We know the big storylines coming into the game — the Giants still haven’t won a game and, basically, any player on their roster who’s worthy of a starting spot on your fantasy roster is done for the season due to an injury. As a result, the Giants are a double-digit underdog for the first time since Super Bowl XLII. The big betting story of this game, however, has to do with the Broncos, who have been an incredible bet following their bye week.
- The Broncos are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games at home in October.
- The Giants are 2-12 SU and 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games on the road against teams with winning records.
- The Giants are 3-14 SU in their last 17 games as underdog.
Perhaps the most eye-popping trend this week is that Denver is 15-4 ATS in their last 19 home games following their bye week. Overall, they’re 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games following a bye. That is a big money betting stat, and even as a big favorite, they should have a good shot at extending the trend vs a broken-down Giants team that can’t run the ball. The Giants rank 30th in rushing yards per game, which is a colossal issue with Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall done for the season.
If you want to back the Broncos and are concerned about the big spread — don’t be. Going back to the beginning of last season, Denver has seven double-digit victories.
With a total of 40 points, it’s fair to assume that the Broncos will have to be responsible for the majority of those points for it to go OVER. The Giants are averaging just 16.4 points per game this season, while the Broncos are playing their typical stingy defense, allowing just 18.5 points per game. The teams have combined to post a 6-3 OVER/UNDER record this season.
