It’s a race to the bottom for the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders when they meet up on Sunday afternoon.

The Giants kept it close against the Vikings but ultimately fell 16-13 to Minnesota for their ninth straight loss. The Raiders also had a close loss of their own, losing 23-21 in Houston for their ninth loss in a row as well.

My Giants vs. Raiders predictions and NFL picks are backing Houston as home underdogs in a low-scoring game.

Early Giants vs Raiders spread pick: Raiders -1.5

-104 at FanDuel

This game is a complete toss-up, but I’m looking the way of the Las Vegas Raiders at home. The New York Giants are winless on the road this season, and that won't change in this game. 

Neither team really has anything to play for, but the Raiders will at least have some motivation in front of their home fans.

They’ve kept it fairly close in some recent games against contenders, so they should be able to pull out the victory at home over the lowly Giants.

Early Giants vs Raiders total pick: Under 41.5

-105 at FanDuel

These are two of the worst offenses in football meeting up on Sunday afternoon. The Raiders have scored a league-low 14.5 points per game, nearly two full points fewer than anyone else.

The Giants have been a bit better at 20.9, but that’s still in the Bottom 10. 

Neither defense has been great, either, but it’s a battle between two lackluster teams this week. I foresee a lot of punts and turnovers in Sin City.
