ASAwins NFL New York Giants Betting Prediction:

We are betting UNDER 5.5 Wins for the New York Giants – 2025. The New York Giants enter the 2025 NFL season with significant challenges on both sides of the football. They also face a difficult schedule and a lame-duck coach in Brian Daboll. It all adds up to UNDER 5.5 wins and is one of our NFL Future bets for the 2025 season.

2024 Performance: The Giants finished 28th in team DVOA last season, reflecting poor efficiency on both sides of the football. Their offense ranked 30th in yards per play (4.7), while the defense allowed 5.6 yards per play (24th). This contributed to the 4th-highest scoring differential of minus -8.4 points per game.

Quarterback Concerns: Russell Wilson, now the Giants’ QB, is a shadow of his former self. At 36, his 2024 stats with the Steelers (2,721 yards, 15 TDs, 8 INTs, 81.7 passer rating) showed a decline. Moreover, his fit in a struggling Giants offense raises doubts about a quick turnaround for the G-Men.

Tough Schedule: The Giants face a brutal early slate, with six of their first eight opponents having made the playoffs in 2024. This includes two games against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. A realistic 1-14 start is possible, with a potential road win at New Orleans on October 5th (Week 5) as the lone bright spot. The Giants may be Underdogs in all 17 games this season. Their best chances to be favored are at New Orleans and at Las Vegas, but even then they may be slight dogs in both games.

Coaching and Decline: Under head coach Brian Daboll, the Giants have declined from 9 wins in 2022 to 6 in 2023, and just 3 in 2024. This signals a steady downward trajectory with no clear signs of improvement.

Offensive Line Weakness: Ranked 23rd-28th in 2024 in most key O-line categories, the Giants will have a tough time running the football in 2025. They will also struggle with protecting their aging QB. New York allowed 48 sacks last season and a pressure rate of 38.4% (28th). The Giants were 27th in run-block win rate and averaged just 4.2 yards per rush (18th).

The Giants’ poor 2024 performance, a declining roster, and one of the league’s toughest schedules will be tough to overcome for the Big Blue. A 1-14 start is plausible, with wins potentially limited to New Orleans and Las Vegas. We could see this Giants team totaling 3-4 wins at best. The UNDER 5.5 wins is an attractive bet because the team’s offensive inefficiencies, defensive vulnerabilities, and lack of momentum under Daboll suggest they won’t reach six victories.

Bet: UNDER 5.5 Total Wins for the New York Giants.
