Las Vegas Raiders vs New York Giants Prediction: Home team will not have trouble winning

In NFL action for week 9, the New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders will square off against one another on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. Let's take a look at the matchup ahead of us and make a pick and forecast.

After losing five of their previous seven contests, the Las Vegas Raiders are desperate for a victory. The Las Vegas Raiders have been victorious in both of their most recent games played at home. Jimmy Garoppolo has a completion percentage of 65.5 percent; he has 1,205 passing yards, 7 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions so far this season. Josh Jacobs has racked up 28 receptions, while Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers have combined for 943 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns between the two of them. The running game for the Las Vegas Raiders is averaging 70 yards per game, and Jacobs is leading the way with 408 yards and three touchdowns to his credit. The Las Vegas Raiders are surrendering 337.6 yards and 23.4 points per game because of their poor defense. Maxx Crosby has 6.5 sacks, and Tre'von Moehrig has two interceptions for the Las Vegas Raiders. Robert Spillane has the most tackles for the Las Vegas Raiders, with 65.

After dropping five of their previous six games, the New York Giants are desperate for a victory. The New York Giants have now dropped three straight games away from home. Daniel Jones has a completion percentage of 68.9 percent, with 884 yards passing, 2 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions from his passing attempts. Darren Waller, Darius Slayton, and Jalin Hyatt have all caught passes for the team, and the three of them have combined for 641 receiving yards and one score. The rushing attack of the New York Giants is good for 112.8 yards per game on average, and Saquon Barkley is the team's leading rusher with 412 yards and one score. The New York Giants have a defense that is giving up an average of 338.9 yards and 23.4 points per game. Bobby Okereke has the most tackles (73), Kayvon Thibodeaux has the most sacks (8.5), and Jason Pinnock has the most interceptions (1) for the New York Giants.

The Las Vegas Raiders are in utter disarray, and they will have significantly less time to prepare for their next game because they played on Monday night. Having said that, the Las Vegas Raiders are at least playing at home, where they have been successful recently, winning their previous two games. After suffering an embarrassing defeat in overtime at the hands of the Jets, the New York Giants are currently ranked 32nd in both total offense and scoring offense. The Las Vegas Raiders have problems of their own, but at least there is talent and potential on that side of the ball. If I were to be forced to decide, I would have no other option but to wager the field goal on the Las Vegas Raiders.
