The Giants had their best season in a decade in 2022, making the playoffs and winning a game before falling in the NFC divisional round.

With Daniel Jones locked up long-term and a strong draft class in hand, could the New York Football Giants make an even longer run this time around?

We’ve got a number of odds and futures picks for you to consider heading into the season.

New York Giants best bets: Expert picks for 2023 NFL futures odds

The G-Men won nine games in 2022 and not so surprisingly took out the fraudulent 13-win Minnesota Vikings in the wild card round of the playoffs.

Now that the team has figured out Saquon Barkley’s contract situation, the Giants are loaded up with young talent -- including what they acquired via the draft.

There are still questions about the passing game, but the addition of Darren Waller could play large if he can remain healthy. Could all these pieces come together to make something special in 2023?

New York Giants NFC East Odds: (+700 or better)

The reigning division champion Eagles and Cowboys both have better odds than the Giants, but there hasn’t been a repeat winner in nearly 20 years.

But take out division games and the Giants have a seemingly favorable schedule. Early games against the 49ers, Dolphins and Bills will be tough, but those in between matchups with Cardinals, Seahawks, Jets and Raiders.

Look, it’s a longshot. Big Blue is much more likely to end up as another wild card team this season.

But at +700 and the roster coming together under the best coaching and management they’ve had in a decade, they may be worth a sprinkle.

New York Giants 2023 win total prop: Over 7.5 wins (+100 or better)

It appears that Vegas isn’t too impressed with the Giants’ offseason haul, with them favoring them to fall two games in the win column in 2023.

The Giants had seven wins by Week 10 last season – and that included the bye week. But they then tumbled to the finish line, winning just two games in the final eight weeks.

We’ve had a couple years now to get used to the 17-game schedule and after reviewing the Giants’ opponents this year, it’s certainly fathomable that they can get to 10-plus wins if they play consistent football.

We think their season will come down to the divisional games – they need to take both against Washington, and at the very least split with Philly and Dallas to make things happen.

Just getting to over 7.5 wins will be even easier and we like it to happen for a second year in a row.

New York Giants player props: Saquon Barkley over 1,000.5 rushing yards (-110 or better)

Barkley had the most rushing yards of his career last season, running for 1,312 yards in 2022 – his best mark since his rookie season and the fourth-best in the league last year.

The Giants placed him on the franchise tag in the offseason and finally agreed on a deal for the season this week. But he'll be a free agent again next season, so that chip will still be on his shoulder.

He proved his worth last season and he should do it again to help himself secure that long-term deal he wants.

With the addition of Darren Waller, the passing game can rely more on the actual receivers and less with Barkley, meaning his production will come through the ground much more.

As long as he remains healthy, Barkley should hit 1,000+ rushing yards this season.
