Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 3-point favorites versus the Giants, while the game’s total is sitting at 50½.
New York had won three in a row and rolled up a staggering 105 points in the process, but it was shut out in Philadelphia and unable to keep pace with Dallas prior to the bye week. With leading rusher Rashad Jennings (knee) set to miss his third straight game and leading receiver Victor Cruz lost for the season in the debacle against Philadelphia, rookie first-round pick Odell Beckham Jr. figures to play a bigger role after hauling in a pair of TD passes from Eli Manning versus Dallas. Manning led the league in interceptions (27) last season and threw five more in the first four games, but he hasn’t been picked off in the last three. Rookie running back Andre Williams rushed for 110 yards in the past two games while subbing for Jennings.
Last time out for New York, they were a 31-21 loser as they battled the Cowboys on the road. The Giants failed to cover in the match as a +4.5-point underdog, while 52 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.
Team record: 3-4 SU,3-4 ATS
NY Giants is 6-3 SU in its last 9 games at home
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of NY Giants’s last 5 games at home
Indianapolis has a pair of familiar faces in the lineup in ex-Giants Hakeem Nicks and Ahmad Bradshaw. While Nicks has been a non-factor at wideout despite playing in the league’s top passing attack, Bradshaw has been an integral part of the offense while sharing time with Trent Richardson in the backfield, rushing for a pair of scores while tying for the team lead with six scoring receptions. Reggie Wayne (elbow) is expected to return to the lineup after missing last week’s game and will provide a boost to Luck, who leads the league with 2,731 passing yards and is tied with predecessor Peyton Manning with an NFL-best 22 TDs. The Colts led the AFC in total yards allowed until surrendering a whopping 639 to Pittsburgh.
The Colts were a 51-34 loser in their most recent outing on the road against the Steelers. They failed to cover the -5-point spread as favorites, while the total score (85) made winners of OVER bettors.
