The Tennessee Titans were the No. 1 seed in the AFC a year ago, and now they'll try to replicate the same success in 2022.

Their campaign will begin with an interconference matchup with the New York Giants, who will enter a new era under rookie head coach, Brian Daboll.

Let's take a look at my three favorite prop bets for this Week 1 showdown. All odds listed below are via FanDuel Sportsbook.

Giants vs. Titans Prop Bets

  • Derrick Henry UNDER 98.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
  • Daniel Jones OVER 230.5 Passing Yards (-110)
  • Sterling Shepard Anytime TD +380

Derrick Henry UNDER 98.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Any football fan worth their salt knows that you can't give a running back 30 carries and game year-after-year and expect him to remain healthy and keep up the same level of production. Well, the writing is on the wall for Derrick Henry. Sure, he averaged 117.1 yards per game last season, but he averaged only 4.3 yards per carry, 1.1 yards per carry fewer than what he averaged in 2020.

I'm going to fade Henry this season, and it starts in Week 1 against the Giants.

Daniel Jones OVER 230.5 Passing Yards (-110)

The Giants new head coach, Brian Daboll, will breath some life into this offense. He was the mastermind behind the Bills offense and Josh Allen's production over the past few seasons was a result of that.

Jones will benefit from this offensive scheme, and now that his receivers enter the season healthy, I expect him to surpass this total in Week 1.

Sterling Shepard Anytime TD +380

Sterling Shepard returns to the lineup for the Giants, and he'll give New York a huge boost on offense. He instantly becomes a good dark horse bet to find the end zone at +380.

The Titans lack of depth is an issue for them on defense, so looking at the third option on offense for the Giants is a sneaky good play.
