Even after a 7-4 start to the season, oddsmakers remain skeptical about the New York Giants’ chances of ending their playoff drought.
postseason. Even after a 7-4 start to the season, oddsmakers remain skeptical about their chances of ending that drought.
That comes on the heels of a humbling Week 12 loss to the Cowboys , who hold a one-game lead over their division rivals for the top wild-card spot in the NFC. Behind those two sits Washington , setting up the possibility of the entire NFC East making the playoffs – something that’s never happened in NFL history.
Since the NFL expanded to a 14-team playoff field in 2020, 23 teams have won at least seven of their first 11 games. All but two of them eventually made the postseason, including each of the last two Super Bowl champions. FiveThirtyEight’s QB-adjusted Elo forecast gives the Giants exactly a 50% chance of reaching the postseason. Football Outsiders’ model has a similar 50.2% projection, while the New York Times’ NFL playoff simulator is far more optimistic with a 64% chance for the G-Men.That would imply a roughly -180 price for this team to make the playoffs, a far cry from its current odds of +110.
