The New York Giants<\/a> (2-6) host the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in Week 9.<\/p>\n

Opening the week, the Giants<\/a> were listed as 2.5-point home underdogs<\/a>, and that’s precisely where the spread remains as of this writing.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 9 matchup:<\/p>\n

It should come as no surprise that the 49ers are heavily favored by the above panel for Sunday’s Week 9 game, but kudos to Pete Prisco for going out on a limb and picking the Giants<\/a>. It may not work out for him, but at least someone has faith in rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.<\/p>\n
