Saints vs Giants Betting odds
As expected, the struggling New York Giants are underdogs heading into this match on the back of their winless start to the year. The Giants are +7.5 underdogs against the Saints.
For New Orleans, Sean Peyton’s team are heavy favorites at -7.5 with the money line at -380.
Coming off a rather routine win over the Patriots with the Giants still winless, the odds favor the Saints in getting their third win of the season.
Saints vs Giants Picks
It's hard to get past the Saints, especially at home. Jameis Winston is playing rather well and the same cannot be said for Daniel Jones.
The Giants offense has put up 13, 29 and 14 points in its three games. The Saints, led by Winston, have put up 38, 7 and 28 in its three games.
With the Saints defense getting after the quarterback, Jones will have a hard time on Sunday. Expect the Saints to win, and rather easily.

Saints vs Giants Prediction
It is hard to envisage anything but a Saints win, especially at home. Jameis Winston is doing a good job at not turning the football over. With Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas on offense, the Saints should put up points.
Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley and Kenny Golladay will need to seriously pick up their game on Sunday. However everything points to a Saints win as they go 3-1 on the season.
Final Predicted Score: Saints 35:17 Giants.
