The New York Giants (1-1) will take on the Tennessee Titans (0-2) on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in their third game of the 2026 regular season.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 6-point home favorites, but that spread has significantly worsened with New York at -2.5 as of this writing.
How does the Giants Wire staff see this Week 3 battle shaking out? Here's a look at our picks and score predictions.
Dan Benton: Giants 16, Titans 7
Given the early weather forecast, this game has a chance to be ugly. Heavy rains and gusty winds will make throwing the ball difficult, and kickoffs and field goals even more difficult. That's actually good news for the Giants, who will be able to ride running back Cam Skattebo until the wheels come off. So long as they can prevent
Jeffery Simmons from wrecking the game, Jameis Winston & Co. will come out with a win.
John Fennelly: Giants 17, Titans 10
Tennessee has one of the worst-performing offenses in the NFL, which gives the Giants a chance in this game. The weather will be bad, which will also keep the score down. There's lots of familiarity between the two teams, and nobody is going to fool anyone here. I'll go with the home crowd and the emotion they'll bring.
Tyler Henry: Giants 24, Titans 20
I think the Giants will get it together against a struggling Titans team. I expect the Giants to benefit heavily from getting almost a week's worth of practice with Jameis Winston playing with the first-team offense, and I think Winston will look much more prepared than he did coming in mid-game on Monday Night Football. The Giants will be coming back home, where their home crowd was electric the last time they were home in Week 1. I believe John Harbaugh will have his team ready to face the adversity presented when Jaxson Dart was lost for the season. Ultimately, I expect the Giants to come out on top in this one in a back-and-forth ugly game at MetLife Stadium.
Serena Burks: Giants 23, Titans 20
The Titans and the Giants find themselves in similar situations this season. Both teams have entirely new coaching staffs. Both teams had high draft picks. Both teams entered the season with a ton of hope, and both teams have been frustrated with the start of their seasons. The Giants' frustration isn't about winning and losing, though; it's about the loss of Jaxson Dart and the injury to Brian Burns. Those losses hurt, but the Titans have yet to win a game. They came close against the Eagles last Sunday, but couldn't stop a game-winning drive in the final two minutes of play. This is going to be a competitive game, but the Giants win.
Kevin Hickey: Giants 17, Titans 16
The Giants will unfortunately be without quarterback Jaxson Dart after his season-ending knee injury. Even so, the Giants should be able to pull out a win at home in this one. They will need Jameis Winston to provide a better outing than what he showed in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. Meanwhile, Abdul Carter will have to step up in the potential absence of Brian Burns, who is dealing with an ankle injury. The Giants lean on the run game enough to pull out a win, but I'm expecting it to be a sloppy victory.
Larry Brown: Giants 20, Titans 14
The New York Giants will face off against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season. While Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams is a good point of reference for offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, reserve quarterback James Winston has had an entire week to prepare for a Titans defense that simply isn’t necessarily premier.
Nagy will likely utilize running back Cameron Skattebo to penetrate the Titans' run defense. As long as the Giants can keep the Titans from scoring 21 or more points, they should come out victorious. I'll take the Giants in this one.
Matt Legros: Giants 27, Titans 18
Jameis Winston makes a statement in the game, throwing for over 250 yards and two touchdowns to one interception. Isaiah Likely has another big game, and rookie Malachi Fields posts a career day. Titans quarterback Cam Ward faces pressure from the Giants’ defensive attack all game and ultimately suffers a loss at the hands of the John Harbaugh-led team.
