The Broncos travel east to face the New York Giants on Sunday in the first week of the 2021 NFL season. After a discouraging run in 2020 that left Denver with a 5-11 record and last place in the AFC West, the team is looking to turn things around. Despite receiving criticism from the public, Vic Fangio will try to bring the team back on pace in his third year as head coach. Meanwhile, the Giants finished last season with 6 wins and 10 losses, but will have their best player back after missing most of the 2020 campaign.

With all that said, NitroBetting gives you a close look at the game in this Broncos vs. Giants preview.

Why Bet on the Denver Broncos?

The Denver Broncos start fresh this season and are looking to return to playoff contention since winning the Super Bowl in 2015. There’s no shortage of talent on this team, but the lack of consistency is holding the team back. On the offensive side, Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and Noah Fant form a solid group of receivers, while Melvin Gordin III concluded each of the last five seasons with 1,000 rushing yards. Orchestrating the offense is Teddy Bridgewater, who was appointed the team’s starting quarterback for the 2021 season.

On defense, we look at an improving Bradley Chubb at the linebacker position. The secondary highlights Kyle Fuller, Justin Simmons, and Kareem Jackson. Von Miller also adds more experience to the unit. There’s more than enough in the tank for Denver. All the team needs is a solid quarterback that brings the offense together and provides an attacking threat in the coming weeks. Since finishing the preseason undefeated, many look forward to a new and improved Broncos team.

Why Bet on the New York Giants?

It’s been a while since we’ve seen the New York Giants take part in the playoffs. The last time they appeared in the postseason was in 2016, and it’s been a decade since the Giants won the Super Bowl. After a busy offseason that saw huge acquisitions, we might just see the drought end this season. The lineup is improved by top-caliber players like Kenny Golladay, Devontae Booker, Kyle Rudolph, and Adoree’ Jackson.

Of course, the Giants’ success will rely heavily on the improvement of quarterback Daniel Jones and on the play of running back Saquon Barkley. If Jones can be more efficient and Barkley returns to Pro Bowl level, the offensive unit packs a bigger punch.

There’s no guarantee that the Giants will deliver better results if Jones can’t deliver. And looking at the defense, New York can still fine-tune the group. Nonetheless, this team can surprise everyone this season, but several areas of the group leave unanswered questions.

Broncos vs. Giants Expert Betting Predictions

Both the Giants and the Broncos missed the playoffs last season by miles. This is not going to be the most exciting game to watch in Week 1, but it should be intriguing enough to warrant our attention. Expect a low-scoring game, considering that these two teams still look unconvincing after a season in which they both finished in the bottom half of the league in terms of turnovers. It could come down to which team will have the better rushing attack, which could be the Giants, as they have Barkley. However, he might take a bit more time getting back into his rhythm after such a long layoff. Plus, Melvin Gordon isn’t too shabby of a running back either.
