The NFL’s International Series concludes in Week 10 with the Giants and Panthers set to face off at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
A chance to get away from American soil might not be the worst thing for two teams struggling mightily with identical records at 2-7.
However, despite their commonality, the Giants enter this game as 6.5-point favorites after opening at -3.5.
Though Big Blue’s Daniel Jones is the more polished of the two quarterbacks in this matchup, laying almost a touchdown in this spot feels like a stretch.
Instead, a better play would be to utilize a player prop to isolate this Panthers defense that has struggled mightily against the pass, ranking 31st in the FTN’s DVOA metric.
Giants rookie Malik Nabers could be in line for a big performance, especially considering they’ll be without fellow wide receiver Darius Slayton due to a concussion.
Nabers leads the team in targets (84) despite already missing two games.
His reception prop is available at 6.5, and he’s exceeded this number in five of his seven games this season.
Betting on the NFL?
In the two games when he failed to record seven catches, he faced the Vikings and Eagles, two teams ranked in the top nine for pass defense.
With the Panthers well short of that level of quality, I expect Nabers to have another heavy workload and finish with seven or more catches.
The play: Malik Nabers over 6.5 receptions (-125 at FanDuel)
