New York is a 4-point home favorite in East Rutherford at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The home team is just 2-7 SU and 1-8 ATS in the last nine games between the Giants and the Lions.
Going off as a 3.5-point underdog at home against the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday, the Giants picked up a statement win in a physical 10-7 slugfest. New York’s defense forced Dak Prescott into the worst game of his career, and Odell Beckham Jr. picked up the game-winning touchdown on a 61-yard pass from Eli Manning.
The team will now be tasked with avoiding a letdown game against Detroit. The Giants are 4-1 SU in their last five games coming off an upset win.
Over their last 22 games as home favorites, the Giants are 17-5 SU and 13-9 ATS per the OddsShark NFL Database. New York has won each of its last three games as a home favorite with a 2-1 ATS record over that stretch.
Betting Line / Total: New York -4 / 41 Points
Trend: The visiting team is 7-2 SU and 8-1 ATS in its last nine games in this matchup.
Trend: The Giants are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 15.
Even at home as a 7.5-point favorite against the lowly Chicago Bears, Detroit couldn’t avoid its weekly helping of drama. The Lions fell behind in the fourth quarter, a position they’ve found themselves in all but one of their games this season. And for the eighth time this year, the Lions pulled out a come-from-behind win to improve to 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS over their last nine games.
Detroit has a brutal stretch of games to end the season, going on the road against the Giants and Cowboys, and then at home against the Packers.
Sunday’s total is set at 41 points. The UNDER is 7-0 in the Lions’ last seven games overall.
The Lions and the Giants are both playing red-hot football coming into this Sunday’s action. With Detroit looking to lock up the NFC North down the stretch and New York still alive for the NFC East title, this is one of the biggest games on the Week 15 card.
