With Sterling Shepard out and Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram looking iffy to play, the Giants are listed as 16¹/u2082-point underdogs at most sportsbooks in Las Vegas and New Jersey for Thursday night’s game against the Patriots in Foxborough, Mass.
The Patriots are 5-0, winning by an average score of 31-7. They are coming off a 33-7 victory at Washington in Week 5, when Pat Shurmur’s team lost at home to Minnesota, 28-10, to fall to 2-3.
Nick Bogdanovich, director of trading for William Hill, said the line carries the expectation Barkley will not play.
