Detroit Lions vs. New York Giants
Thursday, August 08, 2024 – 07:00 PM ET at MetLife Stadium
Lions Profile
The Lions are coming off their best season in the Super Bowl era and are looking to take the next step this year. Jared Goff has morphed from a cautious quarterback with the Rams to a steady hand under center for the Lions. This team has all the tools to get back to the NFC Championship as they are too talented to be a one-hit wonder.
Giants Profile
The Giants aren’t sure what they have with Daniel Jones as he has looked woefully overmatched at times, while at others he has delivered points when needed.
After hemming and hawing as to whether to commit to their No. 6 overall choice in 2019, the Giants felt backed into a corner and caved to his demands, giving the mercurial quarterback a four-year, $160 million deal despite Jones playing in only six games in 2023 due to injury.
The Pick
The Giants’ coaches are going to want to win this meaningless contest as it will set a tone going forward for a team where wins could be tough to come by when the games count. Therefore, it’s no wonder the line has them favored by a field goal against a Super Bowl contender like the Lions.
The public will likely smash the books with Detroit money so let’s go the other way and lay it with Big Blue.
Predicted Score: Giants 19 – Lions 13
NFL Pick: Giants -3 (-120) at BetOnline
