The New York Giants (2-5) will visit the Detroit Lions (2-3-1) at Ford Field on Sunday afternoon in a game that will feature many familiar faces.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 7-point road underdogs and little has changed entering the weekend as the spread sits at +6.5.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 8 matchup:
| Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
| Mike Golic (ESPN) | Lions | N/A |
| Louis Riddick (ESPN) | Lions | N/A |
| Trey Wingo (ESPN) | Lions | N/A |
| Pete Prisco (CBS) | Lions | 33-21 |
| Jason La Canfora (CBS) | Lions | N/A |
| Ryan Wilson (CBS) | Giants | N/A |
| Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Lions | 23-20 |
| Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Lions | 29-20 |
| Tadd Haislop (Sporting News) | Lions | 27-23 |
| Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Lions | 24-20 |
As you can see, not many are giving the Giants a chance against the Lions in Detroit. In fact, only one (Ryan Wilson of CBS) of the experts we pull from picked the Giants, and he was just one of two we saw anywhere across the NFL picks realm this week.
Interestingly, with the exception of Pete Prisco, most expect this game to be relatively close with neither team eclipsing the 30-point mark despite the two poor defenses.
What say you, Giants fans? Do you agree with these picks or do you expect a Week 8 upset and win No. 3 on the season for Big Blue?
