The New York Giants (0-2) enter Week 3 as 6.5-point underdogs for their upcoming matchup against the Cleveland Browns (1-1) at Huntington Bank Field this Sunday, per FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under for the game has been set at 38.5 total points, signaling expectations of a low-scoring contest. The current moneyline stands at Browns -300, Giants +245.
The Giants failed to cover the spread in both of their games, which have also gone under the point total. Last season, they finished 8-8-1 against the spread, with 11 of their 17 games hitting the under.
Meanwhile, the Browns are 1-1 against the spread this year, with one game going over and the other under. In 2023, Cleveland performed well against the spread, finishing 10-7-1, with 12 of their 18 games going over.
Cleveland leads the all-time series against New York, 27-21-2, including a split in their two postseason meetings. The last time these teams faced off was in 2020, when the Browns claimed a 20-6 victory at MetLife Stadium. However, the last time the Giants played in Cleveland, they secured a 27-13 win back in 2016. Since the Browns moved to the American Football Conference (AFC) after the 1970 NFL-AFL merger, the teams have met only 11 times, with the Giants holding a slight 6-5 edge in post-merger matchups.
This Week 3 contest presents an opportunity for the Giants to rebound from their early-season struggles, but they’ll need to find answers on both sides of the ball to pull off the upset.
