The New York Giants are 2-5 on the season but they've been playing some good football the past two weeks. They had an impressive 25-3 win against the Carolina Panthers and suffered a tough three-point loss against one of the League's most talented teams, Kansas City Chiefs. They will be taking on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Things look like they're turning around in New York and they might even see a return of Saquon Barkley. One thing that could possibly hold the Giants back is that they had 13 positive tests for COVID-19 on Tuesday. They were all tested the next day and none of the players tested positive.

Giants Week 9 Predictions

4. The Raiders have had a tough week and the Giants will take advantage

The Raiders went through more than any football team would ever like to go through. Star wide receiver Henry Ruggs was involved in a drunk car accident that had the wide receiver kill a woman and her dog. Las Vegas' mind has to be on everything besides football this week.

The Giants will certainly feel bad for what the Raiders had to go through this week but at the end of the day this is a business and they're going to look to capitalize on the lack of focus that the Raiders were able to have this week.

3. Saquon Barkley returns and shows why he's a top running back in the NFL

There is a chance that Barkley still doesn't play this week but he's not on the injury report and he has been practicing. There's been a lot of disrespect on Saquon either about him not being able to stay healthy or people just underrating the star running back. He's going to come back and show everybody that he's still a top 3 running back in football and will score a touchdown in his return and have over 80 yards on the ground.

2. Daniel Jones has a 300-yard passing game

The Giants are going to win this game pretty easily. The lack of focus that the Raiders are going to have is going to be something that the Giants are going to take advantage of. Jones has had some decent games recently and he's going to continue that this week. Jones is going to throw for 300 yards will also throw two touchdowns to help the Giants secure this victory. The Giants are going to put up a good amount of points.

1. The Giants win by a touchdown or more

If anything the past two weeks have shown the Giants it's that they can compete with some of the better teams in football. The Giants had a disappointing start to the year but after the past two weeks, they have to be feeling better about themselves. With everything that happened in Las Vegas and the Giants finally playing some good football expect the Giants to come out and win this one pretty easily. The Giants do have a couple of injuries that are going to set them back but if they can get some production from other guys on the offensive end they should be able to win this game.
