Oakland is likely to finish somewhere in the 9-7 to 7-9 range, but could get to 10-6 if they catch fire and win out.
New York is 2-9 on the season and has already been eliminated from playoff contention. The Giants lost their first five games of the season before beating Denver on Sunday night football in Week 6. However, they have lost four of five since beating the Broncos back in October. New York’s only other win was to Kansas City a few weeks ago.
