Gross Bombs: NFL Props for Week 16
Josh Gross
The New York Giants may not be considered a true contender for Super Bowl 56 but by playing in the NFC East, anything is possible if you get into the playoffs (big if). The G-Men are still hoping to make an impact in 2021 and got their third win of the season over the Las Vegas Raiders to move to 3-6. The Giants are back off BYE for Week 11 and have to visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as huge road underdogs.

Super Bowl Odds Update – New York Giants
The New York Giants have had some ups and downs during the 2021 season, and even though they’re coming off a win in Week 9, safe to say that their outlook is bleak, especially with the Buccaneers on tap. The Giants have been near the bottom of the standings for the last few seasons and have had a top-10 pick in the NFL Draft in five of the last six seasons. The accumulation of talent hasn’t seemed to materialize the team into a contender as sportsbooks like BetMGM have the Giants Super Bowl odds at +20000 heading into Week 11, which is the ninth-worst odds among all 32 NFL teams.
- Week 11: +20000
- Week 10: +20000
- Week 9: +75000
- Week 8: +75000
- Week 7: +75000
- Week 6: +50000
- Week 5: +25000
- Week 4: +30000
- Week 3: +12500
- Week 2: +10000
- Week 1: +8000
- Preseason: +8000
Giants Futures Odds
The main futures markets to pay attention to for the New York Giants are odds to win the NFC East and NFC conference odds.
For the NFC East, they’re listed at +5000 to win the division and trail the Dallas Cowboys (-3000), Philadelphia Eagles (+1700) and Washington, who has +3000 odds to win the divisional crown at BetMGM.
As for NFC Conference odds, the Giants are far down the list to get back to the Super Bowl and sit at +10000 odds at BetMGM to pull it off. That’s the seventh-worst odds in the conference and seems highly unlikely given the uphill battle just to make the playoffs after starting the season 3-6 in the standings.
New York Giants Betting Trends
The Giants are coming off a season where even though they finished 6-11 in the standings, they were a reliable spread most weeks. They finished 9-7 against the spread in 2020 and an impressive 6-2 ATS in road games.
For 2021, the Giants are 5-4 ATS and game totals are 3-5-1 through nine games. The Giants won and covered the spread as 3-point home underdogs in Week 9 vs the Raiders and won outright as three-point home underdogs to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7.
In 2020, totals bettors had a huge edge by taking unders in Giants games and total went under in 12 of their 16 games last season. Oddsmakers didn’t think there would be much offensive fireworks in New York games as only one game saw a closing total over 50 points. After finishing with the 31st-ranked scoring offense last year, bettors should expect a lot more games in 2021 with totals in the 42- to 45-point range.
Here are the updated trends from the 2021 season:
- 5-4 ATS
- 3-5-1 O/U
