Week 5 Preview and Prediction: Seattle Seahawks vs New York Giants

The Seattle Seahawks are coming off their first loss of the 2024 season, and will look to get back into the win column with a victory over the New York Football Giants. Seattle (3-1) is hosting New York (1-3) for the first time since the 2022 season, but did play them last year on Monday Night Football in the meadowlands. Both games were convincing wins for the the Seahawks.

Such could be the case for Seattle again in the third-straight meeting between these two teams in as many years. The Giants are, once again, looking like one of the worst teams in football. Quarterback Daniel Jones and the offense are an unthreatening mess, while their defense struggles to stop just about anyone.

New York’s offense is going to be even more toothless on Sunday, as they will be without star rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Devin Singletary. Not exactly two players you want out, let alone against a Seahawks defense getting considerably healthier. Although Boye Mafe and Byron Murphy II are out, Seattle will be getting back Jerome Baker, Uchenna Nwosu, and Julian Love and Leonard Williams who will face their former team.

Geno Smith and the Seahawks offense, on the other hand, is coming off a red-hot performance against the Detroit Lions. Seattle played their most complete game of the season, offensively, and it was dynamic. They should face little resistance from New York, a team who feels like they are already on the verge of calling 2024 another lost season.

This is the NFL, and I hate to pick a game to be a blowout, but with how both teams are at the moment, it feels wrong to pick anyone but the Seahawks convincingly.

Prediction: Seahawks over Giants 28-10
