New York Giants Odds
The New York Football Giants date back to 1925 when Tim Mara purchased the franchise. Back then, the team called New York City home, more specifically the Polo Grounds.
They relocated to the Garden State in 1976, playing home games in East Rutherford.
Fast forward to current times, and a new era is officially underway. Eli Manning is now retired, and in the process, the torch has been passed to Daniel Jones. Along with All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley, the franchise has two key offensive pieces to build around.
The Giants have a storied NFL history that includes four Super Bowl championships.
Consider this your guide to the past, present, and future. We’ll also share a rundown on ways to place your bets on the next Giants football game. Ready, set …

Giants 2020 season preview
New head coach Joe Judge takes over a New York Giants team seeking its first winning season since 2016. This includes last year’s 4-12 record.
Out of the 13 teams the G-Men are facing, only four made the playoffs in 2019. One is the rival Philadelphia Eagles, the defending NFC East champions. The San Francisco 49ers, who lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, are another.
But if Big Blue is going to have any success, improving defensive play and building a strong offensive line would be a good start. New York added Andrew Thomas, an offensive tackle out of Georgia, and Xavier McKinney, a safety from Alabama, with its first two picks in the 2020 NFL Draft.
In other words, this is a Giants team with more questions than answers.

How did the Giants do last year?
Two words: not good.
The G-Men finished third in the NFC East with a 4-12 record. As far as the NFC standings went, only the former Washington Redskins and Detroit Lions finished with a worse mark (3-13).
The defense was a big issue as opposing teams averaged a tad over 28 points per game. The offense remains a work in progress. New York scored about three touchdowns a game. Chalk it up as a rebuilding year.
How to Bet on Player Props and Futures Odds
NFL betting is about much more than whether or not the New York Giants will cover the point spread. Wagering on player props and futures adds another wrinkle to the NJ sports betting experience.
And the options expand far beyond which team will win the next Super Bowl. This is considered a futures bet. The wager is linked to the outcome of a sporting event that has yet to take place. Here are a few other examples of NFL futures:
- NFC East winner
- NFC champion
- Division finishing position
You can also bet on which conference will secure the Super Bowl title (AFC or NFC), which teams will face each other in the Big Game, and total wins for the Giants. At DraftKings Sportsbook, the 2021 win total for the Giants is set at 7, but keep in mind that there are now 17 games in a season.
Bettors can put money down on how one of the Giants will perform in a game or during the season. These wagers fall under the player props category. And they are often posed as a question. Simply sign in to your NJ sportsbook app of choice, and the NFL menu will include a page of options, from team futures to player futures and props and beyond.
Here are a few examples:
- NFL regular-season MVP
- Daniel Jones regular-season passing yards
- Saquon Barkley total yards (rushing and receiving)
Giants’ quarterbacks over the last 20 years
This list is an extremely short one thanks to the longevity and success of Manning. The New York Giants made a 2004 draft-day trade with the San Diego Chargers, and the rest is history. Manning claimed the role as a rookie and didn’t let go until it was time to call it a career.
Jones entered the picture last season as a rookie passer out of Duke University, but he clearly has some big shoes to fill.
Manning is now retired. Here is a look at the highlights of both quarterbacks:
Eli Manning
- Played 16 seasons
- Two-time Super Bowl MVP
- Led the Giants to two Super Bowl wins over Patriots
- His 236 regular-season games and 248 total games are franchise records
- Started 210 consecutive games (third-most by an NFL QB)
Daniel Jones
- Selected sixth overall in 2019 NFL Draft
- Played in 27 games, including 26 starts
- 24 touchdown passes led 2019 rookie class
- Set team rookie records with 3,027 passing yards and 284 completions
- Had three games of 300-plus passing yards and four touchdowns (rookie season)
