Sunday afternoon’s loaded NFL Week 6 slate features an NFC showdown between the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
The Saints (1–4, 3rd NFC South) have dropped three in a row following last week’s 23–13 home loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Giants (3–1–1, 1st NFC East) are unbeaten over their last three, returning home after a 27–27 tie with the Washington Commanders.
The game is a dead-even pick ‘em on DraftKings Sportsbook, with both teams holding -120 moneyline odds. The game total is set at O/U 46.5 points.
Let’s dive into the top player prop bets for Sunday’s clash between the Saints and the Giants.
Saints vs. Giants NFL Player Prop Bets
Malik Nabers 7+ Receptions (+132)
After New York’s Week 4 win over the Cardinals, Malik Nabers didn’t bite his tongue about wanting the ball more often. It seems that Coach John Harbaugh and OC Matt Nagy took notes. Last week against the Commanders, Jameis Winston peppered the star receiver with a career-high 20 targets; he turned them into 11 catches for 121 yards and a touchdown.
With their backfield production suffering without Jaxson Dart, the Giants will likely keep putting the ball in the air against the Saints, who have allowed 7+ receptions to three pass-catchers so far this season. Winston has only two targets in mind — Nabers and Isaiah Likely — and showed last week he can satisfy both of their target appetites.
Tyler Shough 1+ Interceptions (-132)
Tyler Shough is coming off his first true stinker of the season, completing only 16 of 25 passes for 96 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions in Week 5 against the Vikings. That said, he’s now thrown five interceptions total — tied for fifth-most in the NFL — and has been picked off at least once in three of his five games so far.
While few defenses can match Minnesota’s tenacity, Shough will face another tough assignment on Sunday against the Giants.
New York has quietly been pretty solid at stopping the pass this year, ranking ninth in the NFL in total passing yards allowed (1,048) and 10th in opponent yards per attempt (6.5). Although the Giants have gotten consistently burned in the end zone, they head into Week 6 tied for the fourth-most interceptions (6) through five weeks — recording at least one pick off of four of the first five QBs they’ve faced.
