The New York Giants (2-13) will host the Indianapolis Colts (7-8) on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 7.5-point home underdogs and that’s where the spread remains as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 17 matchup:
Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Colts | N/A |
Matt Bowen (ESPN) | Colts | N/A |
Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Colts | N/A |
Pete Prisco (CBS) | Colts | 24-10 |
John Breech (CBS) | Colts | 24-13 |
Jordan Dajani (CBS) | Colts | 20-10 |
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Colts | 30-17 |
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Colts | 28-7 |
Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Colts | 30-16 |
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Colts | 31-24 |
It should come as no surprise that the above panel unanimously picked the Colts to win on Sunday. The Giants are, in the words of their fans, a “dumpster fire” and have inspired absolutely no confidence this season.
Most don’t even expect the game to be close with just one writer — Vinnie Iyer — predicting a one-score difference.
Other experts and analysts from around the league are similarly pessimistic when it comes to the Giants with just two percent predicting an upset, per NFL Pickwatch.
Fans are equally bullish on the Colts with 99 percent picking Indianapolis.
