Over/Under: Projecting New York Giants QB Daniel Jones’ stats

Projecting Daniel Jones’ 2020 passing statistics and how they match up with the over/under betting odds.

Looking forward to the 2020 NFL season, it’s time to start breaking down how individual players will do statistically. Today we focus on New York Giants QB Daniel Jones‘ projected passing numbers and how they match up against future odds at BetMGM sportsbook.

Daniel Jones’ stats history

Jones took over as the starter for Big Blue last season, pushing two-time Super Bowl champ and MVP Eli Manning out to pasture. This is Jones’ team now, and he should take a big step forward. In 13 games during his rookie season, Jones completed 284 of 459 passes (61.9 percent) for 3,027 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with an 87.7 QB Rating. He was sacked 38 times and fumbled 18 times while also running for 279 yards and a pair of scores.

Daniel Jones’ projected stats and odds

Passing Yards: 3,799.5 / OVER: -110 / UNDER: -110

Passing Touchdowns: 26.5 / OVER: +105 / UNDER: -125

It’s hard to envision Jones taking any sort of a step back in Season No. 2. If you project out his rookie numbers over a 16-game season, he goes OVER, or comes close to going OVER, in passing yards and passing TDs. If the offensive line can keep him upright, and his mobility helps that quite a bit, too, he should flirt with 4,000 passing yards and 30 TD passes. Remember, he has the dynamic RB Saquon Barkley to dump the ball off to, and he’ll get his share of receiving yardage and scores. When Barkley played a full season in 2018, he had 721 receiving yards and four touchdowns through the air. The G-Men brought back WR Golden Tate to buoy the receiving corps, WR Sterling Shepard is showing signs of improving and WR Darius Slayton could be a useful third receiver with some upside. The future looks bright for Jones. Bet the OVER on both props.

2020 NFL MVP Odds: Is Daniel Jones worth a bet?

Analyzing the betting odds to be named the NFL’s 2020 MVP, with a look at whether Daniel Jones is worthy of a bet this season.

Do you think New York Giants QB Daniel Jones has what it takes to win the 2020 NFL MVP?

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson picked up the 2019 NFL MVP, a huge value if you bet on the signal caller during the preseason or early into the regular season. The Giants are retooling their defense, which should make the team much better in the win-loss department. But will it be enough for the sophomore signal caller to be the most valuable player in the league?

Let’s examine his chances, the BetMGM NFL futures odds around it happening and whether or not Jones is worth a bet.

Recent NFL MVP winners

Jones will certainly have a huge hill to climb, as Jackson was a tremendous talent who piled up some amazing numbers both through the air and on the ground. In 2018, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes won the award, and, oh by the way, he is the defending Super Bowl MVP, too. Before that it was QB Tom Brady, as Tom Terrific notched his third MVP in 2017. The good news for Jones and his chances is that a quarterback has claimed the MVP award in each of the past seven seasons, and 12 of the past 13.

Jones is listed as (+8000), which makes him a rather long shot against the rest of the field, including Jackson at (+500), Mahomes (+325) and Brady (+2000), now of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Daniel Jones stats

Jones took over the reins of the Big Blue offense from two-time Super Bowl winner Eli Manning, who has since retired. Jones appeared in 13 games, completing 61.9 percent of his passes for 3,027 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while posting a QB rating of 87.7. He also ran for 279 yards and two scores, losing three fumbles.

Is Daniel Jones worth a 2020 NFL MVP bet?

Jones is a long shot, and for good reason. The G-Men are making some nice improvements on the defensive side of the ball, but they still have some holes along the offensive line, and a very mediocre wideout corps. That works against Jones and his chances. If RB Saquon Barkley can stay healthy, Jones will have a good guy out of the backfield for dump-offs, helping to improve his completion percentage, as well as his overall yardage and touchdowns. Jones also needs to cut his turnovers down, while significantly improving in the win-loss department to have a shot. At this point, confidence is not high.
