Certainly, the New England Patriots made undeniable progress in 2021. Head coach Bill Belichick’s team improved from a 7-9 record in 2020 to 10-7 last year. The big NFL betting odds difference was first round draft choice Mac Jones. To show, Jones took over as the starting quarterback and proved a studious professional. Meanwhile, the New York Giants experiment with head coach Joe Judge is over. Joe was judged to be in over his head. Following a 4-13 landslide in 2021, Judge was fired. The highly respected former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is in his place.

New York Giants Team Overview
At the onset of Daboll’s arrival comes a significant increase in fan enthusiasm and gambling expectations. First task for Daboll will be to determine if Daniel Jones can effectively play quarterback at an NFL level. Jones has been a source of controversy in his Giants career. Since New York made him the 6th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, he’s taken heat.
Jones has not progressed sufficiently in his time with New York. But there is debate about whether that is his fault or a failure by the Giants. Giants co-owner John-Mara said Big Blue has not given Jones enough support. If anyone can turn around the career path of Mac Jones, it is Daboll.
Because of their recent run of futility, the Giants are not a desirable product for national TV games. Thursday’s game at New England will be one of their few feature games in 2022. Consider that New York’s only scheduled prime time appearance in the regular season is a week three Monday Night home game. Specifically, the Giants will face the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants also have a week five morning game from Europe against the Green Bay Packers.
New England Patriots Team Overview
At the beginning of the season is a significant loss for New England. Last year tutoring Mac Jones was offensive coordinator Josh McDaniel.
