Bill Speros writes: “The Giants won their battle against the Chargers Sunday. But lost the war. Jaxson Dart delivered in his first NFL start. But Big Blue lost Malik Nabers for the season due to an ACL injury. That gives Brian Daboll a built-in excuse to keep his job for another season. Meanwhile, Saints QB Spencer Rattler fell to 0-10 as a starter in Sunday’s 31-19 loss at Buffalo. New Orleans gets its first – and possibly only – win of the season here.”
The site’s formula predicts that the Giants will win the NFL Week 5 game against the Saints.

Matt Johnson writes: “The New York Giants offense without Malik Nabers will be almost close to unwatchable. Fortunately for New York, its defensive line is coming off a season-best performance and now gets to take on a young quarterback (Spencer Rattler) who has really struggled with pressure this season. Neither quarterback will play particularly well in this game, but the Giants have the defensive advantage and Dart should make enough plays with his arm to pull out his second career win.”
