Giants vs. Raiders predictions: A few brave souls are picking the Giants to win

Can New York gets its third victory of the season on Sunday?

The 2-6 New York Giants look for their third victory of the season on Sunday when they host the 5-2 Las Vegas Raiders. Let’s see if national NFL analysts think they will get it.

• FiveThirtyEight gives the Giants a 41 percent chance of winning on Sunday.
• At ESPN, Jordan Ranaan and Paul Gutierrez are both picking Las Vegas. ESPN’s Football Power Index gives the Giants a 45.7 percent chance of winning.
• At NFL.com, Gregg Rosenthal is taking the Raiders, and he’s blaming Joe Judge for that:

“I’ve believed that New York is better than its record for a while now, and Daniel Jones is mostly holding up, but the fact Joe Judge’s squad has been outscored 42-0 in the final two minutes of first halves is an indictment of his coaching ability. The Giants are bad in all the situational football ways he’s supposed to be good. In a battle of special teams mavens, I’m rolling with the BISACCIA BUMP.”

• Pete Prisco of CBS Sports is taking the Giants to pull off the upset.
• The Sporting News is going with Las Vegas.
• At Pro Football Talk, both Mike Florio and Michael David Smith are taking the Raiders. Florio also takes a shot at Judge, writing “The fish stinks from the headset.”
• At Bleacher Report, three of six analysts are picking the Giants. Yes, that means three are also picking the Raiders. We’re good at math here at Big Blue View.
• At College Football News, three of 11 analysts are taking the Giants.
• DraftKings Nation is picking the Giants, and at the same time expressing “no confidence” in that selection.
• At Athlon Sports, all four analysts are picking the Raiders.
