Why Bet The Giants:
✅ Brian Daboll had his debut at the Giants’ helm in the opener of the 2022 NFL preseason. He used a bunch of starters, sending the message to his team that nobody’s place is safe. We should see more of the same in Week 2.
✅ The Giants racked up 418 total yards at the start of the preseason. New York outlasted New England 23-21, and the Giants ran 33 times for 177 yards, averaging an excellent 5.4 yards per carry.

✅ The Bengals didn’t play well in their preseason opener, suffering a 36-23 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals. They surrendered 14 points in the second quarter and 13 in the third, so a couple of fourth-quarter touchdowns didn’t help a lot.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals played as small 1.5-point home favorites in that heavy loss to the Cardinals. They used three quarterbacks who combined for 277 yards and a touchdown while completing 22 of their 33 passing attempts. Jacques Patrick led the way for the Bengals’ backfield with nine carries for 30 yards and a TD, while wideout Kendric Pryor had four catches for 89 yards and a touchdown. The Bengals averaged just 2.2 yards per rush while committing 11 penalties for 104 yards.
New York Giants
The Giants beat the Pats in Week 1 but failed to cover a 3-point spread at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Tyrod Taylor tossed for 129 yards and one score, while Daniel Jones completed six of his ten passing attempts for 69 yards. Saquon Barkley had four carries for 13 yards, and Antonio Williams led the Giants’ backfield with 61 yards and a touchdown on nine totes. New York held New England to 308 total yards, yielding just 52 on the ground and 2.9 per rush.
