Week 15: NY Giants at New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Dec. 17
Now that he's no longer in Las Vegas, Carr is hoping to make a big splash in his first season as the new starter for the Saints. While things went poorly for him working under Josh McDaniels, perhaps the move to the NFC South is just what the Pro Bowler needs to get things back on the right track. With Michael Thomas on the comeback trail too, the Saints could be a team to watch in '23.
Traveling to New Orleans is never easy for a team. The passionate Saints fans will hope to make a difference in this one as well. Jones and the Giants will likely be road underdogs for this matchup. While our gut tells us that the Giants should win this one, we also think the Week 15 showdown could be 'one of those' games for the East Rutherford side.
Prediction: Saints 23, Giants 21
Week 16: NY Giants at Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Day
A lot of young NY fans have already written to Santa asking for a Giants upset vs. the Eagles on Dec. 25. It's not going to happen. The Eagles dominated the Giants last season, including the huge win in the Divisional Round. That has left a sour taste in the mouth of Big Blue as a whole all offseason. It was a horrible ending for a memorable '22 campaign.
In Week 16, the Eagles will be flying high and they'll also be ready to send a statement to the rest of the league. The Giants will do everything in their power to try and get things done at Lincoln Financial Field, but Jalen Hurts will remind everyone of why he landed his mega-deal not long ago.
Prediction: Eagles 31, Giants 21
