The 2-11 New York Giants have opened as a 3.5-point favorite over the Miami Dolphins (3-10) for this Sunday’s game at MetLife Stadium, per our friends at BetMGM.
The over/under has been set at 48.5 points.
The Giants, who are 5-8 against the spread this season, are favored for the fourth time this season. They were favored by three points over the Washington Redskins in Week 4 and won, 24-3. In Week 7, the Giants were 3.5-point faves at home against Arizona and lost the game by six.
In Week 10, the Giants were favored by three over the Jets and lost the game by seven points.
Miami, after opening the season 0-7, have split their last six games. They are 7-6 against the spread.
The over-under of 48.5 seems to be a bit high for two teams at the bottom of the standings. Seven of the Giants’ 13 games this year has gone over while seven of the Dolphins’ contests have gone under.
The Giants are 0-3 straight up vs the AFC East this season. The Dolphins are 1-2 against the NFC East with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago.
