New York Giants NFL Betting Online

The New York Giants finished third in the NFC East for the second straight time last year but failed to make the playoffs this time around, managing only six wins and eight covers against the closing NFL odds. That’s what occurs in this day and age of the game when you sport a -141 point differential! Only the Panthers and Patriots accrued fewer points than the Giants' 266, with the Jets finishing just slightly better. A common factor for all these teams was poor quarterback play due to injury, inexperience, or possessing a lack of NFL-caliber field generals. Daniel Jones only started six games before incurring season-ending injuries, and his absence was evident as the team had one of the lowest passing yards outputs per game, surpassing only Carolina. To address this, GM Joe Schoen used the sixth pick in the NFL Draft to bring in a highly talented player and signed veteran playmakers to add much-needed depth. With Saquon Barkley now a former Giant and likely on the fan base’s bad side for joining a division rival, Devin Singletary was reunited with Brian Daboll to help fill the void. Singletary comes to New York after a strong season with the Houston Texans, carrying the ball a career-high 216 times.

However, these new additions will be ineffective if the offensive line doesn’t significantly improve. Despite having a specimen like Barkley in the huddle for 14 games, the Giants' front wall was one of the worst last season, paving the way for 110+ rushing yards per game, which was league average. In response, the front office prioritized upgrading the offensive line through both the draft and free agency, bringing in veteran and young talent. Although the secondary lost Xavier McKinney to free agency, improvements were made to the defensive front to ease the burden on his replacements. Despite these offseason changes, oddsmakers remain skeptical about the Giants making an impact in the NFC East based on their current odds to win anything at the online sportsbook.

Darius Slayton led the Giants with 770 receiving yards last season, with only two other receivers surpassing 500 yards. Darren Waller, one of those players, has since retired. Rookie Jalen Hyatt showed potential as a deep threat, averaging a team-high 16.2 yards per reception, but his production wasn’t enough to challenge opposing defenses. That might change with Malik Nabers, who, along with Marvin Harrison Jr., is one of the most polished pass catchers to enter the NFL since Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase. Nabers had a breakout junior season at LSU, with 89 receptions for nearly 1600 yards and 14 touchdowns, averaging 17.6 yards per catch. His addition to the offense could significantly benefit possession receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, making him another weapon in an offense that struggled without a competent quarterback a season ago.

However, for these improvements to be effective, the offensive line must perform better after surrendering a staggering 85 sacks last year. This failure to protect the quarterback severely hindered the passing game. To address this, the Giants brought in Jon Runyan from Green Bay and Jermain Eluemenor to man the guard positions. Second-year center John Michael Schmitz Jr. will continue his center duties, with Evan Neal and Andrew Thomas returning at the tackle positions. Their health, which was an issue last year, will be crucial for the team's success. If the revamped offensive line can hold up, it will give the front office a better idea of whether Daniel Jones, aka “Danny Dimes,” is the right quarterback for the team.

New York enters the year heavy +443 underdogs to punch a ticket to the playoffs as well as +1350 choices to win the NFC East for the first time since the franchise last won a Super Bowl back in 2011. As such, it comes with little surprise to see oddsmakers lining New York heavy +5707 dogs to win the NFC and Super Bowl LIX (+15054). It doesn’t help that the team resides in a division along with the Eagles and Cowboys who are one of only four teams that possess odds shorter than +750 to win the NFC.

Sharp Football Analysis deems the schedule strength as the twelfth toughest with matchups slated to go against the AFC North, NFC South, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, and Indianapolis Colts. Daboll’s first season saw the GMEN overachieve enough to surpass their season win total odds. The team failed to exceed expectations last year ultimately seeing the franchise come up short of its win total in six of the last seven seasons.

New York Giants Schedule & Results

Founded in 1925, the New York Giants are a foundational legacy franchise. The Giants were one of five teams that joined the NFL in 1925. The Mara Family has been involved in the team's ownership since the late 1920s.

The late Wellington Mara was the best-known member of the family ownership. He served as general manager and later president of the team as an owner from 1937 to 2005. From 1927 through 1963, the Giants were a consistent contender that won four NFL championships. The period of 1956 through 1963 was a Golden Era of Glory with six championship game appearances but only one title. The Giants lost three consecutive championship games from 1961 through 1963. Following that was a long period of darkness.

Head coach Bill Parcells was not well-known when he took over Big Blue in 1983. But by the time Parcells left in 1991, the Giants had won two Super Bowl championships and regained national respect as a power franchise. Parcells was later enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Two of the greatest wins in franchise history came under the leadership of head coach Tom Coughlin. In 2007 the Giants were a wild card playoff team but made the Super Bowl, where they ruined the New England Patriots’ bid for an undefeated season. In 2011 the Giants were again wild card Super Bowl champions over the Patriots.

Coughlin had Eli Manning as his quarterback in those days. Manning is a future Hall of Famer that rewrote the Giants' passing record book. There have been numerous marquee men that have played for Big Blue. Frank Gifford, Charlie Conerly, YA Tittle, Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, and Eli Manning are among the legends. Unfortunately, nobody else has truly stepped to the forefront since No. 10 retired following the 2018 season.
