NY Giants vs. Las Vegas Raiders score pick

It’s difficult to envision Sunday’s game being all that clean and crisp, based on what these two teams have had to deal with over the past week.

The NY Giants faced a barrage of false-positive COVID-19 tests, were forced to move meetings to Zoom, and face loads of questions over who will actually be available on Sunday.

Meanwhile, far more consequentially and tragically, the Raiders have had to navigate the aftermath of Henry Ruggs being arrested for DUI in the wake of a fiery crash that killed a woman and her dog, as the star wide receiver was driving 156 miles per hour at the time. Football matters far less than what happened on that Las Vegas street.

But, Sunday, this game will come down to talent and health, and the Raiders are the more talented team, and the healthier one as the NY Giants enter without Saquon Barkley and Sterling Shepard.

Prediction: Raiders 19, Giants 17
