I believe the line will be flipped come kickoff...probably NYG -2.5, pending any Arodgers news. First play of the season is strictly what I believe to be value.
Giants at home on (nearly) the 20-yr anniversary of 9/11. In fact, on Sept. 10, 2001, these two teams played on Monday Night Football. The Broncos won the game 31-20 in the first ever regular season game at Invesco Field at Mile High. Wide Receiver Ed McCaffrey broke his leg during the game. The game, being hosted in Denver and televised on late night television on the east coast, reportedly saved a significant amount of lives the following day, with many fans calling into work the next day.
The Giants are also facing their former head coach, Pat Shurmur. Some extra motivation for the guys that have been around for awhile. On the other side, Teddy and Drew are in a QB battle and if Arodgers opts to stay in Green Bay, I see Daniel Jones having the advantage under center. I personally see Drew Lock as the starter as the two class of 2019 QB's will go at it Week 1.
The Giants will be on a short week the following week, as they will visit Washington on Thursday Night Football in Week 2.
The Broncos will visit the Jaguars in Week 2, with a possible Tebow sighting during the Sunday afternoon game.
All that said, I see value here with NYG and they could be favored by 2 or 3 come kickoff. I see some lines already flipping to a pick'em at some shops. Let's pull the trigger and cash out in 4 months time.
NYG +1 (-110)
