At least one oddsmaker isn’t bullish on the Giants’ chances
The New York Giants are favored to win just one game in 2025, according to oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here is a look at the early odds in each of the Giants’ 2025 games. It might be interesting to note how these change when we actually get to each individual game.
Line: Giants +7.5
I get it. The Commanders won 12 games and went to the playoffs last year, while the Giants won just three and went back to the drawing board. But, the Giants’ two losses to Washington last season came by a total of eight points. I would be tempted to take the Giants with the points.
Line: Giants +4.5
This is probably what should be expected. Again, though, the Giants lost two games to Dallas by a total of 11 points last season. If you think the Giants are improved beating the Cowboys once in 2025 should not seem impossible. I picked the Giants to win this game.
Line: Giants +6.5
I kind of hate the Giants’ home opener being on a Monday night against this team. If the Giants are already 0-2, this line might be bigger when game week rolls around.
Line: Giants +3.5
In my game-by-game prediction, I took the Giants to pull off the upset here. This is the game in my prediction that I probably question the most.
Line: Giants -1.5
This is the ONLY game DraftKings currently has the Giants favored in. Who knows what the line will look like when we actually get to October. Maybe Jaxson Dart is starting for the Giants that week. We should probably hope that isn’t the case, though. That would mean the Giants are 0-4, and it would mean the rookie quarterback is starting earlier than ideal.
Because I’m an optimist, and because I don’t bet on games, it’s easy for me to say I would take the Giants here if I did bet.
Line: Giants +7
This is the Eagles we’re talking about here. I am not telling anyone to put money on the Giants.
Line: Giants +7.5
I can’t pick the Giants win this potential Russell Wilson Revenge Game. Today, though, the points are tempting.
Line: Giants +10.5
A double-digit spread, and I can’t say I blame Vegas. Again, it is the Eagles and I would not put a dime of my hard-earned cash on the Giants in Philly.
Line: Giants +3.5
I am not as high as some on the 49ers and (perhaps foolishly) picked the...
