New York Giants Week 1 Starting QB Odds
Daniel Jones is still the heavy favorite to be under center for the New York Giants come Week 1. He’s given -1500 odds, or an implied 93.8% chance to be the team’s Week 1 starter. That said, Tyrod Taylor is given +600 odds, or an implied 14.3% chance to take the starter job.
The Giants are the only team in the NFL who’ve had a specials market added for their players since training camp started. Even the Cleveland Browns don’t have a Week 1 QB market despite Watson’s suspension.
It seems unrealistic that Daniel Jones would get benched before even playing a game for Brian Daboll. That said, the fact that sportsbooks have even created this market is not a good sign for his prospects as the team’s quarterback moving forward. If Tyrod Taylor is under serious consideration to be the Week 1 starter then it could be a long season for the Giants.
