Will the New York Giants make the 2020 NFL playoffs?
Yes: +300 | No: -385
The Giants managed just four victories last season, going 2-6 at home and 2-6 on the road. They also ended up scratching out two victories in their six games in the NFC East, while going 3-9 against NFC teams. Even if they were somehow able to miraculously double their win total and get to .500, that still is unlikely to be enough to qualify for the postseason.
The best bet is NO (-385), although a $10 winning bet returns a profit of only $2.60.

How many games will the New York Giants win in 2020? Bands
| BAND | ODDS |
| 0-4 Wins | +380 |
| 5-8 Wins | -323 |
| 9-12 Wins | +600 |
| 13-16 Wins | +30000 |
The Giants have a very, very difficult home schedule, which should keep them from making any serious improvement on last season’s record. They open with the Pittsburgh Steelers at home, visit the Chicago Bears and then they host the San Francisco 49ers in their first three games. Along with welcoming QB Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a Monday night home game Nov. 2, their other homes games are against the Arizona Cardinals, the Cleveland Browns and their three division rivals. It will be a tall order if they can go 3-5 at home. Road trips to meet the Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks in addition to their three divisional games will do them no favors, either.
Take 0-4 WINS (+380) band, as the G-Men aren’t likely to make much of an improvement in the standings, and their out-of-division schedule is brutal.
A $10 bet on 0-4 WINS returns a healthy profit of $38 if it hits.
How many games will the New York Giants win in 2020? Exact number
You have to figure the Giants will be able to get at least one or two divisional victories, while grabbing at least one win in their four tries against AFC North teams, perhaps two. The rest of their schedule features just too many tough tests, and they do not have enough offensive firepower to make much of an improvement on their 2019 total, if any.
The best bet is to take the Giants to win 4 GAMES (+575) for a strong return on investment. As such, betting the UNDER 6.5 WINS (-130) prop should be a slam-dunk play.
