The New York Giants are winless but since they are playing in the awful NFC East division, they still have a big chance despite a 0-3 start. They will try again to score their first win of the season when they meet the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood in Week 4. The Rams are looking to avoid suffering back-to-back losses.
The Giants got their teeth punched inside in Week 3, as they lost to the San Francisco 49ers at home, 36-9. There was barely anything good that the Giants did in that game, with the offense in shambles and the defense unable to stop the bleeding. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones passed for just 179 yards and threw a touchdown on 17-of-32 completions. He and wide receiver Darius Slayton each lost a fumble as well. But the Giants will have to keep throwing the ball, especially with Saquon Barkley out for the season. Newly signed running back Devonta Freeman only had 10 rushing yards on five carries in his debut for the Giants against the 49ers. That said, with more time this time to work with the offense, Freeman could put up a more productive performance against the Rams, who gave up 101 rushing yards and a touchdown to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday. Jones will be throwing against the Rams’ defense that got carved up by the Bills for 311 passing yards.
The Giants are 4-3 against the spread in their last seven games overall.
The Rams suffered their first loss of the season last Sunday against the Bills, 35-32. Down by as many as 25 points in the second half, the Rams mounted a serious comeback that just fell short. Nevertheless, it showed that the Rams are capable of forcing stops when they need to and scoring quickly. Jared Goff had 321 passing yards and two touchdowns and an interception on 23-of-32 pass completions, while the defense got away with an interception, four sacks, and a fumble recovery at the expense of the Bills. The Rams are ninth in the NFL in takeaways per game with 1.7, and they have a shot at improving that number against an error-prone Giants offense that is averaging 2.3 giveaways per contest.
The Rams are 6-3-1 against the spread in their last 10 games as the home team.
