Giants vs. Jets: NFL experts make Week 8 picks

See who experts around the league are taking in a Week 8 matchup between the New York Giants and New York Jets.

The New York Giants (2-5) will host the New York Jets (3-3) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.

Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 3-point home underdogs and that’s precisely 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 8 matchup:

Expert Pick Score (if applicable)
Dan Graziano (ESPN) Jets N/A
Mike Clay (ESPN) Jets N/A
Seth Wickersham (ESPN) Jets N/A
Pete Prisco (CBS) Jets 21-16
John Breech (CBS) Jets 19-16
Jordan Dajani (CBS) Jets 23-18
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) Jets 17-16
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) Jets 20-14
Bill Bender (Sporting News) Jets  24-14
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) Jets  24-13

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Jets are a popular pick over the Giants but we’d be lying if we said we anticipated a clean sweep by the above panel.

Although all 10 are going with Gang Green, most expect it to be a close, low-scoring game. That makes sense given that both offenses are among the league’s worst.

Experts from around the NFL are also heavily favoring the Jets but not at a 100 percent clip. According to NFL Pickwatch, 82 percent are picking the Giants to fall on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Fans agree with 86 percent also picking the Jets.
