Previewing The Betting Odds For The Giants 2021 Season

• The New York Giants are the third option in the NFC East with +450 odds to win the division and a win total of 7.5.
• The Giants are underdogs to make the playoffs with a +210 betting line.
• New York is one of the longest shots on the board to win the Super Bowl at +8500.

NEW YORK – The New York Giants have been stuck in mediocrity since their 2011 Super Bowl-winning season. With talent all around the field, this could be the season in which they break through to the next level.

New York Giants 2020 Season

The New York Giants compiled a 6-10 record in the 2020 season, which is actually not too bad considering their offensive woes. The team had the second-fewest yards per game with just 299.6. To be fair, the team was missing Saquon Barkley who is a proven commodity to the offense’s efficiency.

The 6-10 record made for the best season since 2016, but the team attempted to build a more talented roster in the offseason.

Giants Offseason Acquisitions

• Kenny Golladay, WR
• Kyle Rudolph, TE
• John Ross, WR
• Danny Shelton, DT
• Adoree’ Jackson, CB
• Billy Price, C
• Josh Jackson, CB
• Reggie Ragland, LB
• Kadarius Toney, WR
• Azeez Ojulari, LB
• Aaron Robinson, CB

The offense is now loaded with enough weapons to ideally let Barkley see less stacked boxes. If Daniel Jones takes the next step forward, this offense could be a legit threat.

The team also tried to straighten up their defense a bit adding some respectable corners in free agency.

New York Giants 2021 Season Odds

Despite the apparent improvement to the team’s roster, NFL betting sites are reluctant to buy into the Giants. The team’s win total shows little to no improvement whatsoever despite there being an extra game in the season.

New York Giants Win Total Odds

• Over 7.5 +115
• Under 7.5 -150

Even with the NFC East being a lackluster division, the unimpressive win total translates to long odds to win the division - an accomplishment the franchise hasn’t pulled off since 2011.

NFC East Odds To Win Division

• Dallas Cowboys +120
• Washington Football Team +220
• New York Giants +450
• Philadelphia Eagles +600

As one may expect as the third choice in the division and a win total that favors Under 7.5 wins, New York is expected to keep their search for their first playoff appearance since 2016 into the next season.

New York Giants To Make The Playoffs

• Yes +210
• No -290

From a talent standpoint, New York can compete in the division, but the product hasn’t been seen on the field to this point. This is either a reason to avoid betting on the Giants or the perfect time to do so as the odds can be rewarding.
