New Orleans Saints vs New York Giants Prediction
I don't want to lay points with the Saints on the road as much as the next guy, but backing the Giants isn't an option. The New York Giants have lost and failed to cover each of their last 7 games, and they've scored no more than 22 points in all of those games. At this point in the season, the Giants should be 100 percent focused on getting the first overall pick. The New Orleans Saints have issues of their own, but it doesn't get much worse than what the Giants are doing right now in the betting market. It's Saints or pass.
