Another week, another top offensive weapon bit by the injury bug for Big Blue. <\/p>\n

This time around, rookie running back Cam Skattebo was the latest name to be added to the IR, as it\u2019s been that type of season for the Giants. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley dissected the Giants\u2019 defense, as New York fell to 2-6 following a lopsided 38-20 defeat to the Eagles.<\/p>\n

It was also a Week 8 to forget for Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers, who were thoroughly outpaced by the Houston Texans. Brock Purdy missed his fourth consecutive game, as the offense struggled against a stout Texans defense. <\/p>\n

San Francisco opened as 3-point betting favorites, with that number moving down a bit to 2.5. However, the public seems to like Brian Daboll\u2019s group as a slim underdog play heading into Sunday\u2019s contest. <\/p>\n

Giants vs 49ers odds, prediction<\/p>\n

Defensively, the Giants should prepare for a steady diet of Christian McCaffrey. New York\u2019s defense has struggled to bottle up opposing backs, ranking 30th in rushing yards allowed (148.9 per game) and surrendering 10 touchdowns on the ground this season. <\/p>\n

The 49ers will get McCaffrey involved in the game plan early and often. The Giants will also be without corners Cor\u2019Dale Flott and Paulson Adebo, which will open up opportunities for George Kittle, Jajuan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne in the passing game.<\/p>\n

While Shanahan and co. may have things covered on offense, the 49ers\u2019 defense has suffered mightily from the absence of All-Pros Fred Warner and Joey Bosa. <\/p>\n

Robert Saleh\u2019s group has only one interception through Week 8 and only seven takeaways in total on the season. Their pass rush has been MIA, with a low-volume 3.32 percent sack rate, as they\u2019ve allowed 229.3 passing yards per contest and a 67.41 percent completion rate to opposing quarterbacks. <\/p>\n

Rookie Jaxson Dart has been off the charts as a starter at home, with a 2-0 record at MetLife Stadium. Dart is posting a rushing line of 24 carries, 115 yards, and 2 touchdowns. In addition, he\u2019s taking care of the football with zero turnovers at home.<\/p>\n

Betting on the NFL? <\/p>\n

With Dart under center, the Giants have excelled in faster starts, scoring in the first quarter of each game he\u2019s been QB1. In both the Chargers and Eagles games, the Ole Miss product capped off a Giants opening drive with a rushing touchdown of 15 yards or more. I expect this trend to continue on Sunday.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m zeroing in on a niche prop market for Dart to have a productive start to this game. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s in a good spot to utilize his legs and accurate arm for some chunk plays against a 49ers\u2019 secondary that like the Giants, can commit costly penalties.<\/p>\n

Dart\u2019s ability to pose as a dual threat will benefit Tyron Tracy Jr. as a rusher. <\/p>\n

Wan\u2019Dale Robinson, Theo Johnson, and Darius Slayton will also need to contribute to help the Ole Miss product keep his unbeaten record at home as a starter alive.<\/p>\n

The Play: Dart \u2013 1st Quarter Alt Passing + Rushing Yards, 50+ (-130, FanDuel<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
