Indianapolis Colts (-7.5) vs. New York Giants

Playing against the Giants right now seems like a smart move.

The Giants will mail it in against a team built to rush the football behind great running back Jonathan Taylor and two-way quarterback Anthony Richardson.

On a cold day in New Jersey, we tend to think that the Giants' hearts are not into this game and that Taylor will win some people's fantasy football championships.

Add in the fact that the Colts still have a chance to make the playoffs, and Indianapolis is expected to win the playoffs with relative ease.

Another factor to consider is that the Giants have scored more than 14 points once since benching Daniel Jones, and he has scored 32 points (10.7 points per game) in their past three losses. be.

But hey, if the Giants lose, they'll move one step closer to getting the No. 1 pick.

Las Vegas Raiders (-1) vs. New Orleans Saints

Spencer Rattler had the worst quarterback performance we've seen in a long time in Green Bay on Monday, taking a bad sack and making brutal throws in frigid temperatures. He's not an NFL quarterback.

Sure, it might not make sense to back a Raiders team that's 3-12, but we saw last week that the Raiders aren't just lying around.

Vegas has already lost the No. 1 pick, so could a fourth win in New Orleans give them a few more spots?

There won't be a ton of points scored in this game, but the Raiders have more weapons and are somehow starting a better quarterback here in Aidan O'Connell, who is mediocre at best.
