According to the [Giants vs. 49ers betting odds](https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/11/09/giants-49ers-odds-picks-betting-preview), the 49ers — who are 2-7 and playing at home at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. — are 3-point favorites to beat Eli Manning and the 1-7 Giants. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday, November 12, and the game, like all "Monday Night Football" matchups, is being broadcast on [ESPN](http://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401030873).
