland against the
Jets.
After missing
multiple games due to a high ankle sprain and subsequently struggling upon his
return to the lineup, Saquon Barkley is completely off the board in the battle
for the “Most Regular Season Rushing Yards” crown. Christian McCaffrey remained
the odds on favorite to take down the award over the weekend after a decent
outing against New Orleans.
McCaffrey (+180) is
still the front-runner with just over a month remaining in the regular season,
although Nick Chubb has climbed all the way up from +550 to +210 since the
beginning of November. Dalvin Cook also appears to still have an outside shot
at coming out on top, as he currently sits at +420.
