2024 NFL Cheat Sheet: New York Giants Stats & Odds
Rookie Receiver Malik Nabers Could Lead The Way in the 2024 New York Giants Stats
Coming Off A Six-Win Season, Expectations Are Pretty Low For the New York Giants In 2024
There were those in the tri-state area ready to build a statue of new head coach Brian Daboll after he led the New York Giants into the playoffs in 2022 after five straight losing seasons. Will the 2024 New York Giants stats have the Giants closer to that 9-win season, or are they headed for another losing campaign?
The Giants saw two of their most productive players head elsewhere, with running back Saquon Barkley signing with the rival Green Bay Packers and safety Xavier McKinney landing with the Green Bay Packers. The biggest question is whether this will be the swan song for quarterback Daniel Jones with the Giants.
The Giants were just 2-7 on the road during the 2023 season, and that included a 1-7 record as a road underdog favorite. They were just 4-7 following a loss. The Giants were 5-2-1 against the spread at home compared to a 3-6 mark on the road. They covered in four of the six NFC East games.

Six of the eight home games landed under the total for the Giants last season.
The Giants headed into last season at +800 to win the division and were eighth at +1800 to win the NFC championship, so the expectations are somewhat lower in 2024. The Giants paid out at +125 by finishing third in the NFC East in 2023. There are +180 odds for the Giants to end up third in the NFC East this season.

Is There Life After Saquon?
One of the few constants for the Giants in recent years has been the play of Saquon Barkley at running back. The Giants let one of the best running backs in franchise history walk and now Devin Singletary is joined by Eric Gray (48 yards on 17 carries in 2023) and rookies Dante Miller and Tyrone Tracy.

The biggest addition figures to be rookie receiver Malik Nabers, a top-10 selection in the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU.
Three of the four free signing from other teams to sign multi-year deals are offensive linemen as the Giants look to continue to try to shore things up on the line.
After one year with the Giants, tight end Darren Waller retired.
Four of the top six tacklers last season were defensive backs and when looking at the 2024 New York Giants stats, that needs to change.
Super Bowl Odds: Giants Aren’t Close To Being A Contender
When the Giants edged the Minnesota Vikings 24-17 in the 2022 playoff opener, it was the first win in the postseason for the Giants since Super Bowl XLVI following the 2011 season when the Giants upset Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. It was the second time that the Super Bowl results saw Eli Manning and the Giants stunning Brady and the Patriots.
It could be a while before the Giants are a contender to return to the Super Bowl.
Conference Odds: Lots of Work to Do
Only the Carolina Panthers have longer odds of representing the NFC in the Super Bowl than the Giants, so there could be a long road ahead for the Giants.
There is a chance to build some early momentum with the first three games coming against the Minnesota Vikings, Washington Commanders, and Cleveland Browns.
The Giants are currently listed as the underdog by the NFL betting lines against both Minnesota and Washington and don’t expect the Giants to be favored very often in 2024.
Division Odds: Can The Giants Hold Off the Commanders in the NFC East?
The fact that the Washington Commanders are favored against the Giants in Week 2 is a sign that the Commanders could be a tougher team to deal with led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. That is not great news for the Giants since two of the three wins against NFC East teams came against Washington.
The Oct. 20 game when Saquon Barkley returns to New York/New Jersey as a member of the hated Philadelphia Eagles could be great theater. It is hard to envision the Giants finishing ahead of either the Eagles or the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East standings.
Regular Season Wins: The Giants Have A Chance To Top 6.5 Wins
Four of the 11 losses in 2023 came by a total of 17 points. However, four of the wins came by five points or less so things could go either way for the Giants when it comes to the 2024 New York Giants stats.
Crossing over to face all four teams in the NFC South could prove to be beneficial since that could be the weakest division in the NFL.
When trying to project the 2024 New York Giants stats, keep in mind that the final six games include playing the Eagles and Cowboys on the road as well as home games against Baltimore and NFC South betting favorite Atlanta so picking up wins early in the season could be crucial if the Giants are to exceed 6.5 wins during the regular season.
To Make Playoffs: Not Looking Promising
The Giants are two years removed from making it into the playoffs so never say never. However, there are plenty of teams to jump over. It doesn’t help that other NFC teams like the Atlanta Falcons and Washington Commanders look to be more dynamic on offense might find it hard to be better than the 2023 squad that was 29th out of 32 teams in total offense and 30th in scoring offense.
The schedule is somewhat reasonable so perhaps the Giants will defy the odds but we would tread very carefully before betting on that to happen.
Side Bets
The 41.5-point total in the matchup with the Minnesota Vikings is one of lowest in Week 1 of the NFL season so that is an option to consider.
When looking at the projected NFL stats, Malik Nabers has -110 odds to go either over or under 875.5 receiving yards while he does offer some value at +105 to go over 5.5 receiving touchdowns.
Devin Singletary is currently at -115 to go over 4.5 rushing touchdowns and has the same odds to exceed 750.5 rushing yards.
Quarterback Daniel Jones is seventh at +1600 in the NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds. Only five players have shorter odds than Nabers at +1500 to be the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Burns seems to be a little undervalued at +5000 to lead the NFL in sacks during the regular season.
