Giants enter Week 15 with biggest home underdog spread in 58 years

The New York Giants are having a bad season. So much so that fans let owner John Mara know it with a plane on Sunday.

After yet another disappointing loss, clinched by a blocked last-second field goal, the team is facing another stiff challenge in Week 15, and the sportsbooks are setting historic odds for it.

According to ESPN Bet, New York is currently entering its contest with the Baltimore Ravens as 14.5-point underdogs at home.

If that line holds until Sunday, it would be the team's largest since 1966 against the St. Louis Cardinals (+14.5).

The Giants are currently +14.5 home underdogs vs. the Ravens in Week 15, their largest since 1966 (+14.5 vs. Cardinals).

Even if it were to slide back to 14 points, it would still be the largest home underdog role New York has owned since that same season, but against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants only scored 11 points Sunday against the New Orleans Saints and are averaging just 14.9 per game, the worst in the NFL.

Baltimore is averaging 29.5 points per game, third-best in the league, and boasts multiple offensive weapons that will overbear New York's defense - despite it being ranked 19th overall entering Week 14.

Even with a weapon like rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers in the lineup, there's no way New York's offense will be able to keep up with Baltimore.

The funny thing is that quarterback Lamar Jackson has lost only two times to NFC teams. The most recent was against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.

The first time was to New York in 2022, but history is unlikely to repeat itself this time, and Vegas is well aware of it.
