Giants vs Raiders Prediction
The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants are 2-6 this season and they have looked terrible in their games so far. They have been losing some bad games against better opponents and their only 2 wins have been against the Cardinals and the Commanders. The Raiders are somehow in an even worse situation though since they are 3-5 this season and now they are entering this game with no head coach. They are also going to be rolling out their rookie QB Aidan O'Connell in this game and he hasn't looked great in the few opportunities he has gotten. The Raiders have been falling apart over the last few weeks and this is a terrible spot now with everything hitting the fan this week. The Giants haven't been good this season but they have looked a lot better lately as they have been playing in closer games and they have a good chance of winning this game in this spot. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to cover the spread in this game.
