Welcome to the New York Giants betting angle, Week 15 version! Every week, I’m providing you with my three favourite wagers for that week’s New York Giants sport. My one rule: I gained’t ever provide you with wagers which are lower than -120. No gimmes right here!
The Giants’ season is drawing to a detailed, mercifully. The gamers and coaches can see the end line, and with simply 4 video games left on the slate it appears like this staff is looking forward to the 2025 NFL Draft, and subsequent season. They’ve now misplaced eight straight, and all seven of their residence video games. The Saints’ sport final Sunday supplied the Giants their finest remaining shot at a win this season, and so they had been proper there on the finish, needing a chip-shot area aim to ship the sport to OT. The kick was blocked, which was emblematic of a failed and misplaced season.
The reeling Giants now welcome one of many NFL’s high groups to MetLife Stadium. The Ravens are available in effectively rested off of their Bye, whereas the Giants proceed to lose gamers to harm. Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito are each banged up, however Cutlets is the much less harm of the 2, so he’s again below middle.
The road for this sport stands at BAL -16.5, with a sport whole of 42.5. That line is the most important of the NFL season up to now and no, it’s not a misprint. Additionally no, this isn’t Michigan taking part in some D2 patsy in late August. This line is actual, and it’s spectacular. That is an precise NFL sport, with skilled soccer gamers on each rosters. Nevertheless it’s an enormous mismatch in each sense of the phrase and on either side of the ball (no pun supposed).
The Giants maintain dropping, however I maintain profitable. I’m 7-2 throughout the final three weeks with the one misses approaching Tyrone Tracy “over” props in Weeks 13 and 14 that narrowly missed. I’ll attempt to maintain it going this week. This sport is a troublesome one to handicap from a props perspective as a result of it might simply get out of hand, and that might throw issues out of whack. It’s a December sport however climate shouldn’t be a lot of an element. That massive line is tempting however in the long run it’s a stay-away for me.
Let’s get to the picks. All strains and odds are from Fanduel and are as of Friday at 6 p.m., December 13.

1. Malik Nabers OVER 64.5 receiving yards (-113). Nabers has been battling an array of bumps and bruises, however he didn’t miss any practices this week and comes into this sport with no harm designation. This contest might have prolonged rubbish time and that might profit the rookie. Nabers has had no less than 50 receiving yards in 4 straight contests, and has 64 yards or extra in 4 of seven video games since coming back from his early-season concussion. He’s additionally seen no less than 9 targets in six straight video games. The Ravens have performed higher move protection the final month however they’re nonetheless ranked useless final towards the move, at 265 yards per sport. Give me the over.
2. Justice Hill OVER 13.5 dashing yards (-113). Until Keaton Mitchell sees some run, I don’t know Hill doesn’t get to this quantity. Sure, he’s primarily a pass-catching again, but when this sport performs out wherever near the unfold then Hill ought to get some prolonged run in a script the place the Ravens take the air out of the ball, and don’t danger a foolish Derrick Henry harm in a blowout. Hill surpassed this quantity 4 straight weeks early within the season, however has solely crested it twice since Week 5.
3. Ravens -3.5 first quarter (-106). Math time! 3.5 x 4 = 14, and the sport unfold is 16.5. So this primary quarter unfold is a reduction to the sport line, however that appears backwards to me as I believe the Ravens will virtually absolutely come out of the tunnel with weapons blazing. They’re not solely rested, however they misplaced to the Eagles the week earlier than their Bye, and this sport issues to them. On the opposite sideline, the Giants are dead-men strolling. The G-Males have additionally been sluggish starters. This wager feels too good to be true, however I’ll gladly take it.
These are the picks for Week 15. Good luck together with your wagers!
