NEW YORK GIANTS - REASONS FOR OPTIMISM
|
NEW YORK GIANTS - CAUSE FOR CONCERN
As difficult as last season’s strength of schedule was, this year might be even more difficult. The Giants face division rivals PHI and DAL twice this season. Both teams rank 1st and 3rd in my NFC Power Ratings. Their offense overperformed expectations, but they still ranked 22nd in net yards per play and 18th in net EPA while getting extremely lucky by going 8-4 in one-score games with having the lowest EPA lost due to turnovers on offense and the 2nd best blended 4Q win % over exp. The Giants defense also ranked 28th in EPA despite playing the 26th-ranked schedule of opposing offenses. The Giants have five games this year with a rest disadvantage which will only make matters more difficult for Big Blue. Barkley has yet to sign and accounted for 30% of their offensive yards last season. |
NEW YORK GIANTS - BETTING OPPORTUNITES
Organizationally, the Giants are a team on the rise. They overperformed expectations last year but found their franchise quarterback and Brian Daboll, who won Coach of the Year honors. If the Giants continue this momentum, they could ascend when the rest of the NFC starts falling back to Earth. Unfortunately for them, that may still be a couple of years away, with Dallas and Philadelphia as the 2 NFC East heavyweights. With their win total in line with my Power Ratings, I found an opportunity to fade my favorite team. With the anticipation that Shannahan will figure out their quarterback situation, the 49ers should be laying 8 points in San Fran.
