Week 17 greatest prop bets for Giants-Colts

Welcome to the New York Giants betting angle, Week 17 version! Every week, I’m providing you with my three favourite wagers for that week’s New York Giants recreation. My one rule: I received’t ever offer you wagers which are lower than -120. No slam-dunks right here!

It’s been a miserable season for Huge Blue. OK, that is perhaps the understatement of the yr. The two-13 Giants have the worst report within the NFL, haven’t received a recreation because the first week in October, and over the past two weeks they’ve been outscored 69-21. Final week’s 34-7 blowout loss to Atlanta featured not one, however two pick-sixes thrown by Drew Lock, who nonetheless is about to start out once more on Sunday. Huge Blue has gotten blown out a number of instances this season, and so they deliver two inglorious streaks into Sunday’s house finale towards the Colts: A ten-game shedding streak and an 0-8 report at house on this, their a hundredth season. Good instances! To these of you heading over to MetLife Stadium in drizzly climate for this final house recreation of the season, know that you’re true heroes.

The Colts are coming in on a excessive, after they shellacked the Titans 38-30 on Sunday. The ultimate rating makes the sport look a lot nearer than it was. Jonathan Taylor ran wild, piling up 218 yards on 29 carries with three speeding touchdowns. He must be licking his chops this week, because the Giants have allowed the third most speeding yards to opposing RBs on the season, and 12 speeding scores to the place. And it’s a recreation that issues for the 7-8 Colts, as they’re nonetheless within the hunt for the AFC’s final Wild Card spot. They’ll have to win this week and subsequent, and get assist, to allow them to ill-afford a stumble towards the NFL’s worst group.

The road for the sport is Colts -7.5, with a recreation complete of 40.5.

A foul season doesn’t imply it may’t be good for playing. I got here inside one half of a Malik Nabers receiving yard of my fifth straight profitable week. Nonetheless, I’m 10-5 over the past 5 weeks and hope to complete sturdy this week and subsequent.

Let’s get to the picks. All traces and odds are from Fanduel and are as of Saturday at 9 a.m., December 28. Observe: FanDuel has no passing, speeding, or receiving prop bets posted for the Colts this week. I do not know why that’s, however it restricted my choices.

1. Three-leg Parlay: Colts to win first half, Colts to win recreation, Jonathan Taylor anytime TD (+131). I’ve averted the complexity and infinite prospects of parlays up to now for this column, however it’s the vacation season, so let’s have some enjoyable. I believe the Giants are accomplished being aggressive, so I really feel excellent in regards to the Colts main on the half and profitable the sport. However you may’t get any worth with that, nor are you able to get any with a Taylor anytime TD. Throw them collectively and there’s optimistic cash. Usually I’d keep away from one of these three-leg wager at these odds, however I’m in.

2. Wan’Dale Robinson OVER 4.5 receptions (-120). Robinson has seen a whopping 32 targets over his final three video games. Sadly, that has solely translated to fifteen catches. This ought to be one other recreation the place NY is trailing many of the approach, and with Malik Nabers (toe) more likely to play however at lower than 100%, I believe Robinson will once more get a whole lot of appears to be like. Hopefully, there shall be higher effectivity with these targets. The Colts’ move protection is mediocre at greatest.

3. Drew Lock OVER 17.5 speeding yards (-113). Lock solely ran for one yard within the blowout loss to Atlanta, however he cleared 50 yards in his prior two begins. The Colts are permitting a median of simply over 20 speeding yards per recreation to opposing QBs, however they haven’t confronted any of the highest speeding QBs apart from Josh Allen. I believe Lock will make a few performs together with his legs this week.

These are the picks for Week 17. Good luck along with your wagers!
