5 New York Giants prop bets to make Week 3
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 9:45 p.m. ET.
QB Daniel Jones OVER 35.5 passing attempts (+100)
The Giants’ signal caller lost his top weapon last week as RB Saquon Barkley suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament to end his season. That will likely lop a lot more responsibility on the shoulders of the second-year quarterback, who will be asked to throw more. Jones hoisted it up 40 times last week at the Chicago Bears Chicago, and he had 41 attempts in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so throwing frequently will be nothing new for Danny Dimes.

Jones OVER 15.5 rushing yards (-115)
Again, Jones will be without his top dog in the backfield, leaving the triumvirate of Dion Lewis, Wayne Gallman and newly signed Devonta Freeman to pick up the slack. Even when Barkley was healthy and on the field, Jones rushed for 22 yards against the Steelers and 21 yards against the Bears. No one is going to mistake Jones for Randall Cunningham or Michael Vick, but he’ll eclipse 16 or more yards on the ground.
WR Golden Tate OVER 42.5 receiving yards (-110)
Tate made his season debut last weekend and he absorbed all five of his targets for 47 yards in Chicago. He led all wideouts in receiving yardage, as Jones depended upon the veteran frequently, while fellow receivers Darius Slayton (3-33-0, six targets) and Sterling Shepard (2-29-0, four targets) took a back seat.
Slayton will score a touchdown (+160)
Slayton hauled in two touchdowns in Week 1 against the Steelers, posting six grabs for 102 yards to go along with the scores. He crashed back to Earth in Week 2, managing just three grabs for 33 yards. However, through two games he is the only Giants player to score a receiving touchdown, and he is a good bet at this price to score at some point in Week 3.
Giants UNDER 19.5 points (-118)
The Giants have hit this prop in each of the first two games, going for 16 points in Week 1 and 13 points in Week 2. And they had their stud RB Barkley in for all or most of those game. This will be an offense searching for an identity, and it will be facing a nasty 49ers defense which allowed just 13 points on this very same field last week in a win over the New York Jets.
