EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Underdogs no more. At least not this week for the New York Giants, facing a game with significant playoff implications Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
It’s quite the role reversal. The Giants weren’t supposed to be here. They weren’t expected to be 5. ½-point favorites and a win over the Indianapolis Colts away from reaching the postseason at the start of 2023.
While running back Saquon Barkley said he knew during training camp that the Giants could be a playoff team, the Giants have relished the underdog role throughout the season.
