Giants vs. Bengals: NFL experts make Week 6 picks

The New York Giants (2-3) will host the Cincinnati Bengals (1-4) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday night.

Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 3.5-point home underdogs and that’s where the spread remains as of this writing.

Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 6 matchup:

Expert Pick Score (if applicable)
Dan Graziano (ESPN) Bengals N/A
Matt Bowen (ESPN) Bengals N/A
Seth Wickersham (ESPN) Bengals N/A
Pete Prisco (CBS) Bengals 34-28
John Breech (CBS) Bengals 30-27
Jordan Dajani (CBS) Bengals 23-20
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) Bengals 33-27
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) Bengals 30-13
Bill Bender (Sporting News) Bengals  27-21
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) Bengals  30-27

The above panel unanimously picks against the Giants for the second consecutive week. And while most see it as a close, one-score game, Lorenzo Reyes of USA TODAY anticipates the Bengals blowing the doors off Big Blue in primetime.

Other experts and analysts from around the league agree, although there is a small subsection that believes the Giants will go back-to-back with upsets. 91 percent predict a Bengals victory, per NFL Pickwatch.

Fans are slightly less convinced with just eight percent picking the Giants to win.
