Giants vs. 49ers Total Pick
Will there be many points scored when two struggling football teams, the New York Giants and the San Francisco 49ers, meet up on Sunday at 4:25PM ET?
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, New York is favored on the road, as the Giants are getting odds of -2.5 points against the 49ers. The over/under total for the contest has been set at 42 points. New York has won three of its last four meetings with the 49ers and the two have hit the under in three of their last four encounters. The public betting in this game has New York getting 60 percent of the wagers on the road. Sunday’s game takes place from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California and the contest will air live on FOX.
The Giants are coming off a 51-17 loss at home to the Rams last week to fall to 1-7 on the season. New York is 4-4 with the over/under total this season. New York has been a mess on offense, averaging just 16.1 points and 314.3 yards per game this season. Eli Manning has thrown for 1,820 yards and 12 touchdowns, but also has six interceptions and has been sacked 19 times. Rookie tight end Evan Engram has emerged as the leading receiver with 34 catches for 412 yards and four touchdowns. Orleans Darkwa is the leading rusher with 345 yards on 67 carries. Defensively, the Giants are giving up 25.9 points and 400.3 yards per game. They are allowing 275 passing yards per game. Jason Pierre-Paul is leading the defense with 36 tackles and 4.5 sacks.
San Francisco is coming off a 20-10 loss at home to the Cardinals last week to fall to 0-9 on the season. The 49ers are 5-4 with the under. The 49ers are also having a lot of offensive struggles, as they are averaging just 15.9 points and 335 yards per game. C.J. Beathard has been the quarterback over the past few weeks. He has thrown for 941 yards and two touchdowns this season to go with four interceptions. Carlos Hyde is leading the offense with 494 rushing yards and four touchdowns. The San Francisco defense is allowing 26.6 points and 392.3 yards per game. The 49ers struggle to stop the run, allowing 135.7 yards per game on the ground.
This game should be interesting, as both offenses are a mess, yet both defenses have struggled to stop the run. Still, the trends say the Giants have hit the under in 9 of their last 13 road games and the 49ers have hit the under in 19 of their last 27 at home. I don’t see San Francisco being able to put a lot of scoring drives together with Beathard under center.
