There’s plenty to wager on in this game from fantasy to straight-up bets to player props.

Here are three props you might consider on Sunday, per BetMGM.

Daniel Jones OVER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (+160)

The dam has to break sometime. Daniel Jones has thrown just two touchdown passes in the Giants’ first four games despite playing from behind for all but 19 seconds this season.

The Dolphins have allowed seven passing touchdowns to opponents this season — four last week to Buffalo’s Josh Allen — and are ranked 25th overall against the pass.

This wager has a very good probability of hitting, and if it does, you’ll get a nice price.

Darren Waller OVER 40.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Darren Waller has been a bust thus far but, then again, so has the Giants’ offense. He has a 10.2 YPR on 15 catches this year and is expected to be more involved in the game plan going forward.

The Dolphins have been allowing 251.0 passing yards per game, and if Waller is to be featured, he should get 8-10 targets in this game.

Miami Defense/Special Teams to score and Dolphins to win (+500)

The Giants have been a mess on special teams and on offense. They have the second-worst turnover differential (-8) in the league and are very careless with the football.

They have already allowed two interceptions and a blocked kick to be returned for scores.

The likelihood of the Giants winning this game is next to zero, so all you’ll have to count on is their poor ball security continuing.
