New York is a 1-point home underdog at MetLife Stadium at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last nine games at home against teams with losing records, the Giants are 7-2 SU.
The Giants picked up an important win last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, improving to 5-3 SU on the season instead of falling to 4-4. Since starting the year off with a 2-3 SU and 0-3-2 ATS run, New York is now a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS over its last three games.
If the Giants can avoid a loss this week, the schedule lines up favorably for continued success with a home game against Chicago and a road game against Cleveland coming up.
Historically, New York hasn't fared well as a home underdog. The Giants are 0-10 SU and 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games as a home dog, with their last home upset coming all the way back in 2009 per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Betting Line / Total: Cincinnati -1 / 47 Points
Trend: The Giants are 1-4 SU and ATS in their last five games on Monday.
Trend: The Bengals are 0-8-1 SU in their last nine games against teams with winning records.
Cincinnati lost only four games in the entire 2015 regular season, but this year it took the Bengals only six weeks to get to their fourth loss. The Bengals limped into their bye week with a 3-4-1 SU and 2-5-1 ATS record, tying Washington, 27-27, as a 3-point favorite in their last game.
After finishing in the top 10 last season in scoring offense (26.2 points per game) and scoring defense (17.4 PPG), this year’s Cincinnati team is outside of the top 15 in both categories with 20.9 points for and 23.6 points against per game in 2016.
Monday night’s total is set at 47 points. The OVER is 5-2 in the last seven games between the Bengals and Giants.
The Bengals are 0-8-1 SU in their last nine games against teams with winning records. If Cincinnati hopes to keep its slim playoff hopes this season alive, the Bengals need a road win on Monday night in New York.
