The New York Giants hit the road in Week 7, traveling to Empower Field at Mile High to face the Denver Broncos. Coming off a surprisingly one-sided victory over the Philadelphia Eagles and having won two of three games since Jaxson Dart became the starting quarterback, the 2-4 Giants will try keep building momentum.
The 4-2 Broncos, with one of the league’s best defenses, won’t be an easy team to do that against. Denver is a 7-point favorite, per FanDuel Sportsbook.
The Denver defense, No. 2 in the NFL in points allowed at 15.8 per game, will provide a stern challenge for Dart and a Giants’ offensive line that has played better since left tackle Andrew Thomas returned to every-down action.
The Broncos are No. 1 in the NFL in Expected Points Added (EPA) on defense (33.33), No. 1 in sacks with 30, pressures (77) and pressure percentage (33.8). Denver’s run defense is also solid, eighth in the NFL with an average of 3.9 yards allowed per rushing attempt. Broncos edge defender Nik Bonitto leads the league with 8.0 sacks.
