The Detroit Lions are in sole possession of the NFC North, but the suddenly hot Green Bay Packers are making a late charge up the standings. The Lions will look to create some breathing room when they tangle with the New York Giants in Week 15. Oddsmakers initially set the G-Men as 4.5-point home chalk with an OVER/UNDER of 43.5.
- The Giants are 4-1 SU in their last five games after winning as an underdog.
- The Lions are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as road underdogs.
- The Lions are 2-7 SU in their last nine games on the road against teams with winning records.
When these squads collide, high-scoring affairs are the norm. The total has gone OVER in five of the past seven meetings between the Giants and Lions. Detroit has been a better UNDER bet this year, however, as nine of its 13 tilts have gone below the closing total.
Home-field advantage has been non-existent in this series, as visiting clubs have gone 7-2 SU and 8-1 ATS in the past nine between the Giants and Lions. That’s a good omen for Lions bettors who are banking on them covering as road dogs.
The Giants are another bunch who are a consistently reliable UNDER bet week in and week out. Ben McAdoo’s crew are 3-10 OVER/UNDER on the year and have cashed UNDER bets in each of their past five games.
New York will be riding a high after toppling Dallas 10-7 at home in Week 14. The Giants are the only team in the NFL to beat the NFC East-leading Cowboys, who are now 11-2 in light of the setback.
