The New York Giants<\/a> (2-4) will battle the Denver Broncos<\/a> (4-2) on Sunday afternoon at Empower Field at Mile High in their seventh game of the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n

Opening the week, the Giants<\/a> were listed as 7-point road underdogs<\/a>, and that’s where the spread remains as of this writing.<\/p>\n

How does the Giants<\/a> Wire staff see this Week 7 battle shaking out? Here’s a look at our picks and score predictions.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/Dan Benton: Broncos 20, Giants<\/a> 17<\/p>\n

This should be a defense-heavy game. Both teams are relatively low-scoring, and neither team surrenders many points (Giants stats are skewed by a Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys, which was an anomaly this season). Of course, in a defensive battle, you have to give the nod to Denver, who are more well-rounded defensively. It will be closer than Vegas thinks, but the Broncos ultimately take home win No. 5.<\/p>\n

A game between two clubs that have been playing low-scoring games all season — expect another one. The Giants put up an admirable fight but fall short. The lack of weapons against a top defense dooms Big Blue in a hostile environment. Close but no cigar, as they say. A moral victory for Giant fans, but\u00a0there’s\u00a0no column in the standings for those.<\/p>\n

Tyler Henry: Broncos 27, Giants 17<\/p>\n

I think this game could look a lot like the game against the Saints a couple of short weeks ago. I don’t think the Giants will have five consecutive turnovers, but I think the game will flip similarly to the one in New Orleans. I see the Giants taking an early lead in this one, feeding off the momentum from last week’s upset win against the Eagles. Ultimately, I think the Giants will have trouble moving the ball in the second half, and the Giants’ defense will be on the field a lot. I think the Broncos get a late field goal to put the game out of reach, and the Giants fall short in this one.<\/p>\n

Serena Burks: Broncos 23, Giants 21<\/p>\n

The Broncos are 7-point favorites at home. That they’re favorites isn’t a huge surprise, but I do think that Vegas underestimates the Dart\/Skattebo effect. They’ve won four games, but three of them were against the struggling Tennessee Titans, a Burrow-less Cincinnati Bengals team, and the winless New York Jets. Their other victory was over the Eagles, but they still allowed 4.1 yards per carry and 12.2 yards per reception. The Giants also beat the Eagles. Denver lost to the Chargers, who the Giants defeated in Jaxson Dart’s debut, and the surging Indianapolis Colts. The Broncos’ top 10 defense faces a big test against the Giants, and I think the Giants will surprise people this week. I’m giving the Broncos a slight edge simply for being at home, but it would not surprise me in the least if the Giants came away with a win.<\/p>\n
