Giants DC Dennard Wilson: We love being home underdogs

The Giants are 3-1-1 heading into Sunday's home game against a 1-4 Saints team that was excoriated by their owner this week, but oddsmakers don't view the Giants as heavy favorites to win that game.

In fact, the oddsmakers don't view them as favorites at all. There are slight differences from sportsbook to sportsbook, but the consensus has settled on the Saints being favored by 1.5 points in Week 6. It's closer to a toss-up based on the moneyline, but the edge that New Orleans has on the point spread is enough for defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson to use as grist for the motivational mill heading into the game.

"We love playing at MetLife Stadium and being underdogs. . . . Everybody counts us out," Wilson said, via Dan Duggan of TheAthletic.com. "We like playing with a chip on our shoulder."

The Giants were also underdogs to the Cardinals at home in Week 4 and they won the game by 12 points, so Wilson has every reason to feel comfortable with how the outside world is viewing his team this week.
