The Giants just can’t stop winning. Once again, they were underdogs against the Jaguars last week and they defied the market to pull off the SU win and move to 6-1. Now they are in a similar position this week as 3-point road dogs against the Seahawks. Similarly, Seattle is also defying expectations. The Seahawks were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, but currently sit top of the NFC West with a 4-3 record. Which team will continue their season of unlikely wins? Our NFL expert has picks, predictions and best bets for this matchup, so let’s break it all down.

NFL Week 8 New York Giants vs Seattle Seahawks prediction
The Giants have indeed been winning, but they haven’t been winning comfortably. They had to come from behind to edge the Ravens 2 weeks ago before a 4th-quarter comeback against the Jaguars saw them move to 6-1, and even in that game they had to hold Christian Kirk at the 1-yard line late in the game in order to secure the win. Geno Smith and the Seahawks have been defying expectation, and with rookie running back Kenneth Walker beginning to blow up it will be interesting to see which of these teams secures the victory, and whether it will be as close as the spread suggests.
