NFL Week 6 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions: Giants vs. Ravens
New York Giants +5.5 (-110)
Tell me, have you heard this before? The Giants have a ton of injuries at receiver, and the offensive line is still a little shaky. This is the trend with this team over the last few years; usually, they would be at 1-4. The difference maker has been Brian Daboll, who is getting the chirps of coach of the year as they’re 4-1.
They come in as a home dog to Baltimore, who is not playing like a complete team this season. The passing defense is last, and they’ll be without star DB Marcus Williams this week. Daniel Jones hasn’t been much of a passing threat, but he might be able to exploit this lousy secondary.
The Ravens’ rushing defense has been much better, as they’re tied for the 12th most rushing yards allowed. They’ll see Saquon Barkley in the backfield, who is second in rushing yards and ran for 164 yards against Tennessee’s top-10 run defense.
Last week the Baltimore offense looked out of sync for the first time all season, and the Giants’ secondary has done well with one-on-one coverage, which means they’ll focus on shutting Lamar down on the ground
With how tough the Giants have played each opponent, they can keep this game close or even get the win.
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
