What a difference a week makes. 

The New York Giants are still -3.5 home favorites despite losing No. 1 quarterback Jaxson Dart ahead of their Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 27.

My early Titans vs. Giants predictions and NFL picks expect Tennessee to cover the number in a low-scoring bout.

Early Titans vs Giants spread pick: Titans +3.5

Kalshi probability: 53%

I value the gap between New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee) and backup Jameis Winston as 2.5 points, and for this particular matchup against the Tennessee Titans it could be closer to 3.

Tennessee offensive coordinator Brian Daboll spent the past four seasons as the New York head coach, so he drafted, developed, and coached a massive chunk of the current Giants roster, including Winston. 

This familiarity gives head coach Robert Saleh and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley an immense analytical intel edge, which carries even more weight with New York playing on a short week.

There hasn't been enough of a market adjustment to reflect the loss of Dart, so I lean to taking the points with Tennessee.

Early Titans vs Giants total pick: Under 40.5

Kalshi probability: 51%

While the Giants haven’t been efficient on defense and have major question marks in the secondary, after facing the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams the past two weeks, the Titans and QB Cam Ward are a massive downtick in class for New York.

Additionally, the New York front seven is formidable and will give the Tennessee offensive line, Ward and the rushing attack trouble.

Similarly, I’m anticipating Saleh and Bradley to prepare the rebuilt Tennessee defense to stall enough New York drives to keep this total Under the number.

There's a clear recipe for a field-position battle at MetLife Stadium, especially if both offenses play conservatively in an attempt to protect the football.

If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
