The Giants are one of the most pleasant surprises of the season, out to a 4-1 start with their most recent win coming across the pond against the Packers in London.

The team returns home without a bye week to face one of the most dominant players in the league this season, Lamar Jackson, who has the Ravens offense humming at an elite level. Can former Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale scheme up a way to slow down Jackson?

Here are three ways to bet props in this battle of playoff hopefuls:

3 Best Prop Bets for Ravens vs. Giants

  • Lamar Jackson OVER 208.5 Passing Yards (-115)
  • Saquon Barkley OVER 24.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
  • Daniel Jones UNDER 36.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Lamar Jackson OVER 208.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Jackson has been subdued in the passing game of late, he hasn't gone over 200 passing yards the past two weeks, but I believe he is in line for a strong outing against his former DC. Martindale is a blitz heavy DC that Jackson has plenty of experience playing against in practice. However, Jackson has thrived against the blitz.

Jackson has had a top five time to throw rate, per NFL Next Gen Stats, and has been blitzed at a top five rate this season. He will be facing a dreary Giants defense that is battling injuries all over and is traveling back from London. I expect the Ravens offensive line to hold up and give Jackson time to make plays through the air.

Martindale will scheme up a strong defensive game plan, but this number has drifted too low after Jackson played a rock fight against a division foe last week in Cincinnati and played in a monsoon against the Bills the week before.

Saquon Barkley OVER 24.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Barkley has gone over this number in three of five games during a resurgent 2022 campaign for the former No. 2 overall pick, and I think this matchup suits him well. The Ravens defense has been good keeping things underneath, right around league average in terms of EPA per dropback, but they do allow successful plays at the seventh highest clip.

The Giants are down nearly all of their top receivers heading into Week 6, which will put the onus on Barkley to make plays in the passing game. Swing passes will be there often for Barkley, who has the capability of ripping this off on one play.

Daniel Jones UNDER 36.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Jones got over this number last week on 10 carries, rushing for 37 yards, despite reports that he won't play with a sprained ankle. However, I'm going to fade him at this number against a stout Ravens rush defense that is above league average in success rate.

While Jones cleared 60 yards the two weeks prior, he opened the season with rush totals of 25 and 21, respectively. I'm going to bank on some regression on Sunday.
