Prop Bets: New York Giants VS New England Patriots 2025-12-01
Giants vs. Patriots: A Tale of Two Tomorrows (Week 13 MNF)
The New England Patriots (-7.5, implied probability: ~60%) strut into Foxborough like theyâve already won, riding a nine-game winning streak thatâs as fragile as a Jaxson Dart helmet. The New York Giants (+7.5, 25% implied) are here to remind us that sometimes, a team can lose six straight and still make you question every life choice.
Why the Patriots Should Win:
- Jaxson Dartâs Concussion-Induced Caution: The rookie QB, fresh off protocol, averages 45 rushing yards per game but will likely play it safe. Think âTom Brady in a bubbleâ meets âDeion Sanders on a treadmill.â
- Patriotsâ Red-Zone Redemption: After a 0-for-2 red-zone disaster vs. Cincinnati, New Englandâs offense (led by Hunter Henryâs 115-yard, 1-TD game) is âfixedâ under Josh McDaniels. Translation: Theyâll score touchdowns⌠eventually.
- Giantsâ Defense on Life Support: With Dexter Lawrence (doubtful) and Co. sidelined, NY allows the 2nd-worst red-zone TD efficiency (71.43%). Bring popcorn for the Patriotsâ âinevitableâ TD parade.
Why the Giants Might Shock You:
- Erich Richterâs Heretical Pick: The New York Postâs Erich Richter (30.15% ROI since 2022) dares to back the Giants, citing New Englandâs âlucky winsâ and overrated defense. Trust a man whoâs mastered player props and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
- Tyrone Tracyâs Goal-Line Glory: The Giantsâ RB2 has five carries inside the 20-yard line this season vs. Devin Singletaryâs one. If Dart avoids contact like a caffeinated crab, Tracy gets the goal-line work.
Player Props to Steal (or Steal From):
1. Rhamondre Stevenson (-115, Over 21.5 Rushing Yards): The Patriotsâ RB1 returned from injury with 5 yards on 6 carries last week. Bet on him to ârediscover his legsâ in a game where the Giants allow 3.1 rushing YPC.
2. Tyrone Tracy (-110, Over 2.5 Receptions): With 3+ targets in 7/10 games, Tracyâs a safe prop. Unless the Patriotsâ defense remembers to exist.
3. Austin Hooper (-110, Over 10.5 Receiving Yards): The Giantsâ TE returns from concussion protocol, chasing 15-yard games. Bet on him if you enjoy watching backup QBs throw to open men.
Total Points (46.5): With the Giantsâ defense ranking 24th in DVOA and the Patriotsâ O-line ranked Top 5, this could be a low-scoring snoozefest. Under 46.5 (-110) if youâre feeling nostalgic for the 2000s NFL.
Final Verdict:
The Patriots are 7-point chalk with a 55.5% implied win probability, but Richterâs âoverrated defenseâ jab stings. If youâre feeling spicy, fade New England and back the Giantsâ props. After all, Jaxson Dartâs concussion history makes him more likely to throw interceptions than touchdowns.
âPick the Patriots. Unless youâre a Giants fan. Then cry in a corner.â â Your Uncle who still thinks Tom Coughlin invented football.
