Injury Update
Former NFL rushing champion Derrick Henry is fully healthy and ready to take the 2022 season by storm, as is his counterpart with the Giants, running back Saquon Barkley.
Giants vs. Titans Betting Preview
Even as the defending division champions, and last year’s number one seed in the AFC, NFL odds have the Titans finishing behind the Colts in the AFC South.
The NFL schedule is kind to Tennessee – they get to begin the season at home against the Giants. And even with the new coaching staff in New York, the better NFL pick is Tennessee.
The Titans season came to an end last year at the hands of eventual AFC Champion Cincinnati. But the mid-season injury to Derrick Henry is what really sunk Tennessee. It also robbed NFL stats geeks of seeing a second consecutive 2,000-yard season.
For the Giants, former Buffalo Bills offensive genius, Brian Daboll, is the new head coach. And his offensive coordinator is the former quarterback coach for Patrick Mahomes.
Rivalry History
Playing in different conferences, the Giants and Titans only meet once every four years. In 2018 the Titans won 17-0. In 2014 it was the Giants on top, 36-7.
And in 2010, the Titans won 29-10. Tennessee also won the three meetings before that game in 2006, 2002, and 2000. The all-time series is tied 6-6, and the Giants have outscored the Oilers/Titans 239-219.
Matchup Trends
There is little to glean from that 2018 game between the New York Giants and Titans when trying to break down this matchup, so let’s look at how each team finished 2021.
The Titans finished their season as AFC South champions and the top seed in the AFC playoffs but lost to the Bengals in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Tennessee’s defensive line starred in that game, and getting after Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is something they will do very well.
As for New York’s end to the 2021 season, it closed with a whimper. They lost their final six games of the season and weren’t close to winning any of the six. The average score in the Giants close to 2021 was 27-9.
NFL teams live and die with their starting quarterback, and the Giants died a painful death with Jones out injured for those six games.
Venue Information
The Tennessee Titans play their home games at Nissan Stadium, located on downtown Nashville’s banks of the Cumberland River. The Titans have been excellent at home over the years, winning the first 13 games they played in the stadium when it first opened in 1999. In 2021 Tennessee was 7-2 when playing at home.
Betting Tips for New York Giants vs. Tennessee Titans
Looking at the most relevant Giants vs. Titans stats from 2021, the Titans finished the season as the fifth-best rushing team in the NFL, and that was with Derrick Henry missing half of the season.
As the Giants worked Saquon Barkley back into their lineup following his injury, they ranked just 24th as a team. Fans in New York are excited about new head coach Brian Daboll, and there is really nowhere for him to go but up. T
he Giants finished 2021 as the 31st ranked scoring team in the NFL, only beating the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tennessee was more than nine points better per game – 24.6 vs. 15.2 – and they ranked 15th.
When looking at the NFL odds on how the final NFL standings will shake out, the pick is for the Titans to finish second in their division while the Giants will finish last. That makes the Titans an early 6.5-point favorite, which might feel a little low at home.
