The New York Giants won nine games in the first year under Brian Daboll, and with Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley locked up on long-term deals, they’re looking forward to building more in 2023.
Let’s get into how things are shaping up for the Giants ahead of the season.

The Giants, ranked No. 16 in our NFL power rankings, are a rebuilding team with a good head coach. They overachieved in Daboll’s first season, and I still have many questions about the way this roster is constructed, especially on defense.
With the Cowboys and Eagles looking strong heading into the year, it’s going to be difficult for the Giants to stockpile wins.
Giants Make Playoffs Odds
- Yes (+160)
- No (-190)
Giants Make Playoffs Bet: No (-190)

Will the Giants overcome the Eagles and Cowboys to win this division? No, they won’t. It’s true that the NFC is a weak conference this year, but I’m not sure it’s this weak.
Jones was great last season in what was a contract year for him, but after a hot start, he was not able to single-handedly will the Giants to big victories.
With most of the cap committed to Jones and Barkley, the team wasn’t able to add a ton of firepower on offense outside of Darren Waller.
The Giants will not have enough this year to make the playoffs, but things should continue to trend upwards.
Giants Futures Prop Bets
Saquon Barkley: Rushing Leader (+1400)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.4 Units
The Giants’ line was pretty solid last year when it came to run blocking, and the team as a whole was seventh in rushing DVOA.
While Barkley wasn’t exactly the guy he was in his rookie year, averaging 4.4 yards per carry will do just fine. On top of that, he averaged 5.2 yards per attempt in his final three games as he really began to look like himself.
This is a feasible bet. Barkley finished fourth in rushing yards last year and did that despite missing two games and taking a little while to get back into form. He can do it.
Giants: Under 2.5 Division Wins (+145)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
It comes down to whether or not you think the Giants are going to be a real threat to the Cowboys and Eagles. I don’t necessarily think they will be — I’d project them to lose three out of those four games at the least.
With the Commanders’ defense looking strong and Sam Howell potentially taking this offense up a notch, I certainly don’t think it’s a given that the Giants will be able to sweep Washington, which leaves some serious value on this line.
Giants vs Commanders Correct Score: 2-0 Giants
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Even though I said my piece above, the fact of the matter is the Commanders’ offense is no match for the Giants’ defense, even if it has its flaws. Washington scored a combined 32 points in two games against the Giants last year, going 0-1-1.
I do think there’s a decent enough chance the Giants can sweep the Commanders — more decent than this number would indicate. Keep in mind that New York can win both of these games and still cash the bet above by getting rolled against two extremely good teams.

How to Bet on Giants Games in 2023
How to Bet Giants Moneylines
NFL moneyline wagers are the simplest forms of NFL bets. All you have to do is pick a team to win a given game, and if they do, you win your bet.
Since winning is the only requirement to cash your bet, the odds for NFL moneylines can vary greatly depending on each team’s implied probability of winning (or losing) that game.
Favorites are designated by a minus symbol (-200), whereas underdogs are represented by a plus symbol (+200).
If the Giants are a (-200) favorite against the rival Commanders, you would have to bet $20 to turn a $10 profit. If New York was a (+200) underdog, you would profit $20 off a $10 bet.

How to Bet Giants Spreads
Betting the spread is the most efficient way to wager on NFL games, as it presents two evenly priced options. The spread, which is assigned a value by the books, is the number of points that the favorite is expected to win by against the underdog.
If the Giants are 6-point favorites over the Commanders, the spread for that game will be set up like this: Giants -6 (-110) vs Commanders +6 (-110).
In this scenario, the Giants would have to win by more than six points for you to win your bet. If they were to win by a pair of field goals, your bet would push and you would recoup your initial wager.

How to Bet Giants Over/Unders
If you don’t want to pick a side, you can still bet on Giants games by wagering on the total number of points scored.
Sportsbooks set the amount of combined points they expect both teams in the game to score, and then you can bet on either the Over or the Under.
If you expect Hurts, Brown, and the Giants to light up the scoreboard, then you’ll probably want to take the Over. If you think a specific game could be more defensive, then you would bet the Under.
