The New York Giants are looking for another upset in Week 7 as they head to Denver to take on the Broncos on Sunday afternoon. 

The G-Men took down the Eagles 34-17 on Thursday Night Football, and have an extra rest advantage against a Broncos team that played in London on Sunday.

Can the Giants keep it up on the road?

Giants vs. Broncos Key Player to Watch

Jaxson Dart, Quarterback, New York Giants

The Giants may have found something here in rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Dart got some respect in the Offensive Rookie of the Year market after the win against the Eagles, and he has a chance to build on that in Denver this week.

Dart completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards and a score against the Birds, and ran for 58 yards and a score to boot. He’s not going to light the world on fire, especially against a defense like the Broncos, but he can make plays with his legs and arm to keep his team in the game.

Denver is coming off a mighty impressive defensive showing in London. The Broncos limited Justin Fields to 45 yards on nine of 17 passing, but they have allowed over 280 yards to Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, and Daniel Jones this season.

Dart has his biggest test yet on tap in Denver this week.

Giants vs. Broncos Prediction and Pick

Dart has ran for 54, 55, and 58 yards in his three starts for the Giants, finding paydirt in two of those three contests.

The Broncos are tough against the run this season, and the Giants will likely be playing from behind, which means Dart will have to use his legs to make things happen. Denver has only allowed two rushing touchdowns this season, but one was to former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones in Week 2.

Given the potential gamescript and what the quarterback has shown so far, I’ll throw a Dart on the rookie to score at this price.

Pick: Jaxson Dart Anytime Touchdown (+330)
