The New York Giants (2-10) will host the New Orleans Saints (4-8) on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 4-point home underdogs but that spread has worsened slightly with Big Blue now at +4.5.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 14 matchup:
Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Saints | N/A |
Matt Bowen (ESPN) | Saints | N/A |
Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Giants | N/A |
Pete Prisco (CBS) | Giants | 21-20 |
John Breech (CBS) | Saints | 23-16 |
Jordan Dajani (CBS) | Giants | 19-16 |
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Saints | 24-17 |
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Saints | 28-10 |
Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Saints | 24-17 |
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Giants | 20-17 |
It’s an interesting week with a more even split than expected. 40 percent of the above panel is picking the Giants in an upset and all but one — USA TODAY’s Lorenzo Reyes — see it being a close game on Sunday. However, he anticipates a blowout.
Other experts and analysts from around the league aren’t nearly as confident in the Giants with just 12 percent predicting the upset, per NFL Pickwatch.
Fans are even more bullish on the Saints with 94 percent picking New Orleans.
