Patriots Preseason Kings

The Patriots went 3-0 in the preseason last season and 9-2 over the last three years. Furthermore, New England has a record of 49-36 in exhibition games under coach Bill Belichick.

The Giants have a first-year coach in Brian Daboll, who replaces the fired Joe Judge. Oddly enough, Judge is now back with the Patriots as the quarterbacks coach.

For what it’s worth, the Giants lost all three preseason games last year.

No Jones vs Jones

Those who have a jones for Giants quarterback Daniel Jones facing Patriots counterpart Mac Jones are going to be disappointed.

Mac Jones is not expected to play Thursday. Instead, backup Brian Hoyer and rookie Bailey Zappe will get the reps at QB.

The 36-year-old Hoyer has plenty of experience in The Patriot Way as he has played seven seasons in New England, though started only one regular-season game.

Hoyer appeared in five games for the Patriots in the regular season last year and completed 9 of 11 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown.

Zappe was the Patriots’ fourth-round draft this year. He had a phenomenal season in 2021 at Western Kentucky as he threw for 5.967 yards and 62 touchdowns.

Daniel Jones is expected to see limited action for the Giants, probably no more than two series. He will try to get acclimated to the new offense installed by Daboll, most recently the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator.

Jones is struggling with the new system.

Tyrod Taylor, an 11-year veteran, is the Giants’ QB2 after starting five games for the Houston Texans last season. Third-stringer Davis Webb, who was drafted by the Giants in 2017 but has yet to throw a pass in a regular-season game, should also play a lot.

Giants vs Patriots Injury Report

Giants tight end Ricky Seal-Jones and running Matt Brieda have not practiced this week because of undisclosed injuries and will not play. Neither will tight end Andre Miller (wrist) and cornerback Rodarius Williams (knee).

Patriots tight end Devin Asiasi has also been out with an undisclosed injury and will almost certainly miss the game.

Keep an eye on Montgomery

Wide receiver/running back Ty Montgomery has been making a strong impression during his first training camp with the Patriots.

Belichick is intrigued by the veteran’s versatility and Montgomery will likely see a lot of action so New England can evaluate how he fits into their offense.

Montgomery spent the past two seasons with the New Orleans Saints. He has also played for the Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets during his seven-year career.

Giants vs Patriots Prediction

The Giants plan to play their starters briefly while most of the Patriots’ regulars won’t even see the field. Belichick’s teams have a knack for winning in August, though, and that makes the Patriots attractive as a home underdog.

Pick: Patriots +2.5 (-115)
