New Orleans and New York meet in Week 14 as the Saints make a last-minute push toward the postseason.
New Orleans is 4-8 on the year and one of the team’s bit by the injury bug. The Saints started 2-0 but lost eight of the next 10 games, including last week’s heartbreaker to the Rams (21-14). The Saints have won two of the past three games, so despite the 4-8 record, New Orleans is playing improved ball.
New York is 2-10 on the season and has lost seven straight contests and is winless at home (0-6). The Giants have lost four of the past five games by single digits, including a 27-20 loss on Thanksgiving at Dallas. With home games against the Saints, Ravens, and Colts -- the Giants are running out of opportunities to earn a win in front of the fans.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Malik Nabers to go Over his reception total against the Saints:
“Despite the rotation door at quarterback over the past month for New York, one thing has remained consistent and that’s Malik Nabers’ targets.
The No. 1 option for the Giants has caught six-plus targets in eight of 10 contests this season. Since returning from injury, Nabers has 40 receptions on 64 targets over six games and caught six or more passes in five straight.
Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito won’t change Nabers’ targets. With only 1-3 games remaining before Nabers is likely shut down to savor his health for next season, I like this spot for Nabers to get double-digit targets and go Over his receptions prop.”
