New York Giants +5 (-110)

When the Giants finally fell out with Danny Jones about three weeks ago I assumed the intention was a full tank. They wanted Tommy DeVito to be the QB over Drew Lock (who they paid $5MM to be the backup) and that screamed of an organization-wide tank. Tommy Two Scoops got hurt and messed up that plan, forcing the Giants to start Drew Lock last week. Lock gets the start again this week and while the Giants seem to be packing it in for the season, they still should not be 5 point dogs to the Saints at home. No matter what you think of the Giants with Dexter Lawrence on IR, a “limited” Malik Nabers and a horrendous O-line, you cannot get to the Saints as 5 point road favorites. Best I can get to is MAYBE the Saints being 2 point favorites. And that is even a stretch. Look, these are professional players playing for their next contracts. Daboll might even be playing for his job at this point (the team can’t just quit or he’s a dead man walking). Give me the Giants. I don’t have to watch this game but at this number, I do have to bet it.
