Giants Favored Over Raiders in Crucial Matchup

The New York Giants, currently favored by one point, face the Las Vegas Raiders in a crucial matchup for the worst record in the league. Both teams, with two wins and thirteen losses, are desperate to avoid extending their losing streaks. The Giants, favored for the second time this season, hold the number one spot for the 2026 NFL draft due to their weaker strength of schedule. The over-under total has dipped to forty-one-and-a-half points, and betting trends suggest a low-scoring battle between these tanking teams.
