Giants vs. Rams: Expert picks and player props
Experts break down Monday Night Football with spread picks, running back bets, and touchdown predictions.
In brief
Experts break down Monday Night Football with spread picks, running back bets, and touchdown predictions. The Rams are favored at minus 6.5 points, but look for Giants receiver Malik Nabers and Rams tight end Isaiah Likely to produce in the passing game. Originally reported by CBS Sports.
Giants upset Cowboys, Rams stumble
New York dominated Dallas in Week 1 under John Harbaugh, while the Rams, preseason Super Bowl favorites, lost badly to San Francisco in Australia.
Rams favored at minus 6.5
Despite heavy favorites struggling in Week 2, the Rams are the right side under seven points. Aaron Donald will play limited snaps but should make an impact.
Nacua out, Adams steps up
Rams receiver Puka Nacua is inactive Monday night. Davante Adams should see increased targets and is a strong bet at minus 120 for an anytime touchdown.
Nabers over 5.5 receptions
The Giants receiver had six catches on nine targets in Week 1 despite recovering from a torn ACL. Expect more production in the second half if the Giants fall behind.
“Coming off a torn ACL, he still had six catches on nine targets against the Cowboys.”
Blake Corum over 10.5 carries
The Rams running back will see a 60-40 time share with Kyren Williams. If Los Angeles builds a lead, Sean McVay will feed Corum, including short-yardage opportunities.
Isaiah Likely at plus 290
The Ravens tight end scored twice last week and is a breakout candidate. He had eight targets and eight catches, and the Giants may throw heavily in the second half.
“Isaiah Likely scored twice last week and is clearly a breakout candidate this season.”
The takeaway
The Rams are favored at minus 6.5 points, but look for Giants receiver Malik Nabers and Rams tight end Isaiah Likely to produce in the passing game.
