<p>The Denver Broncos take on the New York Giants this Sunday afternoon, as Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season brings more interesting picks and markets to choose from, so we’ve prepared the best Broncos vs. Giants betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<p>Denver opened as a slight 3-point road fave for this interleague showdown at MetLife Stadium. The Broncos meet the Giants for the first time since 2017, and Denver is 3-2 straight up and 4-1 ATS over their last five head-to-head duels.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Broncos believe in Teddy B&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The last year was tough for the injury-depleted Broncos who went 5-11 and finished bottom of the AFC West. In his second NFL season, Drew Lock has struggled for most of the time, completing just 57.3 percent of his passing attempts for 2933 yards and 16 touchdowns in 13 apps. Lock also had a whopping 15 interceptions and got sacked 19 times, so the Broncos acquired Teddy Bridgewater in the offseason.</p>



<p>Teddy B will get the nod in Week 1 after a solid 2020 campaign with the Carolina Panthers. He had 3733 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 11 picks in 15 games while completing 69.1 percent of his passing attempts. Bridgewater is not a top-tier QB, but he could be the right choice for the Broncos’ offense that owns solid receiving corps.</p>



<p>Denver was scoring only 20.2 points per game in 2020 (28<sup>th</sup> in the NFL) on 335.6 total yards (23<sup>rd</sup>). The Broncos were yielding 27.9 points in a return (25<sup>th</sup>), but it’s fair to say that their defensive performance was massively affected by injuries.</p>



<h2><strong>The Giants hope for a breakthrough season&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The New York Giants went 6-10 last season and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year, as the 7-9 Washington Football Team clinched the NFC East title. That tells a lot about both NY Giants and NFC East, but without Saquon Barkley, who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2, the Giants had the second-lowest scoring offense in football.</p>



<p>New York was averaging a paltry 17.5 points per game in 2021. In his second season with the big boys, Daniel Jones proved he’s a turnover machine, recording 10 interceptions and 11 fumbles in 14 appearances. Jones also completed 62.5 percent of his passing attempts for 2943 yards and 11 touchdowns while adding 65 totes for 423 yards and a TD.</p>



<p>At least, the Giants had a solid 2020 season on the defensive end, allowing 22.3 points per game (9<sup>th</sup> in the NFL) on 349.3 total yards (12<sup>th</sup>). Joe Judge will demand more in his second season as the Giants head coach, and New York certainly has an intriguing defensive core.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Denver:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-6 ATS in the last nine games played in September&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>NY Giants:</strong></p>



<ul><li>N/A</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-denver-broncos-vs-new-york-giants-pick"><strong>Denver Broncos vs. New York Giants Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Giants have some injury problems, and TE Evan Engram is likely out, but Saquon Barkley should play, as well as WR Kenny Golladay. Daniel Jones will have to take good care of the ball, as Sunday’s clash should be decided down the stretch.</p>



<p>I’m looking for a hard-fought battle, as both teams will lean on their defense. Hereof, with three points on the table, I’m backing the Giants to cover in front of the home fans. Both teams have a lot to prove in 2021, especially on the offensive side of the ball, so this game could easily go either way.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take New York Giants +3.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>After a disappointing 2020 season, the Broncos’ D should be much better this term. The Giants will look to improve, too, while both head coaches prefer to lean on a tough defense. Hereof, betting on the under is a logical move despite a 42-point line.</p>



<p>The under has hit in the Giants’ last seven games overall. It is 5-1 in the Giants’ previous six outings at home and 4-1 in their last five contests played in Week 1.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 42.0 points at -110</strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quarter-Final Matches</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Christopher Eubanks (+161) vs. Aleksander Vukic (-186)</h3>



<p>It hasn’t been a great season for Eubanks, who notably surprised the tennis world last year with his unexpected quarter-final run at Wimbledon. He is just 6-17 this season, although he is 3-4 on grass courts. Still, Vukic is 5-2 in his career against Eubanks, 10-6 this season on grass, and has been the more consistent player this season. He also has consecutive straight-set victories and should be feeling good about his game ahead of Friday’s quarter-final.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Marcos Giron (-174) vs. Alex Bolt (+154)</h3>



<p>It’s probably best to once again take the favorite in this matchup. Giron is a top-50 ranked player who is 2-1 in his career against Bolt, a player ranked well outside of the top-200. Giron is 17-18 this season, including 6-4 on grass, while Bolt is 40-14, including 21-3 on grass. Those stats are incredibly deceiving, however, as Bolt has primarily been playing in Challenger events. He has four finals appearances.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semi-Final</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Reilly Opelka (+115) vs. Alex Michelsen (-160)</h3>



<p>Surprisingly, Opelka and Michelsen have never played each other. They’ll meet for the first time on Saturday in the semi-finals. Michelsen is an up-and-coming 19-year-old American who is 22-22 this season, while Opelka is a former top-20 player now ranked outside of the top-500 in large part due to injuries. He played just once last year and three matches this season. Interestingly, he has won each of those matches, including three on grass. He has a strong service game that could give Michelsen fits. I like Opelka in a slight upset here.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Finals Prediction</h2>



<p>Assuming he wins his quarter-final, Vukic is a good <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/">bet</a> to win the tournament. He has been the best player through his first two matches and is a strong grass court player.</p>

The National Football League (NFL) is easily the most popular sport in the United States, especially when it comes to betting. NFL betting puts up the biggest numbers every single year, and bettors are always looking for new betting options.

The NFL was founded all the way back in 1920 in Canton, Ohio, and that is where the Hall of Fame is located to this day. There were only a handful of teams in the league when it first started, but it didn’t take long for the league to grow.

There are now 32 teams in the NFL, and the league is broken up into two conferences and eight total divisions. Since the league just continues to be more and more popular, the league has added an extra regular season game for each team to play in.

NFL teams now play 17 total regular season games, and then the top seven teams in each conference advance to the postseason. The NFL regular season begins in September, and the Super Bowl is now played during the month of February.

When it comes to the NFL, the Super Bowl is the event that draws the most betting attention. This league isn’t going away anytime soon, and it’s actually started to become more of an international competition.

This article will not only cover the best NFL betting sites &amp; sportsbooks, but will also provide some tips on how to bet on the NFL.
<h3>Where to bet on NFL</h3>
Knowing where to find the best NFL sportsbooks is a big key if you want to have some success when wagering on this sport. Here are six of the best NFL sportsbooks to use, and all of them are going to be a little bit different.
