The Giants have been playing better football as of late, especially on defense. However, there are injuries on offense, as QB Daniel Jones has been out with a neck injury, and backup QB Tyrod Taylor left last week’s game with a rib injury. The Giants passed for 7 yards against the New York Jets last week, and still almost won — falling 13-10 in overtime.
The Raiders have had their share of injuries and consistency problems, but Las Vegas still has talent on both sides of the ball to compete. Heading into a Week 8 Monday Night Football matchup at the Detroit Lions, Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to return, which could give the team a lift following a disappointing loss at the Chicago Bears in the previous week.
The Giants are in a very strange place with their injuries at the moment. The Raiders are far from a comfortable team laying points, but we are leaning toward Las Vegas outscoring this patchwork New York offense at home and ultimately covering the spread.
