NFL Betting Preseason Week 4: Patriots at Giants Odds and Picks

The New England Patriots will have a painful reminder of their epic Super Bowl loss from the 2008 season that ended 1 game short of perfection as they meet the New York Giants in the final preseason NFL betting game for both teams at the new Meadowlands Stadium. Kick-off is set for 7:05pm EST and the game can be seen live on the NFL Network.

New York has gone 2-5 ATS in preseason since last year.

The Giants have had a revolving door lineup, even by preseason standards, as injuries have plagued the team. There was no more important injury than the one sustained by starting quarterback Eli Manning against the Jets as he left the game bleeding from his head and needing stitches. Backup QB Jim Sorgi hurt his shoulder in the game as well and the offensive line has been hit especially hard. The starting unit has not had a single preseason series of action together but Manning remains confident. “I don’t think we’re far behind, actually,” said Manning. “I think (injuries) are a part of training camp every year. I think we have a veteran group, especially up front.”
