The New York Giants travel to Munich, Germany to face the Carolina Panthers this Sunday in a match between two 2-7 teams that are trying to find their footing.
The Giants are favorites in this game (-6.5), breaking a 24-game streak where they were listed as an underdog. It was the second-longest active underdog streak in the NFL behind — you guessed it — the Panthers, who are now up to 30 straight games.
The last time the Giants were favored was in Week 2 of last season against the Cardinals. They were 4.5-point faves and won the game, 31-28, after being down 28-7 in the third quarter.
Is there any money to be made in this game for bettors? Of course. Here are our top three prop bets in the game, per BetMGM.
Panthers QB Bryce Young UNDER 200 yards passing (-115)
The Giants, even with their young secondary, have allowed the ninth-fewest yards passing in the NFL this season. Young has shown that he can produce over the past few games, tossing for 224 yards against Denver and 171 versus New Orleans. But that was before the team purged themselves of two of their top wide receiver (Diontae Johnson, Jonathan Mingo) and the Giants did some soul-searching in their secondary after some lax play. The Giants lead the league in sacks this season but had none last week, so they’ll be coming for Young on Sunday.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. OVER 75.0 yards rushing. (-130)
Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been the best rookie running back in the NFL this season with 442 yards rushing. This week, he faces the worst rushing defense in the NFL in the Panthers, who have allowed 159.3 yards per game. The payoff isn’t great here, so we suggest you parlay or tease this prop but expect Tracy to eat on Sunday.
Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson OVER 5.5 receptions (+110)
Malik Nabers will likely have cornerback Jaycee Horn sticking to him most of the game, so he’s likely to see a drop in targets. Darius Slayton (concussion) didn’t make the trip and the team is still iffy on putting the ball in Jalin Hyatt’s hands. Add in the fact that tight end Theo Johnson has back and knee issues and Robinson suddenly becomes the default option. He should have approximately 8-9 grabs in this game.
