Giants vs Raiders Prediction

The current betting odds have the Raiders listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Raiders have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-13 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC West with the worst record in the entire NFL. They haven't looked good on their home field either with their 1-6 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Giants have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-13 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC East with the worst record in the entire NFL. They have been the worst road team in the NFL this season too with their 0-8 road record. The Giants are off a 16-13 loss to the Vikings in their last one and their season has been a disaster. They have a lot of promising young players, but most of them have been injured. They have also lost 9 games in a row now and they have nothing left to play for this season, even firing their head coach earlier this year, so this is going to be a long trip for them to make. The Raiders haven't looked any better in their games lately as they have also lost 9 games in a row now, but they are off a 23-21 loss to the Texans in their last one and Geno Smith looked a lot better in his return to the lineup. Jeanty also had a breakout game and this Raiders offense does have some talent in it so they definitely have the edge here with the home advantage. The best way to place a bet here is on the Raiders to cover the spread in this game.
