Bookmaker drops Giants outlook after Brian Daboll makes Tommy DeVito starter

The Giants have given up on Daniel Jones, and oddsmakers are following suit.

The Giants, who fell to an embarrassing 2-8 record, benched their starting quarterback in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito, who lit up Big Blue last season.

Oddsmakers have moved the line negative for the Giants and further in favor of the Buccaneers, but at least one bookmaker isn't entirely sure how much this will affect the actual game.

“This game started at Giants +3 and with the news that Tommy DeVito would start, we moved to Giants +5,” DraftKings' director of sports operations told the Post. “The two-point difference is based on the added experience of Daniel Jones, but we don't see a huge difference. DeVito had some good moments last year, so we're happy with the adjustment here. ”

DeVito took over as the Giants' manager last year when Jones went down with a neck injury and went 3-3 as a starter, giving New York a chance to draft one of the NFL Draft's top quarterbacks, Jaden Daniels or Drake Maye. I stole it.

The two rookie starters are making waves as elite young signal-callers, giving the franchise plenty of reason to be optimistic.

Washington sits in second place in the NFC East with a 7-4 record after going just 4-13 last year.

New England is also considered the next best prospect after Maye, despite going 3-8 this year after finishing the 2023 season with a 4-13 record.

The Giants are hoping for similar success this offseason as they look into potentially drafting a new quarterback.

Jones will likely be waived after this season and look to settle in with his new team after being drafted by New York in 2019.
