• ESPN simulations have New York as XX% favorites to win the game.

• XX% of sports bets are currently on New York to win as (TBD) underdogs.

• The line for this game is Giants by 2.5 points.

• Odell Beckham Jr. finally had a performance to match the headlines and the New York Giants came out of it with a win, though it was not without further controversy. Beckham will take his show across the Atlantic on Sunday, when the Giants face the Los Angeles Rams at Twickenham Stadium in London.

• Beckham suffered a hip pointer in the win over the Ravens and was able to return to the game and score the final TD, but he has been receiving treatment for the injury this week and sat out practice on Wednesday. Eli Manning threw for 403 yards and three scores last week, but New York’s rushing attack was limited to 38 yards on 17 carries despite the return of Rashad Jennings, who missed a month with a thumb injury. Shane Vereen has not played since Week 3 and is on injured reserve with a triceps injury but still leads the Giants with 147 rushing yards.

• Los Angeles’ big problem at the beginning of the season was the offense, but quarterback Case Keenum and company have been doing more than enough to win of late. Keenum threw for 321 yards and completed 19 straight passes at one point against Detroit last week, but the defense failed to hold a late lead in a 31-28 loss. The Rams’ defense could have a tough time covering Beckham on Sunday if top cornerback Trumaine Johnson (ankle) is forced to miss a second straight game.

• Rams DT Michael Brockers (thigh) did not practice on Wednesday and is day-to-day.

• New York S Nat Behre (concussion) had to be removed from practice on Wednesday and remains in the league’s protocol.

• Los Angeles RB Todd Gurley averaged a season-high 4.1 yards per carry last week but has yet to record a 100-yard performance.
