Detroit Lions vs New York Giants – Free NFL Prediction and Picks – November 23, 2025

Match context: Detroit Lions vs New York Giants

The Giants look different since Mike Kafka took over, and despite the loss to Green Bay the offense showed a cohesion we hadn’t seen in weeks. Jameis Winston cut down on mistakes… by his standards, anyway. Tyrone Tracy Jr. was the engine, piling up over 130 combined yards. The catch? New York arrives in Detroit with a gutted defense and a pass rush missing several starters.

On the other side, the Lions come out of a nightmare vs the Eagles — Jared Goff completely off the boil — but their defense remains rock-solid at home. Detroit’s offense isn’t dead: Gibbs and Montgomery are still one of the NFC’s nastiest tandems. Going back to a more conventional game plan could blow apart a Giants defense that’s falling apart.

Keys to the duel: Detroit Lions vs New York Giants vs

The balance is simple: Detroit has too many offensive weapons against a New York defense that folds on the ground (nearly 150 rushing yards allowed per game). Gibbs should be the anchor of the game plan, especially since the Giants’ pass rush, without Thibodeaux and Adebo, loses a big chunk of its bite.

For the Giants it’s messier. Tracy’s their only reliable playmaker. Winston is basically a walking turnover. Without a line that can handle Aidan Hutchinson & co., the offense will spend more time backing up than moving forward. New York’s only play: make the game ugly, slow the pace, and hope for a couple of stops — Brian Burns is their lone dominant player right now.

Pick: Detroit Lions-12,5

Kafka brought a bit of order, but the talent gap — especially in the trenches — is way too wide. Detroit at home, after a grim performance, is exactly the kind of spot where Dan Campbell stomps the opposition to get the team back on track.

First, a word about our predictions

• What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot reading, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal out of nowhere… and the whole script can flip.
• Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it rarely is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
• Best advice: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it almost never ends well.
• Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it takes over your life, makes you anxious or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
• Ultimately, responsibility’s yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
• Essential reminder: betting’s forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral out of control (money losses, family strain, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.

No commitment from us

Our picks aren’t a contract. They have no legal standing. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet fails.

Info that’s changing

A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But between then and kickoff, a team’s lineup (like the Giants’) can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis can become outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.

Your role

Before you bet, check that gambling is legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
