Giants Can Still Get the No. 1 Pick if They Lose to the Cowboys and Raiders Beat Chiefs
The Giants must lose at home and rely on a Raiders win plus at least two other teams winning for a chance at the top draft pick, per SportsLine projections.
- On Sunday, the New York Giants must lose at home to the Dallas Cowboys, and Las Vegas Raiders need to beat Kansas City, with other outcomes also required.
- After routing Las Vegas last weekend, the Giants made their path to No. 1 more complicated, as the Raiders haven't won since Oct. 12, compounding the unusual scenario.
- SportsLine's Inside the Lines model, which runs 10,000 simulations, projects the Chiefs to win while assigning Las Vegas a 20% chance and New York 74% in the key matchup, even showing a 19-15 Raiders loss but still forecasting Las Vegas to land the No. 1 pick.
- Las Vegas would clinch the No. 1 pick with a loss or tie against Kansas City, marking only their second top selection since the 2006 Raiders season, while the Giants would likely target a defender like Arvell Reese given Jaxson Dart's rise last year.
- Series trends and past draft misfires frame why both franchises view the weekend's results as consequential, with the Giants' all-time series skid reaching 10 games on Sunday.
