New York Giants NFL Week 3 Betting Lines

It took the New York Giants six full quarters to score their first points of the 2023-24 NFL betting season. But after getting their first taste, Brian Daboll’s offense came back for more repeatedly enough to the point that the New York Giants staged one of the biggest comebacks in franchise history to pull out the amazing 31-28 come-from-behind win and non-cover against the closing NFL odds. You have to go back to the 1945 and 1947 seasons to find the last time the GMEN battled back from down 21 points to secure victory. Unfortunately for the many that laid their hard-earned money on the team at the online sportsbook, NY failed to deliver at the betting window. But if you live bet the Giants to win when down in a major hole, you without a doubt got a great sleep on Sunday night with their live odds getting as high as +900! Maybe you’ll want to roll those winnings over into Thursday night and see what Daniel Jones and Co. will have up their sleeve possibly without Saquon Barkley in the backfield after he suffered an ankle injury late against the Cardinals. Maybe not. Either way, the GMEN kick off Week 3 in San Francisco against the 49ers.

New York Giants Week 3 Matchup

On Thursday, September 21, 2023, the New York Giants will take on the San Francisco 49ers from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Kickoff time for Thursday Night Football is set for 8:15 p.m. ET with television coverage on PRIME VIDEO. The betting line for this NFC bout opened with the Giants catching 9.5-points and the total lined 43.5. Immediately after the Giants came out victorious against Arizona, the betting line moved up to +10. It remains to be seen whether it was public or sharp action, but it’s pretty clear New York will face a steep climb if in fact No. 26 is unable to suit up or be ineffective in the Sunday nighter running up against a Niners defense that’s conceded a grand total of 130 yards on the ground at 4.1 yards per carry. Early O/U action saw the over get hit pretty quick forcing linemakers to bump the number to beat up two full points to 45.5. New York has failed to secure a single sack through its first two played games. Should that prove to be the case once again on Thursday night, the Giants will likely have no shot of sticking close against the Niners with RUN CMC running wild and Brock Purdy having a year and a day in the pocket to target stud receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

New York Giants Week 2 Recap

The New York Giants battled back from a 20-0 halftime deficit to score the exhilarating 31-28 comeback win. The memorable second half performance was still overshadowed by the late-game injury suffered by Saquon Barkley which put a damper on the game’s dramatic ending. Though the GMEN outscored the Cardinals 31-8 in the second half, they still failed to cover the closing 4.5-point spread much to the joy and elation of the online sportsbook with Brian Daboll’s squad taking in 80 percent of the bets and 79 percent of the money. Sharp bettors got paid while the public took a beating. Daniel Jones earned his offseason payday by throwing for 321 yards and a 2:1 TD/INT ratio while adding another 59 on the ground with his legs to go along with another score. Saquon Barkley combined for 92 scrimmage yards and a pair of touchdowns to hook his fantasy and player prop backers up before acquiring what looks to be another problematic ankle injury. New York’s running back has a history with ankle injuries having missed three games in 2019 and four more in 2021. With the short turnaround, NFL bettors best make it a point to check injury reports leading up to kick-off to see if No. 26 is in fact in the huddle. If not, “Danny Dimes” will be forced to go at the 49ers vaunted defense in their home opener without the services of the team’s best offensive player. That’s not a good omen with the Giants defense ranked No. 26 against the run and likely to get a heavy dose of Christian McCaffrey throughout.

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.
