The New York Giants open up their 2023 preseason schedule against the Detroit Lions on Friday at Ford Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Lions odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Giants concluded the 2022 season with a 9-7-1 record in Brian Daboll’s debut year as head coach, advancing to the NFC Divisional Round before being eliminated by the Philadelphia Eagles. New York added TE Darren Waller (via trade from the Las Vegas Raiders) to give QB Daniel Jones another go-to target in the passing game this season.
Expectations are high for the Lions in 2023 after they narrowly fell short of making the playoffs in 2022 with a 9-8 record. Detroit is looking to take another step forward with Dan Campbell at the helm and QB Jared Goff under center.
The preseason is only 3 games for each team that doesn’t play in the Hall of Fame Game, so starters will get limited — if any — playing time.
