New Orleans Saints vs. New York Giants
I bet this last week at Giants +5 before it started heading down. I needed to make sure Drew Lock was starting at quarterback first, though.
I refuse to bet on Tommy DeVito, so I needed that assurance even though Lock didn’t play great on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys.
The main thing here is that the Saints should not be laying this many points to any team on the road.
You cannot say the Cowboys have given up on the season after how they played on Thanksgiving. That was a pride game and they showed up.
This week, I’m expecting better from Lock. He’ll have extended time to prep instead of playing on a short week with uncertainty as to whether he’ll actually play. He got first-team reps in practice this week and will be in a better position to succeed.
The Saints have gone 11 straight games without forcing the opposing team to throw an interception. That’s an NFL record. They have one – one! – this season.
New Orleans has been extremely unlucky in the turnover department, obviously, and one tipped ball is eventually going to turn into an interception. For now, though, it’s a good spot for Lock.
Lock will get to face a team that plays its home games in a dome in December with extra rest. New Orleans also lost Taysom Hill for the rest of the season, which is a huge blow to its offense.
The way this Saints offense could attack the Giants is through the passing game since the New York secondary, specifically the cornerbacks, are awful. New Orleans’ receivers are bad enough, though, that I think the Giants defense can hang with them.
The Saints run defense ranks 31st in success rate, which means the Giants can lean on Tyrone Tracy Jr.
I’m not going to sit here and try to sell you on the Giants, but they’ve been competitive. They’ve lost six one-possession games this season — seven if you count a loss to the Bengals that saw Cincinnati get a long rushing touchdown with just minutes left in the game.
The Giants can lean on the run and should be able to get more out of their passing game than last week. Losing Hill takes away any flexibility the Saints offense had left, and I think Derek Carr will be under pressure often against a strong Giants defensive front.
Give me the points with New York.
My Pick: Giants +5
