• The San Francisco 49ers are 10-point home favorites over the New York Giants in the NFL Week 3 TNF game on Thursday, September 21
• San Francisco is seeking to start the season 3-0 straight up for the ninth time in franchise history and first since 2019
• The Giants are 12-6 against the spread in their last 18 games but are they a good bet in our Giants vs 49ers picks for TNF?

The concern if you’re the New York Giants (1-1, 0-2 ATS) is that so far during the season, the San Francisco 49ers (2-0, 1-1 ATS) are looking like the team to beat in the NFL. The Niners are unbeaten and they haven’t even played a home game yet. They’re big favorites in the Giants vs 49ers odds here.

The Giants, meanwhile, took six quarters to just get on the scoreboard. They got shutout at home by the Dallas Cowboys and needed a huge second-half rally to beat the winless Arizona Cardinals. To top it off, they’ll be on the West Coast minus their biggest playmaker, RB Saquon Barkley.

The surprise then isn’t that the 49ers are set by oddsmakers as 10-point home favorites in the Giants vs 49ers picks. It’s that the number has shortened from an opening line of San Francisco -10.5. The 49ers are 7-0 against the spread in their last seven home games.

Let’s look deeper into the Giants vs 49ers odds and offer you our prediction for this Week 3 showdown of NFC rivals.

Giants vs 49ers Injury Report

Barkley (ankle) is listed as questionable, but every indication is that he won’t be playing for the next 2-3 weeks. LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), LG Ben Bredeson (concussion), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), RILB Micah McFadden (neck) and SLB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) are also questionable for New York.

For the 49ers, WR Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) is questionable. He’s caught 11 passes in two games for a 15.6-yard average and two TDs.

Life Without Saquon Deadly for Giants

Last season as the Giants made the NFL playoffs, Barkley had 352 touches. That was the third-most of any NFL player. Through two games this season, he was on pace for 323 touches. It’s not a stretch to say the offense runs through him.

With double threat Barkley in his backfield, Giants QB Daniel Jones has thrown for 46 TDs against 20 interceptions. Minus Barkley, that ratio drops to 16:17. Jones shows a passer rating of 100.1 on play action calls. It slips to 56.8 on straight drop backs.

Everything Clicking for San Francisco

In their season opener at Pittsburgh, the 49ers steamrolled the Steelers 30-7. Last week on the road to face the Rams, even without the team bringing their A game, the Niners found a way to outlast a game squad from LA.

There are historic numbers at work for San Francisco right now. It’s the ninth time the team has opened a season 2-0. In six of the previous eight occasions, the 49ers made the playoffs. The last time it happened in 2019, they went to the Super Bowl.

They’ve also scored 30 or more points in eight of the 11 games since Brock Purdy took over as San Francisco’s QB1.

Giants vs 49ers Prediction

Facing a short week, the Giants were opting to stay in Arizona and practice in preparation for this game. However, nothing can prepare them for facing this San Francisco juggernaut minus Barkley. New York has been outscored 46-0 in the first half this season. Do that against the 49ers and it’s going to get ugly fast.

Then you factor in the potential to be missing 40% of his offensive line against what was the NFL’s best defense last season, and it figures to be a long night for Giants QB Jones.
