New York Jets at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Jets at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Jets (3-3) and New York Giants (2-5) meet for Sunday for a Week 8 matchup at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Jets vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The weather forecast is rather gloomy for this Battle of Gotham. Showers are expected to roll in at 8 a.m. ET, with the rain picking up right before kickoff. The forecast calls for a 70% chance of rain, tapering off slightly by the end of the game, with temperatures in the 50’s with winds of 5-8 mph.

The Jets are on a roll, winning 2 straight games, including a stunning 20-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last time out prior to the bye. Gang Green has covered 3 in a row, too, all as an underdog.

The Giants scored a 14-7 win last time out against the Washington Commanders, and Big Blue has covered the past 2, also as an underdog in each. The Under is on a 5-0 roll for the G-Men, while going 6-1 in 7 games overall. QB Tyrod Taylor is expected to make his 3rd consecutive start in place of the injured QB Daniel Jones.

Jets at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 19, Giants 15

Moneyline

The JETS (-164) are worth playing on the moneyline straight up, if you want to declare a winner, and you do not want to have to mess around with the points. It’s going to be a sloppy mess with the rain and wind, but the arrow is pointed in favor of the green team in this New York battle, as it is just healthier at the moment.

Against the spread

The JETS -3 (-110) are worth playing lightly. They’re the healthier team, coming off a bye week to rest the bumps and bruises from the 1st half of the season.

The Giants +3 (-110) have been pretty competitive with Taylor under center, covering the past 2 games, while knocking off the Commanders. They’ve kept the offense methodical, taking the air out of the ball, while leaning upon the defense. However, the G-Men have too many injuries along the offensive line, and if Thibodeaux cannot go, that’s a big blow to the D.

Over/Under

UNDER 35.5 (-110) is the lean, but there isn’t a lot of conviction here.

This is a very, very low number, but with the weather factoring in, we should see both offenses in run mode most of the day. The ground and pound keeps the clock moving, which is pleasing to Under bettors.

Washington Commanders at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Commanders at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Commanders (3-3) face the New York Giants (1-5) Sunday in Week 7 NFL action. Kickoff at MetLife Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Commanders vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Commanders broke a 3-game losing streak in Week 6 with a road win over the Atlanta Falcons, 24-16. QB Sam Howell threw 3 touchdown passes to 3 different players in the victory. Washington’s defense intercepted Falcons QB Desmond Ridder 3 times to stifle any chance of a comeback. It looks to improve its division record to .500 with a win Sunday.

The Giants lost their 4th straight game, in Buffalo last Sunday. New York failed to score a touchdown and settled for 3 field goals from K Graham Gano. They have been held to 16 points or fewer in 5 of their 6 games and have the lowest per-game point total in the NFL.

The last time these teams met was in Dec. 2022 in Washington, and the Giants won 20-12 as 4-point underdogs. The Commanders are 2-1-1 in their last 4 head-to-head meetings but 1-3 against the spread (ATS).

Commanders at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Commanders 23, Giants 13

Moneyline

PASS.

This game is basically a coin flip, even if Jones is able to play. I watch every single Commanders game being a DC-area native, and this is a game they could easily lose despite being the better and healthier overall team. I’m not going to put down $150 to win $100 on what is essentially a coin flip.

Against the spread

PASS.

For all the same reasons I listed above, I’m going to avoid this bet as well. The Giants are littered with injuries across their offensive line and their starting quarterback will likely not play. The Commanders are not a good enough team to go in and win this game convincingly like they should. Look to the total for my favorite bet.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 37.5 (-110).

This is a really low total. Typically, I’d always look to the Over in a game that has a total under 40 but not this one. The Giants held the Bills to just 14 points, and the Commanders defense is better than its statistics would tell you.

This game will be a slog between 2 teams trying to find their way this season.

New York Giants at Buffalo Bills odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Giants at Buffalo Bills odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Giants (1-4) and Buffalo Bills (3-2) meet Sunday night at Highmark Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Bills odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Giants failed to cover for the 5th straight game last week as they fell 31-16 to the Miami Dolphins. The Under squeaked by, partly due to the Giants’ continued futility on offense. The Giants are last in the NFL with 255.2 yards/game and 2nd-to-last with 12.4 points per game. QB Daniel Jones has already been ruled out, and Tyrod Taylor will be under center. Things could become brighter if RB Saquon Barkley is able to return from his high-ankle sprain.

The Bills, who were -5.5 favorites, were upended by the Jacksonville Jaguars 25-20 last week. The Under cashed as there were just 18 points scored in the first half in London. The Bills are 3-2 ATS on the season but 2-0 at home. WR Stefon Diggs is tied for the NFL lead with 5 touchdowns.

Giants at Bills picks and predictions

Prediction

Bills 27, Giants 10

Moneyline

The Bills come into this one 3rd in the league at 31.8 points per game, and the Giants are decimated by injuries. So this really shouldn’t be a contest. You’d have to have a few too many adult beverages to consider betting -1100 on the Bills, however.

Barkley is questionable, and if he suits up, it’s not unthinkable for the Giants to take a pseudo-home game. PASS on the ML, but I like STEFON DIGGS LONGEST RECEPTION OVER 26.5 (-110). He has catches of 30+ yards in 3 straight games.

Against the spread

The Giants have failed to cover any game this season and have lost the last 3 games by an average of 18 points. Covering this 14.5-point spread is tempting against an inconsistent Bills team, but I just can’t do it until Barkley is ruled out.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Bills are 2-3 O/U this season, and 44 is a staggering number considering the Giants have averaged just 10.33 points per game the last 3 weeks. Buffalo would have to top 30 to hit an Over, and they have done that in their 3 wins and not in their 2 losses. I’ll stay conservative and LEAN UNDER 44 (-110).

New York Giants at Miami Dolphins odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Giants at Miami Dolphins odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Giants (1-3) visit the Miami Dolphins (3-1) in Week 5 on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Dolphins odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Giants are coming off a 24-3 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4, failing to cover as 2.5-point home underdogs while the Under (45.5) hit. If you remove New York’s 2nd half against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, it has been outscored 122-15.

The Dolphins failed to cover as 3-point road underdogs in their 48-20 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. The Over (52) cashed and Miami’s streak of covering the spread ended at 6 games.

Giants at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 38, Giants 13

Moneyline

Even though the Dolphins (-650) are expected to win with ease on Sunday against the Giants, I’ll AVOID taking their moneyline in this contest. It is never wise to wager on any bet at -650 odds straight up.

Against the spread

It is a large spread for Miami at home, but I’ll still back the DOLPHINS -12.5 (-105) to cover. The Dolphins are coming off a lopsided loss to a division rival and the Giants are an absolute mess right now.

QB Daniel Jones was sacked 10 times in Week 4 and New York is expected to be without a couple of starters along the offensive line again in Week 5. Also, the Giants are 0-4 ATS and the Dolphins are 3-1 ATS this season.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-110) is the play in this game as the Dolphins are plenty capable of covering the total themselves. Miami’s lone home game thus far came in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos when the team produced a historic 70 points.

While I don’t expect 70 points again from the Dolphins, they are scoring a league-best 37.5 points per game and the Giants are giving up 30.5 points per game (4th-most in the NFL). After getting blown out by the Bills, QB Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins will be celebrating plenty of touchdowns against the Giants on Sunday.

Seattle Seahawks at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Seattle Seahawks at New York Giants Week 4 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Seahawks (2-1) and the New York Giants (1-2) meet for Monday Night Football in Week 4 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Seahawks vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Seahawks won a high-scoring 37-27 matchup against the visiting Carolina Panthers in Week 3, covering as a 4.5-point favorite as the Over (43.5) connected. Seattle has scored exactly 37 in each of the past 2 wins — the 1st against the Lions — both covers and Over results, after a stunning 30-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1.

The Giants opened with a giant goose egg in Week 1, falling 40-0 at home on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. New York hopes its 2nd appearance on primetime goes a little better. The Giants topped the Arizona Cardinals 31-28 in Week 2, coming back from a 20-0 deficit, but they were hammered 30-12 at San Francisco in Week 3. The G-Men are 0-3 ATS with the Under cashing in 2 of the 3 outings.

Seahawks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 29, Giants 20

Moneyline

SEATTLE (-124) is a decent play on the road as a small favorite.

Seattle won its only road game of the season in Week 2, outlasting Detroit 37-31 in overtime in one of the more entertaining games of the early going. The Seahawks have won 2 straight since losing their opener, while the Giants have looked terrible in 2½ games. New York could easily be 0-3, but as mentioned above, it rallied from 20 down to shock Arizona 31-28 — still failing to cover as a 4.5-point road favorite.

Against the spread

SEATTLE -1.5 (-110) is a cheaper play laying the 1½ points. There is some concern with the Seahawks’ injury report, but excluding the TE situation, the offense is mostly intact.

The have played terrible football for all but 2 quarters this season. Coach Brian Daboll’s defense has coughed up 28 or more points in all 3 games, and the Giants are 0-3 ATS to date. Not good.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-105) is the lean.

Again, the G-Men have surrendered at least 28 points in each of their 3 games, coughing up 32.7 points per game (PPG) to rank 30th in the NFL entering the week. The powerful Seahawks offense will likely do most of the heavy lifting to get this one across the finish line.

The concern is that the Giants offense might not offer much help. It ranks 28th in total yards per game (253.3) and passing yards (165.3) per game, while managing just 14.3 PPG to rank 31st.

New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Giants (1-1) battle the San Francisco 49ers (2-0) on Thursday Night Football. Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. 49ers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

After a 40-0 loss in the opener, the Giants extended their scoreless streak to 6 quarters and trailed the Arizona Cardinals 20-0 at the half on Sunday. New York scored 31 points in the 2nd half to win 31-28, but failed to cover as 5-point favorites. QB Daniel Jones finished 26 of 37 for 321 yards with 2 TDs and an interception. S Jason Pinnock showed out on defense with 13 total tackles, including 10 solos and 3 tackles for loss.

San Francisco took down the Los Angeles Rams last week with a 30-23 road victory to push as 7-point favorites. RB Christian McCaffrey led the way on offense with 20 carriers for 116 yards and a TD while tacking on 3 receptions for 19 yards.

49ers

Giants at 49ers picks and predictions

Prediction

49ers 31, Giants 17

Moneyline

PASS.

At -550 odds, there is no profit to be made betting on the 49ers to win at home. They have looked dominant on both sides of the ball so far this year outscoring opponents 60-30. Expect more of the same Thursday night.

Against the spread

LEAN 49ERS -10 (-110).

As seen above, the Giants enter Thursday beaten up. Missing multiple starters on their defense, while facing a potential MVP in McCaffrey, it will be difficult for New York to get crucial stops. Even with Aiyuk possibly sidelined, QB Brock Purdy has multiple weapons that he will be able to locate and extend San Fran’s lead allowing them to cover.

New York will have to come out with a bang. If they find themselves in a hole similar to that of last week, there will be no opportunity for them to climb out.

Over/Under

BET OVER 44.5 (-110).

Primarily, many of the points will come from San Francisco and its offense. They find many different ways to spread the ball and keep the defense on their toes. Through 2 weeks of play, the Niners have 4 TDs on the ground and 2 TDs through the air. What may allow the Giants to score is gaining critical field position with the Niners tendency to turn the ball over. In their 2 games, they have fumbled the ball 6 times.

The Giants demonstrated in the 2nd half last week their potential to put points on the board. For that reason, the Over is the best choice in this game.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Giants (0-1) are on the road in Week 2 to take on the Arizona Cardinals (0-1) in their 2023 home opener Sunday. Kickoff from State Farm Stadium is 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX).

The Giants opened the season by getting shut out 40-0 at home by the Dallas Cowboys. They turned the ball over 3 times (2 interceptions, 1 lost fumble) and QB Daniel Jones was sacked 7 times and fumbled twice (although both were recovered).

The Cardinals lost 20-16 on the road to the Washington Commanders but covered as 7-point underdogs. Arizona had 6 sacks and 3 takeaways but QB Josh Dobbs lost 2 fumbles that resulted in 10 Washington points.

Giants at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 22, Giants 20

Moneyline

The Cardinals got almost nothing offensively in Week 1, netting only 210 total yards (and 60 of those came on 2 plays in their 1st possession), and the defense scored the only touchdown. However, the Giants’ defense isn’t as good as the Commanders’.

The problems of protection that New York had last week should again be a problem against Arizona. The Cards had 6 sacks last week and have sacked Jones 14 times in his 2 career starts vs. them.

BET CARDINALS (+170).

Against the spread

When the line opened at Giants -5.5, this was an easy pick.

The Cardinals proved to be tougher than expectations had them while the Giants — a playoff team last year — looked exceptionally bad in Week 1.

This is a home opener for Arizona with a new coaching staff, so there will be some extra energy in the stadium. There will be plenty of Giants fans as well, but the Cardinals should be able to do a little more offensively than they did in Week 1.

Expect a close game at a minimum and take the Cardinals to cover if you can’t quite take them to win outright.

BET CARDINALS +4 (-110).

Over/Under

Neither team’s game hit the Over in Week 1 but this game’s 39.5-point projected total is low.

The Cardinals and Commanders had 36 total points and Arizona didn’t score an offensive touchdown.

New York’s offense is probably better than Washington’s. New York’s defense isn’t as good as Washington’s, so Arizona should be able to do a little better.

I lean OVER 39.5 (-110).

Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants kick off their season on Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cowboys vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

It was somewhat of a quiet offseason for the Cowboys. They acquired CB Stephon Gilmore and WR Brandin Cooks and retained RB Tony Pollard via the franchise tag. They made waves a couple of weeks ago when they acquired QB Trey Lance from the San Francisco 49ers to back up QB Dak Prescott, who now has his feet to the fire.

The Giants enter the season with a lot of questions at receiver. Darius Slayton, Parris Campbell and Isaiah Hodgins lead the receiving corps, which isn’t much to write home about. TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is also questionable for this one, and that could put a lot of pressure on QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley.

Cowboys at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Giants 17

Moneyline

Dallas has beaten the G-Men 4 straight times and is 9-1 over the last 10. The 2 games last season were competitive, with the Cowboys coming away with 28-20 and 23-16 wins. The key in this game will be how well the offensive line holds up with 2 starters already injured in front of a mistake-prone Prescott. The Cowboys are stacked with WR CeeDee Lamb expected to take another step forward toward the NFL’s elite wideouts.

Dallas is rightfully favored, and we’re going to avoid paying -175 on its moneyline. PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

Laying 3.5 points with the Cowboys is a pretty decent proposition. They’re 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against the Giants, and this number would have covered in 4 straight meetings. The Giants surprised a lot of people last season at 9-7-1, but they’re one of the teams you can see taking a step back this year.

Take the COWBOYS -3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Over is 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings between the teams. This number, though, would not have cashed in 2 of the last 3 meetings. I’m more akin to the Under in Week 1, especially with Dallas’ O-line banged up and the Giants looking rather one-dimensional with Barkley.

LEAN UNDER 45.5 (-110).

New York Jets at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Jets at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Jets (1-2) face the New York Giants (1-1) on Saturday at MetLife Stadium as both teams wrap up their preseason schedule. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jets vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Jets were tripped up 13-6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last time out in what was technically their only home game on the preseason schedule. Since a 21-16 loss against the Cleveland Browns in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 3, the Jets D has allowed just 13 total points in the past 2 outings, cashing the Under in both games.

The Giants nipped the Carolina Panthers 21-19 last time out, but they failed to cash as 2.5-point favorites at most shops. Big Blue has averaged 18.5 points per game (PPG) while conceding 20.5 PPG through its 2 games, cashing the Over in both outings.

The Jets won a 31-27 thriller in the preseason finale between these clubs last season. Gang Green has won the past 2 preseason meetings, with the G-Men last win in the annual exhibition of Gotham roommates coming on Aug. 8, 2019.

Jets at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 26, Giants 18

Moneyline

The Jets (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive for a standalone wager, especially in a preseason game.

The good news is that QB Aaron Rodgers will take his first preseason snaps in this Mayor’s Trophy Game, which is the 54th preseason meeting in the past 55 years between these 2 clubs.

PASS.

Against the spread

The JETS -6 (-110) are worth playing in this “road” matchup, which is basically the other locker room at MetLife Stadium. Rodgers will bring a lot of excitement to this game and it should be a rather electric crowd for a preseason tilt.

The Giants could potentially use QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley early in this game, so Jets side bettors will have to be patient. But in the end Jets QB Zach Wilson should be more than capable against the G-Men backups, we should see Gang Green pull away, winning and covering for the 3rd straight preseason meeting.

Over/Under

OVER 39 (-110) is a strong play, especially based on the Giants’ trends.

The Over has cashed in each of the 2 preseason games for the G-Men so far. It will be interesting to see if the Jets D can hold them down. The Jets have allowed just 13 total points in the past 2 games, including a shutout of the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte on Aug. 12.

Still, we generally see fireworks in this game, including a crazy 58 combined points last season.

Carolina Panthers at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Carolina Panthers at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Carolina Panthers (0-1) face the New York Giants (0-1) Friday in preseason Week 2 action. Kickoff from MetLife Stadium is set for 7 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers were demolished 27-0 by the New York Jets to open the preseason. No. 1 overall pick QB Bryce Young played 1 drive, completing 4 of 6 passes for 21 yards. Former Ole Miss QB Matt Corral played the rest of the game, throwing for 126 yards and an interception. Not many defensive starters played as the Panthers gave up 24 points in the final 3 quarters.

The Giants went to Ford Field in preseason Week 1 and lost to the Detroit Lions 21-16. Neither QB Daniel Jones nor star RB Saquon Barkley played in the opener with QB Tommy Devito getting most of the reps. He threw for 155 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. Expect similar splits in Week 2. First-round pick CB Deonte Banks did play and recorded 1 tackle. The Giants did take a 13-3 lead into the half after which they were outscored 18-3.

Panthers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 24, Panthers 14

Moneyline

PASS.

The Panthers were awful in their 1st preseason game, and it is unlikely Young gets that much more action in this game. Corral can’t be trusted to lead an NFL offense which was yet again proven in Week 1. New York should win this game, but at (-160), it is too expensive to play outright.

Against the spread

BET GIANTS -3 (-110).

The Giants’ depth has more potential, and that’s what gamblers should look at. QB Tyrod Taylor is a proven veteran as is the case with RB Matt Breida. DeVito also looked better in Week 1 than Corral.

The skill position depth on both sides of the ball along with a far superior performance in Week 1 for New York is what makes it a good play here. The Panthers don’t have a great offense and showcased those issues in Week 1, not scoring a single point.

At this spread and value, take GIANTS -3 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 39.5 (-110).

The Panthers did not score against the Jets. Young didn’t make a huge impact on his only drive, and Carolina’s main backup, Corral, struggled to move the ball. There’s no reason to assume that will change.

However, the Panthers gave up 2 TDs to QB Tim Boyle, who went 9-of-10 for 84 yards. That type of performance is unlikely from a Giants backup.

Similarly, the Giants scored 16, and their stars likely won’t get much action either. Both teams’ 1st game would have gone Under this total. Back UNDER 39.5 (-110).
