Seattle Seahawks vs NY Giants Prediction
Seattle is coming off of a double-digit loss on the road against Detroit, but they come into this game as a pretty decent-sized favorite. The Seahawks racked up a ton of yards in their last game and the offense played well, but the defense was torched. New York played decently well against Dallas, but they settled for way too many field goals in the game. The Giants haven’t been great on the offensive side of the ball, but I do think Jones can find some success in the passing game. I think this game will be closer than people think and I actually think the Giants have a chance to win it, so give me New York and the points.
