NFL experts make Week 15 picks
The New York Giants (5-8) will visit the New Orleans Saints (6-7) at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on Sunday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 5-point road underdogs and it’s only gotten worse since then. As of this writing, the Giants are +6.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 15 matchup.

Mike Clay (ESPN) | Saints | N/A |
Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Saints | N/A |
Pete Prisco (CBS) | Saints | 21-10 |
John Breech (CBS) | Saints | 23-17 |
Jordan Dajani (CBS) | Saints | 27-17 |
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Saints | 20-17 |
Jarrett Bell (USA TODAY) | Saints | 23-20 |

A week removed from the entire above panel picking the Green Bay Packers to win, they are doubling down and going with the Saints unanimously.
That comes as a legitimate surprise given that the Giants have shown marked improvement over their past three games, while New Orleans is dealing with in-fighting and are on the verge of mutiny.
Perhaps more surprising than the overwhelming Giants doubt is the belief that the Saints will do what the Packers couldn’t — not just beat Big Blue, but beat them soundly. Multiple above experts believe New Orleans will cover the spread and defeat New York by more than a touchdown.
Other experts and insiders from around the league aren’t nearly as bullish on the Saints but are still picking them to win at a 68 percent clip, according to NFL Pickwatch.
Fans are far more in line with our above panel, picking New Orleans to win at an 80 percent clip.
