Despite the Giants' holding out hope, they have officially ruled out running back Saquon Barkley for this match-up. The Pro Bowl running back suffered an ankle sprain in last week's win over the Cardinals. Barkley will be joined by left tackle Andrew Thomas on the sidelines. Thomas is also 'out' with a hamstring injury.
Last week the Giants were able to improve to 1-1 on the young season thanks to an incredible comeback in Arizona. New York trailed by 21 points late in the third quarter before storming back for the win. Barkley got into the end zone twice, while quarterback Daniel Jones hit wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins on an 11-yard touchdown pass to tie things up at 28. Then veteran kicker Graham Gano drilled a 34-yard field goal that gave the Giants the 31-28 win. It was the Giants' biggest comeback since 1949, which was also against the Cardinals.
Prior to their second-half surge, to say New York had been struggling would be an understatement. They were scoreless through their first six quarters of the season. In week 1, they were blanked in a 40-0 stomping by the Cowboys.
The 49ers (2-0) have had a much better start to their season and will look to keep that going in this matchup. In week one, they rolled the Steelers on the road, 30-7. Last week in Los Angeles they controlled the game from start to finish in a 30-23 win over the Rams.
This game marks their home opener, thus the first time this season Niner fans will get to see the NFL’s leading rusher Christian McCaffrey go to work. The 27-year-old offensive weapon is off to the best start of his career. He's rushed for a total of 268 yards in his first two games, tops in the NFL and 88 yards better than the Falcon’s Bijan Robinson who’s second in the league in rushing.
San Francisco's offense will have to deal with a late inactive. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is dealing with a shoulder injury and will miss tonight's contest. He is the 49ers leading receiver with 172 yards.
According to Draft Kings, the 49ers are HUGE 10.5-point favorites against the Giants. The over/under is 43.5.
