New England Patriots Analysis
The New England Patriots’ offensive line-up has been an uneven one this season. Quarterback Mac Jones‘ completion percentage remains respectable but his interception count indicates potential issues under pressure; yet his average of 203.1 passing yards per game combined with 10 touchdowns suggests unrealized potential. Rhamondre Stevenson leads their ground game which hasn’t been particularly spectacular but remains crucial; with 482 rushing yards averaged at an impressive average 3.8 yards per attempt and Kendrick Bourne emerging as an integral member of their receiving corps offering reliable performance as well as playmaking abilities.
Defensively, the Patriots have had difficulty establishing dominance this season. Their inability to consistently pressure quarterbacks and poor run defense have been apparent in recent performances; this frailty likely contributed to their recent 1-6 ATS record in 7 games. To overcome their struggles against the Giants and turn around their fortunes against Saquon Barkley’s run game will require disrupting Daniel Jones’ rhythm while stopping Saquon Barkley from running it himself; defensive line and linebacker performances must improve by increasing pass rushing/tackling action while improving secondary play will also play an integral part in stopping big plays from happening this season.
New York Giants Analysis
On offense, the New York Giants have shown flashes of promise but overall have struggled for consistency. Daniel Jones has shown efficiency without particularly noteworthy touchdown numbers or yardage totals. Assuming their offensive line can address this vulnerability to sacks, Saquon Barkley has become the real star on offense with his ability to bring dynamism to their ground game. Fletcher has been instrumental in breaking for significant gains, which will be essential against the Patriots’ struggling run defense. Darius Slayton has been reliable as a receiver, but they need more explosive playmaking from their wideouts in order to stretch out the Patriots and open scoring opportunities.
The Giants’ defense has been more reliable than their offense, yet still has room to improve. Pressure on quarterback Eli Manning and turnover creation will be essential against Tom Brady and Co.; to limit running game usage while forcing Jones into making plays through the air while capitalizing on any mistakes he might make.
New England Patriots vs. New York Giants Against the Spread
The Patriots have struggled against the spread lately, going 1-6 ATS over their past seven games and 1-5 against spread in six road games. Their inability to cover spreads can be traced to an inconsistent offense and poor defense.
On the other side of things, the Giants are 3-8-1 against the spread in their last 12 games, suggesting difficulty beating it as well. They have shown slightly better success at home though and could potentially challenge the Patriots in this matchup.
