Big Blue has big expectations this season.
Giants training camp doesn’t open for another two weeks, but bettors have been hammering their futures odds over the summer, specifically win totals and odds to make the playoffs.opened the Giants’ win total for this season at 7.5 with the Under priced at -135 and the Over at +110.
Gamblers pounced on those odds immediately, making the Giants’ win total the most bet at the sportsbook — 91 percent of bets on the Giants’ win total are on Over 7.5 as well as 94 percent of the money. It’s a similar story when looking at their odds to make the playoffs, which opened at +310 and have moved to +260 since.
The Giants have been the second-most bet team to make the playoffs in terms of tickets and have received the fourth-most money in that market behind the Lions, Jets and Raiders.surge of money began flooding toward their odds to win the Super BowlMuch of that optimism is tied to their new head coach John Harbaugh, who is the favorite to win NFL Coach of the Year at BetMGM with +500 odds. In Harbaugh’s 18 years in Baltimore, the Ravens were under .500 just three times and failed to win at least eight games just once.
The Ravens also made the playoffs 12 times, tied with the Chiefs for the third-most appearances in that span. New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks talks to head coach John Harbaugh during football practice. Harbaugh will need to work his magic on a Giants team that struggled through a 4-13 season, which included a nine-game losing streak that spanned mid-October through late December.
The Giants have been to the playoffs four times over that same time frame and have won more than seven games twice since 2012. Offensively, the Giants were middle of the pack in the league last season, but defensively, they were bottom five in yards allowed and gave up the seventh-most points per game. Bettors apparently saw enough from Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo and the rest of the G-Men last season to buy in early.
