The New York Giants (2-13) visit the Las Vegas Raiders (2-13) at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, in Week 17.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 1.5-point road favorites, but that line has worsened slightly with Las Vegas now at -1 as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 17 matchup:

It’s The Tank Bowl, and the above panel expects an ugly, low-scoring, one-possession game. That does not generally bode well for the 2025 Giants, which is why the majority predict a Raiders victory, even in the face of significant injury and personnel loss.
However, a loss would mean victory in this case. Whichever team takes the defeat in Week 17 has the inside track on the No. 1 overall selection in the 2026 NFL draft.
Other experts and analysts from around the league trend slightly toward New York, with 52 percent picking the Giants to win on Sunday, per NFL Pickwatch.
Fans are less enthusiastic, with 44 percent predicting a Big Blue victory.
