Daboll Will Make Giants The 'Luckiest' 8-2 Team By Beating The Lions

The New York Giants (7-2) are getting no respect from the betting market when they host the Detroit Lions (3-6) at MetLife Stadium in Week 11. NY is only a 3-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook despite winning five of the last six games. Detroit beat Green Bay 15-9 in week 9, but the Giants outplayed the Packers.

The Giants beat the Houston Texans 24-16 last week. The Giants are playing the Lions on Sunday. The Lions are on a two-game win streak. They are +145 on the moneyline and -170 on bets.

Giants are 8-2 and will advance to the playoffs. They play the Detroit Lions. The Giants have been the laughing stock of the NFL since 2017. Since then, only the NY Jets and Jaguars have worse win-loss records. Brian Daboll has brought his Bills-magic to New York. He's getting the most out of QB Daniel Jones and maximizing Saquon Barkley.

The weather forecast for Sunday at MetLife will keep both teams from airing it out. Wind gusts are projected to be upwards of 35 mph during game time. The Lions have the worst defense in the NFL by expected points added per play (EPA/play). The Giants have two top-10 graded defensive linemen by Pro Football Focus: Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams.

Giants are 13th in net EPA/play, Detroit is 31st, Green Bay is 19th, Chicago is 25th and Detroit should be at least 4.5-point favorites over the Lions at home.
