Seahawks vs Giants Prediction
The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a 1 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants are 1-2 this season and haven't looked good in any of their games, even the game they won, but they are back at home in a prime time game and they will be looking to bounce back after getting embarrassed on Thursday night by the 49ers. The Giants are 0-2 in prime time games this season but they will be looking to change that here and even though they are missing a lot of key players, they will be able to move the ball against this bad Seahawks defense. The Seahawks have been giving up a ton of yards and a ton of points all season which has allowed bad teams to stay in their games like the Panthers did last week. The Giants are also going to be out to prove they are not as bad as the way they have played in these first 3 games so they are going to have extra motivation on this national stage. The Seahawks do have a lot more talent on offense but the Giants defense wasn't terrible in their last game as they kept them in it as long as they could and they are going to have a much easier time defending against this weaker Seahawks offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to cover the spread in this game.
Seahawks Giants Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Monday, October 2, 2023 (8:15 pm ET start time) is Giants 22 Seahawks 16.
