- Seattle Seahawks on the moneyline.
MNF WINNER.
Game 279.
5:15 PM PST/8:15 PM EST.
I think we can all agree that the Giants struggle on nationally televised games, particularly against solid opponents. Granted, the team is dealing with some injuries. But they are just 1-2 SU, failing to cover all three outings thus far this season. They opened the campaign up suffering a devastating loss at home against the Cowboys, 40-0. They then went on the road and eked by with a three-point victory over the Cardinals. There was some hype coming out of their camp following the win. Then they came back down to Earth, getting crushed in San Francisco at the hands of the 49ers, 30-12. Despite having a few extra days off to rest, heal, and prepare it is most likely they will once again be without running back, Saquon Barkley (check status). As of this post, technically, he is a gametime decision. The one positive note for New York is that they should see the return of left tackle, Andrew Thomas. The Giants have yielded 12 sacks already. Quarterback, Daniel Jones has been knocked around quite a bit, and seems to be running for his life regularly (LOL). Offensively, New York possesses one of the worst units in football, ranking 31st in points scored, averaging just 14.3 points per game. They’ve also turned the ball over five times in just three contests. Defensively, their statistics are just as dismal, ranking 30th in points allowed, getting plowed for over 32.7 points per game. To add insult to injury, their so-called stop-unit hasn’t recorded a single takeaway. The Seahawks opened up the campaign at home with an ugly loss to the Rams, 30-13. They then went on the road to take down a very talented opponent, beating the Lions, 37-31. Last week at home, they got another win and cover against the Panthers. With a well-balanced offense, Seattle ranks fourth in the NFL in scoring, accounting for over 29.0 points per game, while only turning the ball over once. Their defense leaves a lot to be desired. However, a bright spot is ranking sixth in the League against the rush. If you recall, they took down the Giants at home last season, 27-13 to give them their fifth ATS cover against the G-Men over the last six meetings. Seattle is a better team on both sides of the ball and comes into this Monday Night matchup riding two consecutive wins and covers. Take the Seahawks on the money line. Thank you.
