New York Giants at Chicago Bears: Game Info, Odds, Notes, and More

The Giants might not have the playoffs to play for this year, but they can help improve their draft position with a win today against the Chicago Bears.

Sort of, that is. Before today's game, the Giants, per Tankathon, are set to draft fifth overall and the Bears, who owe the Giants their first-round pick, eighth.

At a glance, regardless of what the Giants do this week, it looks like one pick will be helped, the other hurt. But the good news is there is still another game left and if nothing else, the Giants figure to have two picks in the top 1-0 regardless.

On a micro level, these last two games are a chance for everyone, coaches and players alike, to make a case to return for 2022, a year where there are sure to be sweeping changes on the roster and the coaching staff.

SI/Fan Nation's Bear Digest Publisher Gene Chamberlain offers some additional insight about the Chicago Bears, who host the Giants in Week 17.

Giants offensive line coach Rob Sale hasn't been one to mince words this season when it comes to members of the Giants offensive line. And in just a few words, Sale painted an unflattering picture of Isaiah Wilson.

The Giants had a strong group of receivers on paper, but they all shared one unfortunate thing in common that undermined their productivity.
