Giants vs Saints Prediction

I’m surprised the Saints are favored on the road here as they haven’t looked good in their last three games. The Saints are banged up and bad defensively. The offense has offensive line issues, and it impacts the running game and the pressure on the QB. Yes, the Giants have a backup quarterback and can be sluggish offensively, but they’re finding ways to grind out positive results. I’m just not there with the Saints, and I have zero interest in them in the favorite role. Give me the points with the Giants in a game; I expect them to win outright.
