The Lions are back at home after a tough loss to the Eagles in Week 11. They’ll get the Giants, another NFC East foe, in what should be a bounce-back victory.
New York is on a five-game losing streak, and all the magic that came early in the season seems to be gone.
Detroit is a 10.5-point favorite and -550 on the moneyline, while New York is +410 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 50.5 points.
Here are my favorite player props for this Week 12 NFL game between the Giants and Lions.
Giants vs. Lions Best Prop Bets
Amon-Ra St. Brown over 6.5 receptions (-140)
Week 11 was a fluke. Amon-Ra St. Brown is better than his performance suggested. One of the best wide receivers in the league isn’t going to replicate catching two of 12 targets for 42 yards. Plus, last week’s game was against the Eagles. The Giants don’t have as fierce of a secondary.
New York has a solid front seven, which could lead to some decent pass rush, but if they can’t reach the quarterback, Jared Goff will have plenty of open receivers down field. St. Brown will be the top target as he typically is each week.
Although he had a poor game against Philadelphia, he still garnered 12 targets. If he gets double-digits again, something he’s done in five of 10 games this year, then he shouldn’t have an issue catching at least seven.
Jared Goff over 253.5 passing yards (-111)
The Giants’ exciting portion of the season is over. The team allowed 33 fourth quarter points to the Broncos in a 33-32 loss in Week 7. That began a five-game losing streak that will likely continue through this matchup.
New York’s front seven isn’t living up to the hype it did in the preseason. The pass defense ranks 22nd in yards and touchdowns, while the run defense is 30th in both. Overall, the team’s defense ranks 29th in yards and points.
After a low-scoring loss to the Eagles in Week 11, Goff should blow the roof off of Ford Field. This is the Lions’ first home game since Week 9, and it should be a statement victory. Detroit has lost two of its last three and should put forth a dominant offensive showing against a reeling Giants’ defense.
Wan’Dale Robinson over 54.5 receiving yards (-113)
This likely isn’t going to be a pretty game for the Giants. They’re on a five-game losing streak and going against Detroit at home. The Lions should score a lot, making this a catch-up game for New York.
Wan’Dale Robinson will be a big factor in the pass game, regardless who is under center. He’s the Giants’ top receiver and will get plenty of targets as New York attempts to stay within striking distance.
