Giants vs Saints NFL Pick: 0-4 Saints Seeking First Win (Oct 5)

• The Giants got their first victory of the season, beating the Chargers 21-18.
• New Orleans dropped to 0-4 following their 31-19 loss to the Bills in Buffalo.
• These teams last met on December 8, 2024, in a game that the Saints won 14-11.

The Giants and Saints meet this week in a battle of NFC teams. New York will aim to build on rookie Jaxson Dart’s debut win, but without WR Malik Nabers. Meanwhile, the Saints are desperate to avoid an 0-5 start.

Giants Aim to Build on Win

The Giants avoided falling to 0-4 on Sunday, pulling off an impressive victory against the 3-0 Chargers. Their defense bounced back after some suspect results in the first three weeks. On the other side of the ball, rookie QB Jaxson Dart posted a 96 passer rating while also rushing for 54 yards. While New York now has some momentum, they also lost star WR Malik Nabers to an ACL injury during the victory on Sunday.

Saints Seek to Avoid 0-5 Start

The Saints are one of just three winless teams in the NFL. Hoping to avoid staying winless longer than the Titans and Jets, New Orleans has their eyes on a winnable matchup at home against the Giants. While QB Spencer Rattler continues to adjust to the NFL, the Saints run game as proven to be a crucial asset. They totaled 189 yards on the ground against the Bills, the most impressive part of an otherwise rough defeat.

Giants vs Saints NFL Pick

The Giants and Saints are both in desperate need of wins if they want to keep any dwindling playoff hopes alive. In reality, both teams are rebuilding and aiming to win to show improvement more than anything. With two struggling teams, the home-field advantage is likely to play a factor. It’s also quite difficult to stay unbeaten or winless in the NFL. I see the Saints getting into the win column with a victory over the Giants.
