Saints vs. Giants prediction & best bet

Giants ML (-104 via FanDuel)

The Giants are playing like an organized outfit under John Harbaugh - something we haven't seen out of New York in years.

A much-invested-in New York defensive line is finally rounding into shape, even without Brian Burns. The Giants have the fifth-highest pass-rush win rate, while the Saints rank 26th in pass-block win rate. So while their traditional pass-rush stats aren't great, I expect that unit to be in Tyler Shough's grill consistently and be the difference in a New York home win.

With the Giants priced as only a 1.5-point underdog, it makes more sense to back New York's moneyline to win outright. FanDuel offers the best price there at -104.

📡 SBR Edge

The Saints are tied for the worst turnover differential in the NFL at minus-6.

Saints flatlining after promising start

The Saints continue to receive the benefit of the doubt from oddsmakers after some impressive early-season flashes. But they shouldn't be a road favorite here given what we've seen from New Orleans over the last few weeks.

Forget winning: The Saints haven't kept the final score within a touchdown since Week 2. They need to show more before I throw any money their way. I'm backing the more mentally tough team in this matchup.

Score prediction: Giants 25, Saints 23
