The New York Giants (5-1) visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-4) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below we analyze the lines of Tipico Sportsbook around the Giants vs. Jaguars Oddsand make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Jaguars are on a 3-game slide, which started in the monsoon in Philadelphia and continued last week in a 34-27 loss at Indianapolis. As the Jaguars crumbled after a 14-3 lead to lose to the Colts, it can’t be blamed on the QB Trevor Lawrence.
Lawrence was 20 for 22 passing for a completion rate of 91%. Although he only passed for 165 yards and 1 TD, he didn’t throw a pick. The real culprit was the defense, which was unable to stop a missing Colts team, RB star Jonathan Taylor and his replacement at Nyheim Hines. Sunday will be another test for the Jaguars against the Giants and the RB Saquon Barkley.
Barkley is reborn this season with New York. In the last 2 games – wins over the Ravens and Packers – the Penn State product has rushed for a combined 153 yards and 2 touchdowns on 35 carries. He also caught 6 of 9 targets during that time. His ability to be effective against the No. 3 Jaguars leading defense (allowing 89.3 yards per game) will be key to improving the Giants to 6-1.
With Jacksonville and New York both looking to establish the run, this game should be fast-paced and low-scoring. For those who aspire to run first, run second, and move on to third, this will be your game of the week.

Prediction
Giants 27, Jaguars 20
Moneyline
NEW YORK (+140) is the game here.
Not only are the Giants 5-1, but the Jaguars are coming off 3 straight losses.
While many think the Giants are a bit lucky, they still win with Barkley and QB Daniel Jones. This will continue on Sunday as the Giants defense ramps up and can stop RB’s run game james robinson and Jaguars.
Although the Jaguars are better under coach Doug Pederson, they’re just not there yet.
NEW YORK (+140) is my FAVORITE BET in this game.
Against the spread
GIANT BET +3.5 (-125).
I love the Giants in this game. While I suggested their ML (+140) as my FAVORITE GAME, if it makes you nervous, take the 3.5 points. Or split your 2 bets, being the ML and the spread.
Barkley has been great so far this season and with rookie LB Kayvon Thibodeaux back and healthy delivering a passing rush, the Giants have only gotten better as the season progresses.
More less
BEND 43.5 (-108).
This game has physics play first everywhere. With the Giants and Jaguars both looking to feed their running backs, the points will have to come on sustained long drives. This would tend to lead to the Under. But my feeling is that both teams will be able to do it extremely well.
Both rushing attacks have successfully started this season and it will continue on Sunday. It’s going to be a bitter nail, but the OVER 4235 (-108) hits here.
