• Opening total: Over/Under 36.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: The Saints are -5.5 (-115), just a juice adjustment off their Friday number at BetMGM (see below update). The Giants are actually landing 76% of spread bets/59% of spread money.

BetMGM's total is up a tick since Friday, from 39 to 39.5. Ticket count is almost 4/1 and money 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM pegged New Orleans a 6-point favorite to open and bottomed out Tuesday at Saints -4.5. But that was followed within a few hours by moves to Saints -5.5/-6. Late this morning, New Orleans dipped to -5 (-120), and the line is now Saints -5.5 (-105).

New York is landing 83% of spread bets/62% of spread money. Early moneyline action is heavily tilted toward the Giants, at 88% of bets/94% of money.

The total opened at 36.5 Sunday and by Wednesday climbed to 39, where it remains today. The Over is taking 67% of tickets/66% of money.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET TUESDAY: New York (5-8 SU/5-7-1 ATS) is actually on a surprising 3-0 SU and ATS streak, in the wake of a Monday night upset. The Giants got a final-seconds field goal to beat Green Bay 24-22 catching 5.5 points at home.

However, The SuperBook made no subsequent adjustment in the Giants-Saints line. New Orleans remains at the Sunday opener of -6. But the total did climb this morning, from 36.5 to 37, then to 38.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New Orleans (6-7 SU/3-9-1 ATS) is part of a three-team logjam atop the sorry NFC South. The Saints breezed by Carolina 28-6 giving 5.5 points at home in Week 14.

New York (4-8 SU/4-7-1 ATS) still has a Week 14 home date with Green Bay, on Monday night.

Giants vs Saints Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

Books are still treating the Saints like a quality team, and that just doesn't pass the smell test. New Orleans has not lived up to expectations even with the softest schedule in the league, and the Saints have fallen apart with all the injuries on both sides of the ball.

They rank 30th in DVOA over the last five weeks, still bottom 10 on offense like the rest of the season but a shocking 30th on defense, where they've been outstanding for so many years under Dennis Allen. The Giants actually rank around league average during that stretch both defensively and overall.

Wink Martindale's aggressive defense should give Derek Carr problems, and Tommy DeVito may be able to move the ball with both his arm and his legs. The Saints are just 2-8-1 ATS as favorites this season and have lost six of those games. Carr is 19-37-1 ATS (34%) as a favorite for his career, and Allen is 6-16-1 ATS (27%) when favored.

Pick: Giants +6
