New York Giants vs. Las Vegas Raiders Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Raiders here. I’m not sure why either side would come out firing for a win here, because the win would likely take the victor out of the running for the first overall pick. However, the Raiders were surprisingly competitive against a team in a playoff hunt like Houston, and the Giants have not only been hard to back on the road, but they’ve been really poor against the run and I just think that the Raiders get it done here. Give me Las Vegas in this one.
