Giants open as 7.5-point road underdogs vs. Saints

The New York Giants (0-3) have opened at 7.5-point underdogs for this Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints (2-1), per the Tipico Sportsbook app.

The over/under opened at 42.5 points.

The Giants are 1-2 against the spread this year. New Orleans is 2-1.

Lat week, the Giants were 2.5-point favorites at home against the Atlanta Falcons and lost outright, 17-14. The 31-point total was 17 points shy of the over/under, which was 48.

The Saints were 3.0-point underdogs in New England and won the game, 28-13. The over/under was 44.

This game should be a particularly difficult one for the Giants who are averaging just 18.7 points per game going up against the third-ranked Saints defense.

The Giants’ defense has allowed 24.7 points per game thus far and will face the 14th-ranked Saints’ offense, who are averaging 24.3 PPG.
