Jevon Holland's end zone pick from the 7 sinks Titans +3 in a 12-7 game

Mea culpa

Every word of the case was right and it still lost. The Giants did not score a touchdown. Dominic Zvada kicked all 12 of their points, 4-for-4. Jameis Winston threw for 118 yards on 22 attempts and took three sacks. My read was that New York was laying a field goal with a backup in a game the market kept shrinking, and 19 total points confirmed it. Tennessee could not score either, and Jevon Holland intercepted Cam Ward in the end zone on first-and-goal from the 7 with 17 seconds left. Lost by two.

loss Giants 12, Titans 7

The pick: Titans +3 at Giants

The case before kickoff

The Giants opened -6 and are down to -3 after Jaxson Dart's MRI came back far worse than the initial MCL diagnosis, with reported meniscus and PCL damage that will need season-ending surgery. Jameis Winston takes over an offense that just got outgained by 299 yards in Los Angeles. The market has moved three points, which is the standard quarterback adjustment, but it still has New York laying a field goal with a backup and a total of 39.5, down from 43. Tennessee is 0-2 and Cam Ward has been bad, but they hung with Philadelphia into the fourth last week and rookie Anthony Hill Jr. led the defense with 10 tackles. Brian Burns is also dealing with a low ankle sprain for New York.
