The Giants just can’t stop winning. Once again, they were underdogs against the Jaguars last week and they defied the market to pull off the SU win and move to 6-1. Now they are in a similar position this week as 3-point road dogs against the Seahawks. Similarly, Seattle is also defying expectations. The Seahawks were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, but currently sit top of the NFC West with a 4-3 record. Which team will continue their season of unlikely wins? Our NFL expert has picks, predictions and best bets for this matchup, so let’s break it all down.

NFL Week 8 New York Giants vs Seattle Seahawks prediction
The Giants have indeed been winning, but they haven’t been winning comfortably. They had to come from behind to edge the Ravens 2 weeks ago before a 4th-quarter comeback against the Jaguars saw them move to 6-1, and even in that game they had to hold Christian Kirk at the 1-yard line late in the game in order to secure the win. Geno Smith and the Seahawks have been defying expectation, and with rookie running back Kenneth Walker beginning to blow up it will be interesting to see which of these teams secures the victory, and whether it will be as close as the spread suggests.

The injury report is looking grim for the Giants on offense. They will likely be without 2 starting offensive linemen, as RT Evan Neal (knee) and LG Ben Bredeson (knee) are both considered “week-to-week” by HC Brian Daboll. TE Daniel Bellinger is also out with an eye injury, which is significant because he is currently the 3rd-leading receiver on the Giants roster with 16 catches this season. WRs Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney also missed practice time this week and their status is highly questionable for Sunday. The cupboard is almost completely bare for QB Daniel Jones, who is having an admirably efficient season (9th EPA+CPOE) despite ranking just 34th out of 36 qualifiers in air yards. WR Wandale Robinson has looked better each week and RB Saquon Barkley continues to be the heart and soul of the offense, but eventually I expect the offensive production to drop off a cliff considering the talent — or lack thereof — Daboll and OC Mike Kafka have to work with.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks’ offense has become more reliant on the running game as rookie RB Kenneth Walker has emerged. That trend should continue again this week with WR DK Metcalf questionable. All of the Giants’ talent on defense is up front with Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams grading out exceptionally well and rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux improving each week. Eventually it’s fair to expect some regression from QB Geno Smith, but I also still expect the Seattle offense to have some success on the ground this week.
