The New Orleans Saints (4-8) will try to keep their slim playoff hopes afloat when they face the New York Giants (2-10) on Sunday afternoon. New Orleans had its two-game winning streak snapped in a 21-14 loss to the Rams last week, falling two games back of Atlanta and Tampa Bay in the NFC South standings. New York is riding a seven-game losing streak after falling to Dallas on Thanksgiving in a 27-20 final. The Giants are in last place in the NFC East and are tied with the Jaguars and Raiders for the worst record in the NFL. Malik Nabers (groin) is questionable for New York.

Why the Giants can cover
New York has been competitive in most games during its losing streak, with four of its last five losses coming by one possession. The Giants lost to the Cowboys by a touchdown on Thanksgiving, as they were unable to overcome a second-quarter pick six. Quarterback Drew Lock made his first start of the season, completing 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards. Lock is making another start
Backup Tommy DeVito is dealing with a right forearm injury but is available as well. Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. leads the rushing attack with 619 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 4.95 yards per carry. He has gone over 100 rushing yards on four occasions this season, and the Giants have covered the spread in five of their last six games. See which team to pick here.
Why the Saints can cover
New Orleans is getting set for its first road game since early November, when it lost to Carolina by one point. The Saints bounced back with wins over the Falcons and Browns before losing to the Rams by a touchdown last week. They are still just two games back of Atlanta and Tampa Bay in the NFC South, making this a must-win game.
Running back Alvin Kamara had 112 rushing yards on 23 carries against the Rams, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. He has averaged at least four yards per carry in four of his last five games, and he is facing a New York run defense that is fourth worst in the NFL, allowing 145.8 rushing yards per game. The Giants have failed to cover the spread in all seven games during their losing streak, and they have only covered twice in their last nine games against the Saints. See which team to pick here.
