G-Men Look To End Four-Game Slide
The NFL world didn’t know who Nick Mullens was until last Thursday night. Now that Vegas knows, they’re inclined to jump on the second-year quarterback’s bandwagon.
The New York Giants are listed as +3 underdogs on the road at Levi’s Stadium vs. the San Francisco 49ers.
The New York Giants (1-7) have lost their past five games, with their most recent defeat happening back in Week 8 in a 20-13 loss to the Washington Redskins at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants offense was stagnant and bottled up by the Redskins as they went 2-for-14 on third down while averaging 4.9 yards per pass. Eli Manning also threw two interceptions as New York’s offense wasted a strong effort by their defense once again.
The San Francisco 49ers (2-7) are coming off a 34-3 victory over the Oakland Raiders last Thursday night at Levi’s Stadium as they snapped a six-game losing streak.
Not knowing who their starter would be before the game, Kyle Shanahan went with Nick Mullens at quarterback for an injured C.J. Beathard, and it would be a night to remember for Mullens.
The undrafted second-year quarterback torched the Oakland Raiders for 262 passing yards and three touchdown passes in an electric NFL debut.
San Francisco also dominated the game in the trenches, recording seven sacks on Raiders quarterback Derek Carr while rushing for 143 rushing yards on offense.
The former is terrible news for the G-Men, who’s offensive line could be in for a horrible night if the 49ers pass rush can resemble anything like what we saw last Thursday.
The San Francisco 49ers ended a winless start last season with a 31-21 win over the New York Giants back in Week 10 last season.
C.J. Beathard dissected the Giants defense for 288 passing yards and two touchdowns with an interception in the win as the Giants allowed three pass plays of +40 yards in the loss.
Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard would have a huge day in the loss as he finished with 11 receptions for a career-high 142 receiving yards.
