2023 New York Giants Over/Under win total odds, predictions, picks
September's presence, mere days away, and the air turning crisp can only mean one thing … NFL football is back, baby!
Now that sportsbooks have dropped Over/Under win totals for every team in the league, it's time to dive into the fun and look at the numbers from a betting perspective.
Can the New York Giants eclipse their win total of 7.5?
Here is how our FOX Sports talent sees the Giants' season playing out.
Pick via FOX Sports NFC East Writer Ralph Vacchiano: Giants Over 7.5 wins
I'll take the Over, but not by much. The Giants are building their way back into relevance, but last year’s 9-7-1 record was still a bit of a mirage. They won a lot of games early and did it without much of an offense outside of Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley.
They have more weapons now and are a better team, but they also face a tougher schedule. It’s a good bet they will end up an improved team with a record that’s not improved by much, if at all.
In other words, watch them hover around .500 all season. But they’re not very deep, so their health will matter greatly.
Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre: Giants Under 7.5 wins
The Giants are only favored in three of their first 10 games, and the schedule is rigorous. Back-to-back road games against the Dolphins and Bills, and then three straight on the road in November, compounded by the late Week 13 bye, sets the Giants up for a difficult season.
If they’re trying to get into the playoffs, they’ll have to do so in New Orleans, in Philadelphia, then a layup against the (likely) tanking Rams, and then another game against the Eagles.
New York was 8-4-1 in games decided by a touchdown or less. Is that going to happen again? They were just 2-7 against playoff teams last year. Sell your stock.
