Patriots at Giants odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Patriots 22, Giants 16

Money line

The PATRIOTS (-190) are right at my personal money line limit. Rookie QB Mac Jones is expected to do the heavy lifting with QB Cam Newton on the shelf this week due to a COVID testing protocol misunderstanding. Jones has a chance to potentially lock down the starting job.

Against the spread

The PATRIOTS -3.5 (+100) are a decent play laying the three and a hook, as Jones and the offense could shine. The Giants +3.5 (-120) have really struggled on the offensive side of the ball, and that’s another good reason to back the road team.

Over/Under

OVER 35.5 (-108) is the slight lean. I think Jones and the New England offense could be quite good in the early going, but I worry about the New York offense being able to keep up.

Still, I expect the total to inch Over the line, but it might not be until late in the fourth quarter before you can breathe a sigh of relief.
