Giants vs. Raiders Odds
Game Preview
Giants are winless on the road this season. They had the potential to be much better than 2-13, but the injuries have shredded their roster. The good thing is that they have the QB, with Jaxson Dart showing his potential.
The 22-year-old has 1,835 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and 5 picks, and he has run for 407 yards and 7 touchdowns, which is excellent for a rookie.
Jaxson Dart says he’s communicated with the coaching staff his desires for the offense and his voice has been heard.

As for the Raiders, we saw them play decent football in Houston last weekend, pushing the Texans to the edge. It was 23-21 for one of the best teams in the league, but the LVR showed teeth.
Geno Smith threw for 201 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one pick. The sole bright spot of the team this season, RB Ashton Jeanty, had 128 rushing yards for a TD. This guy is an All-Pro potential, and the Ravens have to find him a decent QB.
Giants vs. Raiders Head to Head
The Raiders lead the series 9-6, and they won the most recent event, 30-6, back in November 2023.
Giants vs. Raiders Predictions
Under is our pick for this one. The line is set at 41.5 points, and knowing that both teams are after the top pick in the upcoming draft, we might see plenty of mixing in the respective lineups. Also, both units have multiple problems, so when we combine these two, under is our bet here.
- Free NFL Picks: Under 41.5 points
