New Orleans Saints vs. New York Giants Prediction

I’m on the Giants here. I understand the case to be made for the Saints here after ownership’s called out the state of this team in the early going this season after much higher expectations than what’s been delivered on the field. On the flipside, the Giants have thrived with Jameis Winston at QB as backup quarterbacks have been money so far this season and I look for that to continue in this game as well. I’ll take my chances with the Giants in this one.
