The Seattle Seahawks are looking to secure their third consecutive win as they go up against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. However, the Giants are facing injury concerns that could impact their performance in the game.
The Giants will be well-rested as they haven’t played since their loss to the San Francisco 49ers on September 21. On the other hand, the Seahawks are riding high after their 37-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.
The Giants opened as a slight one-point favorite for their second home game of the 2023 season. The reason behind this small margin is the injury concerns for the Giants. They were without key players such as RB Saquon Barkley, left tackle Andrew Thomas, offensive lineman Ben Bredeson, and linebacker Azeez Ojulari in Week 3.
Seattle’s offense has been performing well in the past two weeks, scoring 37 points in back-to-back games after a slow start in Week 1. With the Giants’ injury report yet to be released, it would be wise to take the points with the Seahawks now at +1.5. If the Giants are indeed missing Barkley or other important starters, the line is likely to move in favor of the Seahawks.
In terms of the over/under, both the Giants and the Seahawks have struggled defensively this season, with each team giving up at least 88 points through three weeks. Their combined games have resulted in scores of at least 27 points for both teams. If Barkley does play, the total points line is expected to rise. Currently, betting on the over 46.5 points seems like a reasonable choice.
The odds are slowly shifting in the Giants’ favor, but the Seahawks have a chance to secure a victory, especially with the potential return of key players in their secondary. This is their best opportunity to win in East Rutherford in nearly six years. If you believe the Giants will make a comeback, you can currently bet on them at -120.
In conclusion, the Seahawks are looking to extend their winning streak, while the Giants are dealing with injuries to key players. It remains to be seen how these factors will affect the outcome of the game.
