Giants vs. Rams prediction, odds: 'Monday Night Football' NFL picks from proven model
Key Points:
- The New York Giants will face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football, with the Giants coming off a 28-20 win over the Cowboys and the Rams having lost 27-7 to the 49ers in Australia.
- Rams star Aaron Donald returns after missing the opener, but Los Angeles will be without Myles Garrett due to a knee injury; Puka Nacua is questionable and his backup Jordan Whittington is doubtful.
- The Rams are favored by 6.5 points with an over/under of 47.5 points; the SportsLine projection model, which has a strong track record, predicts the game will go over 47.5 points based on 10,000 simulations.
- Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart had a strong opener with 230 yards and three touchdowns, while Rams QB Matthew Stafford, coming off an MVP season, is expected to contribute significantly despite a slow start this year.
- The model also indicates one side of the spread is favored in over half the simulations, recommending bettors check SportsLine for detailed picks before making their wagers.
