In today’s NFL, it’s rare to see two teams end in a tie.

Unless you’re the New York Giants and Washington Commanders.

The NFC East division rivals tied with a final score of 27-27 in Week 5 at Northwest Stadium.

Ironically enough, it’s the second time in the last nine meetings that a Giants (3-1-1) and Commanders (1-3-1) game has resulted in a tie, with the last occasion coming in 2022 when there was a final score of 20-20 at MetLife Stadium.

The Giants are in control in the division as of now, with the Philadelphia Eagles dropping their third straight game this past Sunday in London, and the Dallas Cowboys being upset at home last Thursday night.

Big Blue returns home to face a reeling New Orleans Saints team (1-4) that has lost three straight games. The Saints have been outscored by their opponents,103-64, dating back to Week 3 and are coming off a 23-13 loss where they posted just 142 total yards against the 5-0 Minnesota Vikings.

Giants vs Saints Week 6 predictions, staff standings

Art Stapleton: 4-0-1

Dave Rivera: 3-1-1

Bert Bainbridge: 2-2-1

Chris Iseman: 2-2-1

Bob Jordan: 1-3-1

Brian Marron: 1-3-1

Mike Dougherty: 1-3-1

Here are our staff predictions for this Week 6 NFC matchup between Giants vs. Saints on Sunday:

Art Stapleton

The pick: Giants 23, Saints 16

Here’s why: When does a tie feel like a win? Well, somehow the Giants increased their first-place lead in the NFC East by a half-game. There is a reason the Giants believe, and his name is John Harbaugh, who has built a gritty team. The Giants have faced three brutal weather games in a row and are 2-0-1 in that stretch. The early forecast is for sun in North Jersey, where the Giants are undefeated. We’ll lean in that direction given the extremes both of these teams are experiencing right now. Expect the Giants to blitz the heck out of Saints QB Tyler Shough after the Vikings twisted him into a pretzel last week.

Bert Bainbridge

The pick: Giants 28, Saints 21

Here’s why: The Giants had no business tying last week against the Commanders. It hasn’t always been pretty for Big Blue, but I expect the offense to continue to roll in this one, as the face a Saints defense that’s been gashed the last three games. While the G-Men’s defense isn’t in the same echelon as the Vikings, they’ll still win this one by a touchdown.

Bob Jordan

The pick: Saints 28, Giants 6

Here’s why: Not calling for two field goals by the Giants’ rookie kicker, but rather two misses and also a miss on an extra point.

Dave Rivera

The pick: Giants 27, Saints 20

Here’s why: I knew I should’ve picked a tie last week. If Jameis Winston can consistently play the way he did in the second half and overtime of last week’s game, the Giants will put up their share of points. Of course, that’s a big ‘if.’

Mike Dougherty

The pick: Giants 21, Saints 20

Here’s why: There’s probably going to be more drama, but Jameis Winston and the Giants seem keep finding ways to make a couple of plays under stress to keep the early momentum going.

Brian Marron

The pick: Saints 23, Giants 20

Here’s why: At some point, the Giants are going to come out on the wrong side of these tight games that come down to the last play. It would have happened last week if Jayden Daniels’ brain didn’t malfunction. I’ll guess it finally happens this week against a desperate Saints team looking to salvage any hope for the rest of their season.

Chris Iseman

The pick: Giants 27, Saints 24

Here’s why: I think this is the type of game where the Harbaugh Effect becomes clear. The Giants will be the mentally tougher team against New Orleans and that’ll make a difference.
