New York got some much-needed momentum heading into this game by overcoming a 21-point third-quarter deficit and defeating Arizona 31-28 when Graham Gano kicked a 34-yard field goal with 19 seconds left. Daniel Jones redeemed himself after a disastrous Week 1 performance, completing 26 of 37 passes for 321 yards and two TDs for the Giants. Saquon Barkley (ankle) likely won't play against San Francisco, and the backups are Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell. The 49ers are 2-9 ATS their past 11 games in Week 3 and 4-9 ATS overall in Thursday games, including 1-6 ATS coming off a win. The Giants are 20-8 ATS as road underdogs of 3.5-10.5 points and they have covered eight of 11 overall on the road. Brock Purdy passed for 206 yards and ran for a TD, but the 49ers showed some vulnerability on defense as the Rams outgained them 386-365. Rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua had 15 catches for 147 yards to break the NFL's single-game receptions record for a rookie. The Niners are by far the superior team, but this is too many points. Take the points with the Giants as a Max Play.
