Giants vs Raiders Could Decide the No. 1 Pick & Christmas Games Picks

Giants vs Raiders might be the strangest game of the season, with draft position looming larger than the final score and neither fanbase feeling great about a win.

This episode breaks down Giants vs Raiders as a potential battle for the first overall pick, including why Las Vegas’ offense has completely collapsed statistically despite passing at one of the highest rates in the league. We dig into how the Raiders are dead last in points per game and yards per game, why their short passing attack hasn’t protected the quarterback, and how constant pressure and interceptions have defined their season. Geno Smith’s numbers, Brock Bowers’ breakout, and the misuse of the Raiders’ run game all factor into whether this matchup stays ugly or turns chaotic late.

From there, we pivot into the full Christmas Day NFL slate, starting with Cowboys at Commanders and whether Washington can avoid the explosive mistakes that buried them in the first meeting. We examine the massive total, short-week injury concerns, and whether this becomes another shootout or a controlled reset. Lions at Vikings brings the revenge angle and the injury-driven betting shift, with quarterback uncertainty and protection issues driving the conversation. Broncos at Chiefs might be the weirdest betting line of the season, with Kansas City as massive home underdogs and a total that screams defensive slugfest.

Saturday’s games bring their own drama. Texans at Chargers is a one-score script defined by offensive line injuries and playoff history, while Ravens at Packers hinges entirely on quarterback health and whether this turns into a field-position battle instead of an explosive matchup. Every game is framed with spreads, totals, injuries, and one clear debate angle so Giants fans can argue the games instead of just reacting to them.
