Giants Face Huge Upset Risk vs. Lions
20 Nov
Summary
- Giants are 10.5-point underdogs against Detroit Lions.
- Over/under for Giants-Lions game is 49.5 points.
- Lions boast top offense led by Jared Goff and strong rushing game.
The New York Giants, currently at a 2-9 record, are set to face the Detroit Lions in Week 12 as significant 10.5-point underdogs. This matchup features the highest over/under of the season for a Giants game, set at 49.5 points, signaling expectations for a high-scoring affair. The Giants have struggled with late-game collapses throughout the season, a pattern that has led oddsmakers to place little faith in their chances against a formidable opponent.
Detroit's offense presents a major challenge for the Giants' defense. Quarterback Jared Goff leads a unit ranked highly in points and yards, with key playmakers like Amon-Ra St. Brown and tight end Sam LaPorta dominating the passing game. Additionally, the Lions boast a powerful rushing duo in Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, making them a dual-threat nightmare.
Despite Detroit's offensive prowess, their defense has shown some vulnerabilities, particularly in pass-rush and run-stop win rates. This could offer the Giants a glimmer of hope if they can protect the football and establish a clean pocket for their quarterback. However, with the Lions' consistent scoring and playoff aspirations, the Giants will need a significant turnaround to compete.
