A week after they were picked to win unanimously, the Giants now find themselves on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Not only are none of the above experts taking Big Blue in Week 3, but none of them even anticipate the Giants keeping it within striking distance.
That trend continued outside of the above panel. According to NFL Pickwatch, 99 percent of all fans picked the 49ers as their lock to win on Thursday night. 100 percent of all experts also took San Francisco.
That’s about as lopsided as we’ve ever seen it.
