Sunday’s betting action in Week 6 of the NFL season comes to a close with the 0-5 New York Giants facing the 3-1 Denver Broncos as heavy underdogs at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Game time on NBC for this inter-conference clash has been set for 8:30 p.m. (ET).
New York at Denver Game Overview
What could go wrong has and at 0-5 straight-up on the year there are far more questions with New York than answers. The Giants have gone 2-3 against the spread and the total has gone OVER in their last three games after staying UNDER in their first two. They did manage to cover against Philadelphia and Tampa Bay in their last two road games to provide a glimmer of hope that they can keep Sunday night’s game close as well.
Eli Manning has thrown for 1,338 yards and eight touchdowns in his first five games, but the big question now is who he will throw the ball to on Sunday night. Both Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall were lost for the season in last Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers as two of his top targets and Sterling Shepard is listed as day-to-day with an ankle sprain. Making matters even worse is a New York ground game that is ranked 30th in the NFL with an average of 77.8 rushing yards a game.

Denver is coming off its bye week at 3-1 SU with a 2-1-1 record ATS. The total stayed UNDER 44 points in a 16-10 victory against Oakland in Week 4 as a 3.5-point home favorite after going OVER in its previous three games. The Broncos are now 13-3 SU in their last 16 home games including a perfect 3-0 SU (2-0-1 ATS) start this year.
The ability to effectively run the ball on offense while keeping the opposing team out of the end zone on defense has been a long-running formula for success in Denver. This year’s version is third in the league in rushing with an average of 143 yards per game and it seventh on defense in points allowed (18.5). Trevor Seimian has done a respectable job at quarterback with 888 yards passing and seven touchdown throws against four interceptions and CJ Anderson has anchored that power running game with 330 yards on 73 carries.
