The Giants have ended their 24-game underdog streak.

It’s been more than a season since the Giants were favored in a game, but oddsmakers are telling you just how bad the Carolina Panthers are by making Brian Daboll’s group 4.5-point favorites for Sunday’s neutral-field matchup in Munich, Germany.

This will be the first time the Giants are favored in a game since Week 2 of 2023 when they beat the Cardinals, 31-28, as 4.5-point road favorites.

The Giants initially opened as 5.5-point favorites on FanDuel Sportsbook, but money has since come in on Carolina, pushing the number down.

Barring a nearly unprecedented line movement, the Giants will head to Germany as favorites where they will meet up with Bryce Young and a depleted Panthers squad.

The total for the game is set at a consensus of 41.5 points.

Carolina has traded receivers Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo ahead of the trade deadline as the squad looks to reload for next year.

The Panthers and Giants are both 2-7 and among the worst teams in the NFL, but if DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) tells us anything, the right team is favored.

Betting on the NFL?

DVOA says that the Panthers are the worst team in the NFL, while the Giants are 24th.

These teams aren’t alone in their ineptitude, with eight teams in the NFL having just two wins through Week 9. It’s embarrassing for the NFL that 25 percent of teams are playing that poorly.

Big Blue is coming off a 27-22 loss to the Commanders despite playing well in the second half, while the Panthers picked up a win over the Saints as massive 7.5-point underdogs.
