The New York Giants (0-1) face off against their long-time NFC East rivals, the Washington Commanders (0-1), this Sunday at Northwest Stadium.
Although most of the NFL universe will be looking elsewhere, there are always betting options in any game.
Here are three prop bets you might consider, per BetMGM.
[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin over 51.5 receiving yards (-115)
Terry McLaurin has had success against the Giants in his career with 61 catches (6.8 per game) for 783 yards (87.0 yards per game) and three receiving touchdowns over nine career games. That includes five or more catches in eight of nine games.
McLaurin had a quiet Week 1 against Tampa Bay (two receptions for 17 yards) but now faces a Giants’ secondary that is young and in flux. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury is surely going to look to target him more than four this week knowing the history here. All it takes is one big play to cover this bet.
First TD Scorer: Giants WR Malik Nabers (+1200)
Malik Nabers had a solid debut last week against a respectable Minnesota secondary, reeling in five of seven targets for 66 yards. Washington surrendered four passing touchdowns last week versus Tampa Bay.
Yes, Daniel Jones is no Baker Mayfield at this point, but the Giants will want to get the ball to Nabers as much as possible, even though he’s on the injury report with a knee issue. It’s worth a shot. Nabers is showing signs of becoming elite and has a positive matchup here.
Giants QB Daniel Jones OVER 30.5 passing attempts (-130)
Jones was terrible in the Giants’ 28-6 opening loss to Minnesota last week, completing 22 of 42 passes for 186 yards and two picks. The Giants have a new alignment along the offensive line and struggled to protect him at times. He was sacked five times and hit a total of 12.
That aside, head coach Brian Daboll — who is calling the plays this year — won’t shy away from throwing the ball. If the Giants are behind in this game, which is a distinct possibility, this number will easily be surpassed.
