New York takes the trip across the country to face the impressive Seattle Seahawks. It is a long week vs short rest situation but also an east coast vs west coast situation. At the end of the day, you can buy or sell whatever narrative you would like and one of them has to come through. Below, we will go through the Giants Seahawks preview and finish with the Giants Seahawks prediction.
New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks Preview and Predictions
The Giants were one drive away from defeating there NFC East rivals in the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. They had a few key drops in that game but they truly have looked a lot better since week one. Although they have to take the long flight to Seattle, they get the benefit of the doubt coming off the long week. Also, this is a 4:25 EST kickoff which should be no problem for the Giants.

Seattle is coming off the late Monday Night Kickoff in Detroit. What a game that was as they marched up and down the field for three quarters with the elite Lions offense but fell short in the end. Truly, Seattle is looking better than I figured they would coming into the season. You know what you are getting from Geno Smith, which is simply enough to win football games.
Giants +6.5
Everyone is going to be buying Seattle after that Monday Night loss in Detroit. They saw how explosive Seattle looked and while that is true, this is too many points. The Giants are an improving team and getting more confident on a weekly basis. The last time Seattle was a six-point favorites was in week one against Denver. Although they won by 6, they did everything in there power to lose that football game. The Seahawks have had their moments, but they are not a great football team and are laying too much here.
Wan’dale Robinson Anytime Touchdown
It is clear the WR1 for the Giants is Malik Nabers and that is leaving Robinson with some opportunity as defenses are focusing on Nabers. He had many chances to make plays last week against the Cowboys but could not haul in the passes. Look for Jones to continue to target Robinson and find the endzone this week.
