The New York Giants endured their 5th consecutive season of 6 or fewer wins in 2021. Coach Joe Judge was fired after the season and replaced by Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. New York enters 2022 hoping Daboll can unlock the full potential of QB Daniel Jones and get the team into playoff contention.

Below, we look at the New York Giants’ 2022 NFL futures odds – including win total, division, conference and Super Bowl odds at Tipico Sportsbook – with best bet suggestions among our NFL picks and predictions.

In addition to hiring Daboll, the Giants tabbed Joe Schoen as the new general manager. Schoen also comes from Buffalo, where he was the assistant GM. He replaces Dave Gettleman, who retired after the season.

In free agency, the Giants added veteran offensive linemen Jon Feliciano, Max Garcia and Mark Glowinski. They signed QB Tyrod Taylor to be Jones’ backup and added RB Matt Breida and WR Richie James.

They did lose TE Evan Engram, OL Will Hernandez and S Jabril Peppers to free agency.

New York had 2 of the top 7 picks in the NFL Draft, selecting DE Kayvon Thibodeaux (Oregon) with the 5th overall pick and OL Evan Neal (Alabama) at No. 7. The Giants’ next pick was WR Wan’Dale Robinson (Kentucky) in the 2nd round.

New York Giants’ 2022 win total: Best bet

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday, May 26 at 8:56 p.m. ET.

Over/Under: 7.5 (O: +115 | U: -145)

The Giants have had more than 7 wins only once in the last 11 seasons when they were 11-5 in 2016.

They do play in a rather wide-open NFC East where the Cowboys are the favorite, but the Eagles and Commanders might be decent or might be bad.

They also have 5 very winnable games this season with matchups against the Texans, Jaguars, Seahawks, Lions and Panthers.

It will come down to Jones at quarterback. He has shown flashes he can be very good. He also has turned the ball over at an alarming rate in his career, although he did improve last season, fumbling 7 times and throwing only 7 interceptions in 11 games.

Even still, if the Giants split their division games and go 3-2 in those five “winnable” games, they would have to find 2 wins against presumed playoff contenders like the Titans, Vikings, Colts, Packers and Ravens.

That’s a tough task. I see the Giants as a 6-to-7 win team in 2022.

TAKE UNDER 7.5 (-145).

New York Giants’ 2022 Super Bowl odds

Odds: +10000 (bet $100 to win $10,000)

The Giants are tied with six other teams for the second-longest Super Bowl odds in the league. Only the Texans (+20000) have longer odds. The Bills (+600) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+750) are the favorites.

At +10000, New York has 0.99% implied odds of winning it all, or 100/1 fractional odds.

The Giants will probably be better than they were in 2021. But even if they don’t finish last in the NFC East, they probably aren’t yet a playoff team, which makes backing them, even with just a small wager unwise. PASS. 

New York Giants’ 2022 playoff odds

Will Giants make the playoffs: Yes +200 | No -250

Jones is 12-25 as a starter in his three seasons. The Giants have not been a playoff team since 2016.

The NFC should feature a competitive wild-card race.

Are the Giants quite on the same level as teams like the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Vikings, Eagles or New Orleans Saints, who all enter the new season looking like better teams?

The Giants aren’t quite there, but the playoff drought could end because of Jones and if everything goes there way.

But I don’t see it. I’m not confident enough to back New York in making the playoffs, while betting them to not make the postseason doesn’t pay enough and isn’t any fun. PASS.

Odds to win NFC East Division

• Dallas Cowboys +110 (bet $100 to win $110)
• Philadelphia Eagles +190 (bet $100 to win $190)
• Washington Commanders +500 (bet $100 to win $500)
• New York Giants +750 (bet $100 to win $750)

New York’s implied probability of winning the NFC East is 11.76% or 15/2 fractional odds.

The Cowboys are primed to repeat as division champs, although the Eagles could push. The Giants are not yet on that level.

PASS on making any Giants wager here.

Odds to win NFC

Odds: +4000 (bet $100 to win $4,000)

The Giants have the same odds of winning the conference as the Panthers. Only 4 teams – Bears, Atlanta Falcons, Lions and Seahawks – have longer odds.

New York has only 2.44% implied odds of winning the conference.

As I don’t like them to make the playoffs at all, backing them to make it to the Super Bowl wouldn’t be a wise wager. PASS.
