How many times do we have to watch the New York Giants in primetime this season? The bad news is that Sunday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6 won’t be the last time. New York will play on Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers in Week 14. Make it stop!
Since we do have to sit through another Giants game, at least we can try to make it profitable. Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which kick off at 8:20 pm ET on NBC. Also be sure to check out our full Giants vs Bills predictions.
Bills -19.5 alternate spread (+158)
Josh Allen to throw 3+ passing touchdowns (+250)
James Cook to record 80+ rushing yards (+182)
Parlay odds: +1119
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is the entire plan here, as Josh Allen and James Cook both having big nights would obviously work well with a big win for Buffalo. Let’s break down each of the legs.
Bills -19.5 alternate spread (+158)
The Giants have been pretty much terrible through 5 weeks, and now they are dealing with a slew of injures. The following starters missed practice time this week: Daniel Jones, Andrew Thomas, Darren Waller, Wan’Dale Robinson and John Michael Schmitz. Things have gone from bad to worse for head coach Brian Daboll – and they may not have even hit rock bottom at this point. The Giants especially miss left tackle Thomas, as they have given up more sacks than any other team in the NFL this season (30). Buffalo is coming off a London loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and should be playing inspired football. I see Allen, Stefon Diggs and the rest of the gang putting plenty of points on the board. The Giants will have to score a fair amount to keep this game within a reasonable number; it’s doubtful they can do it.
Josh Allen to throw 3+ passing touchdowns (+250)
As has been made clear, I’m going all in on the Bills in this Same Game Parlay. I’m expecting a beatdown and in order for that to happen Allen will naturally have to deliver a big performance. The Wyoming product has tossed multiple touchdown in 3 of 5 games this season, including 3 once and 4 on another occasion. He should be able to hit that mark again on Sunday at the expense of a New York squad that is allowing 7.8 yards per pass attempt.
James Cook to record 80+ rushing yards (+182)
I expect Bills RB James Cook to do some damage, as well. If Buffalo jumps out to a big lead, it will be content to hammer the running game and milk the clock. When Cook has had at least 15 carries this year, he has rushed for 98 and 123 yards. Asking him to reach 80 against the Giants shouldn’t be too much. The G-Men are 3rd-to-last in the NFL in rushing defense, giving up 151.4 yards per game on 5.3 yards per carry. Lots of yards for Cook, setting up a few TDs for Allen, resulting in a blowout win for the Bills brings this SGP home.
