The Giants got an early Christmas present this year with a win over the Raiders.
The Raiders defeated the Jaguars 19-14, helping the Giants retain the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft as both teams battled for the No. 1 pick.
The Giants clinched the spot after a 34-7 loss to the Falcons on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta.
With 11:26 left in the fourth quarter and Las Vegas leading by one point, Amir Abdullah scored the winning touchdown on a 7-yard rush.
This victory means the Giants can control their own destiny in terms of where they pick in April's draft.
The loss to Atlanta and the win in Las Vegas leave them the only team in the NFL with two wins heading into the final two weeks of the season.
It's no secret that the Giants' greatest need is at quarterback after parting ways with Daniel Jones earlier this season.
Miami's Cam Ward and Colorado star Shedur Sanders are projected to be two of the top QBs available in this year's draft class.
If the Giants acquire the No. 1 pick, it will be the first time since 1965 that a team has owned the No. 1 pick in the draft.
Unless the Giants lose the final two games of the season, the No. 1 overall pick is guaranteed.
According to Tankasson, the Raiders' victory moved him down to sixth overall in the draft.
The Patriots are in second place, followed by the Jaguars, Titans, and Browns.
If the Giants win either of their last two games, the situation could become uncertain as they could drop to the No. 7 overall pick depending on the tiebreaker scenario with five other three-win teams.
