The New York Giants and New Orleans Saints are out of the playoff mix, but games still have to be played and the Giants are in contention for the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft.

Because this game has to be played regardless of record, we're going to bet on and try to find some value. In this article, I'm going to break down where I think that value lies. Let's dive into it.

Saints vs. Giants Key Players to Watch

New Orleans Saints

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: The Saints wide receiver has played a huge role in their game since being picked up off the waivers. He has four touchdowns in four games with New Orleans and is a constant deep threat to blow the top off the defense at any point.

New York Giants

Tyrone Tracy Jr.: The Giants' rookie running back has been fantastic this season, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. With obvious questions at quarterback, New York would be smart to lean on Tracy jr. as much as possible. Keep Devin Singletary on the sideline as the vet is average 1.0 fewer yards per carry than the rookie.

Saints vs. Giants Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the "Road to 272 Bets", I broke down why I'm betting the OVER in this NFC showdown:

The only thing that was keeping the Giants together defensively was Dexter Lawrence, who has established himself as one of the very best defensive linemen in the league. Now, he's on injured reserve leaving the Giant's defense to be susceptible in every facet of the game.

Even if there's not much to brag about either team offensively, especially the Giants, I have to think a total of 40.0 is too low for a game involving two defenses that rank 24th and 31st in opponent yards per play. Derek Carr has also been better this season than he gets credit for, ranking 11th in EPA+CPOE composite this season, one spot above Patrick Mahomes and one spot below Brock Purdy.

I'll take the OVER in this NFC duel.

Pick: OVER 40.5 (-110)
