This seems to be one of Week 5’s greatest mismatches on paper. The Giants have scored the fewest points in the NFC this season (60), while the Seahawks are among the top teams in the conference.
Luckily for the Giants, Sundays are unpredictable and games aren’t decided on paper. Take a look at our five audacious game predictions.
Daniel Jones will have his first 300-yard throwing game of the season
Daniel Jones last passed for 300 yards in a game during New York’s 31-28 comeback victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 of the previous season. He will take on the seventh-best passing defense in the NFL this week in the Seahawks secondary, which allows 167 yards per game through the air.
As if playing the defense of Seattle wasn’t tough enough, Malik Nabers, who missed practice on Thursday because of a concussion, may be out for the Giants.
It looks like Jones is going to have a difficult day. However, many will be taken aback when the 27-year-old records his first 300-passing game of the year.
Daniel Jones will face another pick-six from Devon Witherspoon.
In Seattle’s 24-3 victory against Jones, rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon produced the play of the game by picking him off for a 97-yard touchdown return. This was the clubs’ first meeting of the season.
Remarkably, in his brief career, Witherspoon has only registered one interception to far. Although Jones has improved this season in minimizing his turnovers, the 23-year-old cornerback will record another pick-six on Sunday.
