The Saints will be eyeing their first win of the season against a Giants' side without Malik Nabers

New Orleans Saints vs New York Giants Preview, Betting Odds, and Predictions for the 2025-26 NFL Season Week 5

An early Sunday afternoon game in week 5 features the New Orleans Saints at home against the New York Giants. This is a clash between two struggling teams in the league, with the Saints still winless through 4 weeks of football, while the Giants just won their first game last week, giving them a 1-3 record.

The game between the Saints and the Giants is scheduled to take place at 1:00 p.m. ET at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Recommended bets and updated odds

Recommended Bets	FanDuel	BetMGM
Spencer Rattler 200+ passing yards	-118	-121
Cam Skattebo Anytime TD	-140	-136
Total Points Over 41.5	-120	-117

Analysis and Rationale

Spencer Rattle has been quite consistent in his passing yards per game. In three out of the four games he has played this season, Rattler has over 200 passing yards. The Giants are also allowing around 235 passing yards per game on defense.

The Giants have lost a huge piece on the offensive side of the ball with Malik Nabers out for the season following his ACL tear. Moreover, Jaxson Dart will be playing in just his second game as a starter; thus, the offense may run through Cam Skattebo in this game.

The over for total points at 41.5 seems like a good bet considering both defenses have allowed plenty of points to be scored. The Giants are allowing a little over 25 a game, while the Saints are allowing 30.3 per game.

New Orleans Saints vs New York Giants Preview

The Saints are 0-4 to start the season, and one of their major problems is the offense, which is averaging just 16.5 points per game, putting them in the bottom 5 in the league. On the other side of the ball, the defense is conceding 30.3 points per game, placing them in the bottom three.

The Giants have started the season 1-3, but with rookie Jaxson Dart under center, there is renewed hope in the Big Apple. Last week in his debut as a starter, Dart led the team to an impressive win over the Chargers. Unfortunately, though, the Giants’ WR1 Malik Nabers suffered an ACL tear and is now out for the season.

Week 5 Saints vs Giants Predictions for NFL 2025-26

A matchup of essentially two underdog teams, as neither the Saints nor the Giants has done well to start the season. New York won its first game last week with rookie Jaxson Dart playing his first game as a starter, but the loss of Malik Nabers could prove to be critical.

New Orleans is still searching for its first win of the year. Spencer Rattler has done a decent job for the Saints under center, but the Giants’ D-line could pose problems. A tough one to call, but we are going with the Giants because of their morale boosting recent win over the Chargers last week.

Our Prediction: New York Giants to win.
