Giants vs. Rams Player Prop
Taking a look at the rushing yards props for this game, Saquon Barkley has a prop set at 64.5 yards. Betting on the under offers a payout of -115, while going for the over nets -117.
Saquon Barkley is currently 8th among running backs in rushing attempts this season, accumulating 877 yards so far. As he enters this week’s game, his average yards per carry stands at 4. With the Rams coming in with the league’s 13th-ranked rush defense, I expect Barkley to have plenty of opportunities in the game plan and go over 64.5 yards.
- The Prop: Saquon Barkley Over 64.5 Rushing Yards (-117)
Giants VS. Rams Predictions
Los Angeles currently has 5.5-point advantage on the point-spread. The lines have seen minimal changes, staying close to the initial values.
Even though the Rams are favored to pick up the win, I like the Giants in this spot as the underdogs. Before kickoff, I’m getting a bet down on New York as 5.5-point underdogs.
