One of the most intriguing matchups of the week features two teams with 2-13 records: the New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders. Interest in the game stems from its potential draft implications, as the outcome could determine which franchise secures the No. 1 pick next year.
Many Raiders fans prefer a loss to keep hopes alive of drafting Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. However, the team is also looking to snap a nine-game skid.
Meanwhile, a win may cost the Giants the opportunity to select first in the 2026 draft. They are in need of a franchise quarterback.
