See who experts around the league are taking in a Week 9 matchup between the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders.

The New York Giants (2-6) will visit the Las Vegas Raiders (3-5) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday afternoon.

Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 3.5-point road underdogs but that has dipped a bit since then. As of this writing, the Giants are +1.5.

Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 9 matchup:

Given the complete upheaval in Las Vegas, we expected to see more experts picking the Giants this week. The fact that the above panel still tilts toward the Raiders is a sad indictment of just how far the Giants have fallen.

But it’s not just the 10 names above. 53 percent of all NFL experts and insiders are picking Las Vegas to win on Sunday, according to NFL Pickwatch.

Fans lack even more faith in the Giants, picking the Raiders at a 58 percent clip.
