The New York Giants have rocked the NFL world for five weeks, with a 4-1 win over teams like the Tennessee Titans (3-2) and the Green Bay Packers (3-2) to boot. However, despite their impressive track record, the Giants are viewed negatively by the NFL elite. The G-Men enter the Week 6 game at home against the Baltimore Ravens as the team six points behind.
It seems that bettors are seeing the disrespect NY is facing, as for the second week in a row, the Giants are the weakest team that bettors believe will win outright. Based on OddsChecker US75% of the Ravens-Giants line bets went in favor of the G-Men.
I’m confused as to which side I’m leaning towards. On the other hand, New York hasn’t lost to the Ravens at home since 2001. In fact, The Giants have averaged 12 points in their two home meetings against the Ravens. That said, Lamar Jackson has never lost to rival NFC East. NOT ONE TIME! (He’s 12-2 before the Conference). And that includes a 27-13 wins at home against Daniel Jones and Big Blue in 2020.
The most logical thing to do is look up the matches. Clearly, the Giants’ second point has been well above average this year, allowing at least 9 yards per pass during the season (6.3) – better than players like New England Patriots, LA Chargers and Packers. However, Big Blue’s defense is the seventh worst in the NFL, allowing 5 yards per take. Even so, Baltimore also allows 5 yards per carry. Basically, the first team that is forced to pass the ball more often will have a harder time scoring. It will be a battle of attrition as both teams choose to run the ball a lot and control the clock, forcing their opponents to pass and hope Danny Dimes or Jackson make a mistake and give their team the spot. on the great field.
That’s where the Giants have an advantage. G-Men ranked sixth in the NFL in ownership time in 2022. Ravens, despite being one of the biggest heavyweights in the NFL – 23rd in pass percentage play – actually a pretty mediocre team when it comes to possession time. Baltimore holds the ball for an average of 30 minutes and 17 seconds per game – ranking 15th in the NFL. If the Giants want to win, they’ll need Saquon Barkley to work from time to time. I wouldn’t be surprised if New York held the ball for 40 minutes in this game.

On the other side, Baltimore needs to fight fire with fire. Think about last week’s professional soccer competition between the Giants of New York and the Packers of Green Bay. The Packers are leading 20-10 at half-time. Green Bay held the ball 12 times in the first half. The team won. Now, all the Pack needs to do is run the timer. Just control the ball, don’t flip, and you’ll be back on track with a 4-1 record. How many times do you think Green Bay held the ball in the second half? Eight times. In 25 innings, though only 10 of those came while the Packers were winning or drawing – but even then, they only ran the ball three times – the Packers ran the ball on less than a third of their innings. surname. That’s not counting the games leading up to the penalty kick. The odds would be even worse if that were the case.
The Giants just made the Packers’ defense drop. The Packers played 25 times in the second half. Big Blue runs 39 (excluding intentional safety). Ownership times lean heavily towards New York and that’s exactly what they wanted. The demons could not allow the same fate to befall them. Greg Roman needs to be smarter than Adam Stenavich, and based on the style of play I think Baltimore will have a chance to do so. As long as Raven avoids going into a high-tempo attack and making unpredictable mistakes to keep the Giants from making substitutions or personnel changes, they have a good chance of winning.
Baltimore should win this game. In terms of talent, the Ravens blasted the G-Men out of the water like they were a whale poking through the surface for air. However, it’s hard to bet on the Giants right now. They are very good at getting their opponents to play their game, and they play better than most people. I’m not sure New York will win, but I feel pretty good about getting the points in this game.
