There were fewer experts picking the Giants outside of the above panel than in it but not by much. The Raiders seem to be betting favorites, which falls in line with the Tipico odds.
Those who have the Raiders winning, see it as a more spread-out game. Five points being the lowest margin of victory for Las Vegas, and 10 points being the highest. Pete Prisco of CBS Sports sees the Giants coming out with a three-point upset.
