Giants vs Bears Prediction
The current betting odds have the Bears listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bears have looked good in their games this season with their 5-3 record overall, but that record still has them near the bottom of the NFC North in a competitive division. They are off a 47-42 win over the Bengals in their last one and their offense looked great in that win. Meanwhile, the Giants haven't looked good in their games this season with their 2-7 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC East with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They got a nice boost of energy when they made the switch to Jaxson Dart, but now Skattebo is out and the situation has shifted. They have lost 3 games in a row now and they haven't looked good in any games since collapsing in the 4th quarter of their 33-32 loss to the Broncos. Their defense was playing well, but they haven't looked good on this losing streak and they are still in a bad situation with the key players they have lost to injury. The Bears don't have a great defense, but they will be able to slow down this Giants offense that has taken a dive in their last 2 games. The Bears offense has also looked a lot better lately and they are going to put up points at home against this Giants defense that is falling apart. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bears to cover the spread in this game.
Giants Bears Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 9, 2025 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Bears 27 Giants 17.

Notable Quotes
"Look, we’re not where we need to be. We’ve got to continue to improve here. There’s some things that, I think, are improving and there’s some things that are not.” - Brian Daboll after his team’s loss against the 49ers in their last game.
“We knew it was going to be a shootout — one of those games. Today we had to put up a bunch of points. That builds confidence knowing that they (the defense) know we have their back.” - Caleb Williams after their win against the Bengals in their last game.
