The New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders face off on Sunday in an NHL showdown at Allegiant Stadium.
New Era for Raiders?
It looks to be a new era for the Raiders will all the changes that were made this week. Gone is Josh Daniels who should have never been hired in the first place. The Raiders have named Antonio Pierce the interim coach and this is his chance to prove he deserves to be the long term coach of the team. The Raiders have also decided to bench Jimmy G and Aidan O’Connell is going to get the start in this game. On the season he has thrown for 313 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. The Raiders are averaging 15.8 points while their defense is giving up 23.4 points per game.

Daniel Jones is Back
After missing a couple of games, Daniel Jones is back for the Giants and they are going to need him to have a big game here. Jones when he has played this season hasn’t been good and he currently has thrown two touchdowns and six interceptions. The bad quarterback play for the Giants has been a reason this team has really struggled to score. The Giants are averaging 11.88 points while their defense is giving up 23.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 32nd while the defense is ranked 22nd.

- Each of the Giants' last six games have gone UNDER the total points line.
Shane’s Free Pick
This is going to be an ugly game and even reaching 20 points might be hard. Both quarterbacks are going to have some major issues moving the ball. Daniel Jones is going to continue with the turnovers and that is going to lead to the Giants really struggling to score. Look for neither team to reach 14 points and this game is going to stay under the total. Back the under. This is one of my favorite plays on the board.
