New York Giants 2014 Season Win Total Outlook & Projection:
2014 New York Giants Las Vegas Season Win Total Line;
As of this writing, oddsmakers have the 2014
regular
season win total betting line
for the New York Giants set at 7.5 wins…
This represents a drop of between 1 & 1.5 wins compared to last season’s line which bounced between
8.5 & 9 wins (closing at 8.5 wins)
which the Giants went under with a record of (7-9).
Factors working against this year’s win total line
include weaker ratings at running back, the receiving department, offensive line, (and yes) quarterback
compared to the same time entering last season.
On the plus side the Giants have stronger ratings at defensive line, linebacker, and in the secondary
compared to the same time entering last season.
Another plus is the Giants face one of the lighter strenghts of schedules in 2014 with the
overall winning percentage of their opponents checking in at .465 in the prior season’s campaign.
Schedule Analysis:
In 2014 the Giants will play 5 games versus teams that made the postseason
a year ago. This is a reduction of 1 such matchup compared to last season;
Other potentially competitive matchups for the Giants in their current state include;
@Detroit in week 1, Arizona in week 2, @Washington in week 4, Atlanta in week 5, @Dallas in week 7,
Dallas in week 12, @Tennessee in week 14, and @St. Louis in week 16.
Record Projection:
In 2014 we project the Giants to go (6-10), falling short of the Las Vegas season win total
of 7.5 wins… While the Giants’ defense looks poised to improve upon last season, the offense appears like
it could take another step backward.
There’s certainly upside to this projection if Manning and Cruz can get back to their A game
or the Giants find a running game.
