Daniel Jones OVER 3800 yards | DraftKings
This one is a little contentious among the Win Daily Family, but when we dive into what Jones did last season and what the potential is this season it’s ripe for the over
He passed for 3,027 yards in 12 starts, with 24 TDs, 12 INTs, with 18 fumbles, losing 11. Outside of the 23 turnovers, these numbers are great. The Giants brought in some offensive line help through the draft in their first, third, and fifth round picks, and also brought in some veteran lineman. This might not sure up the offensive line, but the hope is it will be better. Jones was sacked 38 times last year, averaging over 3 a game.
Jones was also without a healthy Saquon Barkley for most of the season, arguable the most important piece to the Giants offense. He was also without oft injured tight end Evan Engram, who, when on the field, has elite talent.
If we take Jones’s season and push it to a 16 game average, he flies over the 3800 mark with about a game to spare. Jones now will have Jason Garrett as an offensive coordinator, who routinely put up great numbers when he was Dallas’ head coach and OC. In his 3 years as a full time OC in Dallas, all his teams ranked in the top half of the league in points getting as high as 2nd and passing yards within the top 10 each season.
With Saquon fully healthy (700+ yards receiving his rookie year, a better offensive line, and a better offensive coach this 3800 OVER should hit easy. But wait, there’s more! The Giants defense is dreadful and their schedule is very hard per many, many metrics. It is fair to assume that they will be down in most of the games they play and for some a majority of the time. This is another avenue for Jones to gain more pass attempts and more yards.

Saquon OVER 1200 rushing yards | DraftKings
In each of Saquon Barkley’s first two seasons he eclipsed 1000 yards rushing the ball. Fully healthy, he was other worldly with over 1300 yards rushing and another 700+ receiving. Last year he missed a few games and really wasn’t himself until a few games into playing again.
This season should be more like the first assuming he is in good health. As said before, the offensive line should be improved, maybe not by leaps and bounds, but by something! Daniel Jones will also be able to extend drives long then Ol’ Eli, potentially leading to more carries for Saquon.
And again, Jason Garrett is great at clapping, but he’s also had some GREAT rushing offenses his years in Dallas. Since 2014, Garrett has had a top 10 rush offense every year and was in the top 5 4 out of 6 years. This bodes very well for Saquon in terms of rushing yards. He will get the attempts and hopefully a scheme that won’t just run him directly up the middle on every 1st & 10. I’m looking at you Pat Shurmur. Garrett has always had great offensive line play in Dallas, so here’s to hoping he can teach the Giants offensive line a thing or two.
I think there is a great shot at this OVER hitting and wouldn’t be surprised if you had a game or two to sit back and count your money. Make sure to lock it in right now on DraftKings Sportsbook!
Giants Total Wins UNDER 6.5 | DraftKings
While we have spent a lot of time here talking about why the offense should be better so Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley can rack up some yards, that doesn’t mean we think they will be go. One reason we think they will rack up so many yards, Jones in particular, is that the defense is really that bad.
Just a little context on how bad they were: they gave up less than 20 points two times last season, once to the Washington Redskins and once to the Chicago Bears and Mitchell Trubisky. They were 28th in passing yards against, and 30th in points against.
Over they offseason they released Alec Ogletree (addition by subtraction), added James Bradberry, Blake Martinez, and drafted Xavier McKinney. Each of these moves should help the defense, but by how much?
It also should be noted that they have one of the hardest Strength of Schedules based on a few different metrics. The one I like looking at is Warren Sharp’s based on the Vegas Win Totals for the upcoming season, rather than looking back. With this, the Giants have the 2nd hardest schedule in the NFL.
A bad defense, a hard schedule, and a not so great offensive line will lead this team down a dark path. Lock in the UNDER 6.5 win on DraftKings Sportsbook now!
