Game Preview

The 2-13 New York Giants visit the 2-13 Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17 with an odd twist: the loser may inch closer to the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET on December 28 at Allegiant Stadium.

Both teams are eliminated from playoff contention, and rumors of tanking swirl. Despite the narrative, players and coaches still have jobs to win, or lose. The Raiders are short-handed without star tight end Brock Bowers, who’s now on injured reserve. That loss may shift their offensive focus.

On the other side, Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart is still finding his footing. He’ll need help from RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. and WR Wan’Dale Robinson to move the ball against a Raiders defense that has struggled on third downs.

This matchup could come down to motivation and execution. With both teams near the bottom in explosive plays and red-zone efficiency, mistakes may define the outcome.

Key Insights

  • The Giants run no-huddle on 18.2% of plays, ranking in the 94th percentile. That fast pace could test the Raiders' depth, especially late in drives.
  • The Raiders allow explosive runs on just 2.3% of snaps (89th percentile), a strength they’ll need if Maxx Crosby can’t go.
  • Las Vegas struggles on third down, stopping opponents just 49.7% of the time (6th percentile), which could help a shaky Giants offense stay on the field.
  • New York’s defense gives up touchdowns on 64% of red-zone trips (6th percentile), one of the worst marks in the league.
  • The Raiders’ offensive line allows sacks on 11.1% of dropbacks, putting pressure on their quarterback to get the ball out quickly.
  • The Giants’ defense ranks in just the 9th percentile for turnover generation, limiting their ability to flip field position.

Betting Insights

  • The total is set at 42.0, with the Under priced at -123. Both offenses rank low in explosive play rates and red-zone scoring.
  • The Giants are favored at -3.0 with +110 odds, while the Raiders are available at +3.0 (-179), showing heavy juice on the home underdog.
  • Jaxson Dart’s passing yard line is 183.5. The Under is priced at -120, reflecting his inconsistent play and pressure concerns.
  • Tyrone Tracy Jr.’s rushing yard line is 56.5. The Over sits at -116, and he could see volume against a defense that fades late.
  • Ashton Jeanty is -161 to score a touchdown, the shortest price on the board, suggesting a strong red-zone role.

Final Summary

This game may not affect playoff seeding, but it could shape the future of both franchises. With both teams sitting at 2-13, the stakes are high, for next year. A loss helps draft position, but don’t expect players to coast.

Injuries are a factor. The Giants could be without key offensive linemen, and the Raiders may miss Maxx Crosby. With Brock Bowers out, Las Vegas will have to lean on other weapons like Michael Mayer and Ashton Jeanty.

The Giants’ fast pace and the Raiders’ third-down struggles may give New York an edge. But with shaky offensive lines on both sides, expect a low-scoring game with field position and mistakes deciding the winner.

Bettors should watch injury news closely. If Crosby plays, that could swing value toward the Raiders. But if the Giants establish the run and control tempo, they’re live to cover or win outright.
