'Raiders vs. Giants prediction: Overlook in this matchup'

Get ready for a dramatic showdown as the 2-6 Giants take on the 3-5 Raiders in Las Vegas. Both teams are making changes and the game is expected to be high-scoring.

Sunday's interconference matchup between the 2-6 Giants and 3-5 Raiders in Las Vegas is set to be a dramatic showdown. The Raiders recently fired their head coach, Josh McDaniels, following disappointing losses on the road against the Bears and Lions. In addition, they are making a change at the quarterback position, with Aidan O'Connell taking over from Jimmy Garoppolo after his lackluster performance in the previous game.

On the other hand, the Giants are coming off a perplexing loss to their rivals, the Jets, in overtime. Despite leading by three points late in the game, kicker Graham Gano missed a crucial field goal, allowing the Jets to tie the game and eventually win in overtime. The Giants will be hoping for a better outcome this time, especially with Daniel Jones returning as their quarterback. Their offense has struggled without him, scoring 14 points or less in three games.

Fortunately for the Giants, their defense has shown improvement in recent weeks, allowing 14 points or fewer in each of their past three games. However, they will face a tough challenge against the Raiders, who have won their last two games at Allegiant Stadium. Adding to the intrigue, former Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce will make his head coaching debut for the Raiders, taking over from the fired McDaniels.

While this game is difficult to predict in terms of the outcome, with both teams having their share of struggles, it's worth considering the total points scored. The over/under line is set at 37.5, and this could be an opportunity to go against the prevailing trends and bet on the over.

The Giants have gone under the total in seven of their eight games this season, while the Raiders have also favored the under, with a 6-2 record. However, it's worth noting that the Raiders have hit the over in their only game with a total below 40. Additionally, the Giants won't have to contend with unfavorable weather conditions like they did in their game against the Jets.

Taking all these factors into account, it may be wise to consider betting on the over in the matchup between the Giants and Raiders on Sunday.
