The Giants are back in New York for their home opener at MetLife Stadium against a team that already had an away game here in Week 1. Who knows? The Bills may just claim the stadium as their own if they come out with a 2-0 record. Although, Bills Mafia likely wouldn’t respond well to that.
Following a 35-17 loss to its NFC East rivals, New York will look to bounce back from its trip to Dallas. The spread stands at 1.5 points in favor of Buffalo, making New York underdogs in its home stadium. In their past three matchups, the Giants have won every time with the most recent victory dating back to October 2015. The Bills have a chance to even up the franchise series at seven wins apiece, though that stat won’t matter much to either team. If second-year QB Josh Allen (DFS salary $5,300) can continue to connect with John Brown ($5,200) like they did last week, combining for 48.3 DKFP, then the Bills’ D ($3,400) will finally have some relief. Speaking of the Bills’ defense, it will certainly have its hands full with Saquon Barkley ($9,200 and most expensive player.) And while Buffalo limited Le’Veon Bell in Week 1 to 68 rushing yards and the New York Jets as a whole to 223 yards (third-fewest allowed last week), Barkley is a completely different beast.
I’m expecting an explosive home-opener from Saquon, but the Bills’ defense will find enough turnovers in the form of interceptions to guide the offense to the end zone. Buffalo covers the spread with a first-career touchdown from Devin Singletary ($4,200.)
