At least one oddsmaker isn’t bullish on the Giants’ chances
The New York Giants are favored to win just one game in 2025, according to oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here is a look at the early odds in each of the Giants’ 2025 games. It might be interesting to note how these change when we actually get to each individual game.
Week 1 — Giants at Washington Commanders
Line: Giants +7.5
I get it. The Commanders won 12 games and went to the playoffs last year, while the Giants won just three and went back to the drawing board. But, the Giants’ two losses to Washington last season came by a total of eight points. I would be tempted to take the Giants with the points.
Week 2 — Giants at Dallas Cowboys
Line: Giants +4.5
This is probably what should be expected. Again, though, the Giants lost two games to Dallas by a total of 11 points last season. If you think the Giants are improved beating the Cowboys once in 2025 should not seem impossible. I picked the Giants to win this game.
Week 3 — Giants vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Line: Giants +6.5
I kind of hate the Giants’ home opener being on a Monday night against this team. If the Giants are already 0-2, this line might be bigger when game week rolls around.
Week 4 — Giants vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Line: Giants +3.5
In my game-by-game prediction, I took the Giants to pull off the upset here. This is the game in my prediction that I probably question the most.
Week 5 — Giants at New Orleans Saints
Line: Giants -1.5
This is the ONLY game DraftKings currently has the Giants favored in. Who knows what the line will look like when we actually get to October. Maybe Jaxson Dart is starting for the Giants that week. We should probably hope that isn’t the case, though. That would mean the Giants are 0-4, and it would mean the rookie quarterback is starting earlier than ideal.
Because I’m an optimist, and because I don’t bet on games, it’s easy for me to say I would take the Giants here if I did bet.
Week 6 — Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Line: Giants +7
This is the Eagles we’re talking about here. I am not telling anyone to put money on the Giants.
Week 7 — Giants at Denver Broncos
Line: Giants +7.5
I can’t pick the Giants win this potential Russell Wilson Revenge Game. Today, though, the points are tempting.
Week 8 — Giants at Eagles
Line: Giants +10.5
A double-digit spread, and I can’t say I blame Vegas. Again, it is the Eagles and I would not put a dime of my hard-earned cash on the Giants in Philly.
Week 9 — Giants vs. San Francisco 49ers
Line: Giants +3.5
I am not as high as some on the 49ers and (perhaps foolishly) picked the Giants to win this game. I would take the Giants and the points here.
Week 10 — Giants at Chicago Bears
Line: Giants +5.5
Well, I did pick the Giants to lose this game. I am still taking the Giants and the points. A 5.5-point spread feels like too much.
Week 11 — Giants vs. Green Bay Packers
Line: Giants +4.5
I (again, perhaps foolishly) picked the Gians to pull off an upset here. I will hedge my bet and take the Giants with the points.
Week 12 — Giants at Detroit Lions
Line: Giants +8.5
That’s a hefty number, but I don’t know who will be playing quarterback for the Giants at that point. I wouldn’t touch it.
Week 13 — Giants at New England Patriots
Line: Giants +3
No guts, no glory. Right? I picked the Giants to win here. I will, in fake life as my 5-year-old granddaughter calls it, take the Giants to win here.
Week 15 — Giants vs. Commanders
Line: Giants +4.5
I want to take the Giants and the points. I just can’t touch this one, mostly because of the quarterback uncertainty this late in the year.
Week 16 — Giants vs. Minnesota Vikings
Line: Giants +2.5
The J.J McCarthy Revenge Game. I would not touch this one from a Giants’ perspective.
Week 17 — Giants at Las Vegas Raiders
Line: Giants +2.5
It’s a thin line, but I’ll take the Giants and the points.
Week 18 — Giants vs. Cowboys
Line: Giants +1.5
I would not go anywhere near this game right now.
