The New York Giants will host the San Francisco 49ers for Week 9 matchup, live from MetLife Stadium. The Giants are currently 2-6 for the season, and one of the biggest reasons why is the injuries they’ve suffered. At first it was WR Malik Nabers, who’s out for the season with an ACL tear. Then it was their RB Cam Skattebo was suffered a gruesome leg injury, ending his season. The Giants have a decent squad with their QB1 Jaxson Dart leading the way. However, we may have to wait at least for a year before we see what they can achieve in full strength.
The 49ers are on a similar boat, dealing with multiple injuries to some of their key players, and that has continued to be the story for them since 2023 Super Bowl appearance. The 49ers are 2-3 in their last 5 games, with their latest loss coming to the Houston Texans. And we doubt their playoff chances with all the injuries they’re dealing with, most likely to get knocked out in the wildcard round, if they make the playoffs.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Christian McCaffrey anytime TD scorer | -220 | -250 |
| Mac Jones over 34.5 passing attempts | -128 | -105 |
| Mac Jones over 0.5 interceptions | -130 | -145 |
We expect Christian McCaffrey to score a TD at any time, looking at the Giants 25th ranked pass defense, allowing 9 rushing TDs so far, and the 49ers heavily relying on McCaffrey to make plays and score a TD. The Giants also rank 23rd in scoring defense and 22nd in red zone defense, making McCaffrey to score a safe bet.
Mac Jones could have higher than 34.5 passing attempt, as the Giants have a weak pass defense, sitting at 26th, allowing 245.3 yards on average. Jones has started for 6 games so far and has attempted 30 or more passes in 5/6 games.
Mac Jones could throw over 0.5 interceptions as he has thrown 4 INTs in the last three games, and his recent performance against the Texans, completing only 59.4% of his passes, suggests that he may thrown an INT again. Especially since he has tendencies to throw very risky passes at times.
We expect the 49ers to pull away with a win over the Giants, simply because of San Francisco’s far superior defensive unit, that can make multiple stops. The Giants are also missing some of their key players due to injuries, and the 49ers’ defense, plus their offense led by McCaffrey, should be enough to get the 49ers the win.
Prediction: 49ers win the game 27-24
