The Giants still look like the better team to Drew and Rob, but a five-point betting-line swing and Andrew Thomas missing two straight practices make this a much tougher Week 4 call than it looked earlier in the week. New York also has to weigh Arizona’s injuries, Malik Nabers still learning to trust his knee, and how Dennard Wilson plans to replace Brian Burns’ pressure without asking one player to become Brian Burns.

Does the five-point Cardinals-Giants line flip change the Giants pick?
Drew and Rob still take the Giants to win and cover as underdogs, while also expecting a lower-scoring game.
Before making that pick, the show gets into several developments that broke after the previous Giants-Cardinals preview. Kendrick Green visited the Giants as another veteran center option behind the ongoing John Michael Schmitz conversation. Joey Porter Jr. was traded to Dallas after weeks of Giants speculation, but the Cowboys gave up significant draft capital without first locking him into a new contract. That opens a bigger Giants question: if corner remains a position they are watching, is there another player they actually prefer?
Andrew Thomas then becomes the biggest injury concern after consecutive DNPs with a groin issue. The guys also cover Tyrone Tracy Jr., Deonte Banks, Tyler Nubin and Arizona’s own injury situation before getting into Wilson’s post-Burns pressure plan, Nabers’ comments about trusting his surgically repaired knee, the early evaluation of McCarthy, and Jevón Holland earning NFC Defensive Player of the Month.
Then it becomes the full NFL Week 4 picks show. Drew and Rob work through every remaining matchup, making winners, spread picks and totals while arguing through the injuries and matchup advantages that could actually swing each game. The slate includes Colts-Commanders in London, Patriots-Bills, Jets-Bears, Cowboys-Texans, Rams-Eagles, Packers-Buccaneers, Titans-Ravens, Jaguars-Bengals, Dolphins-Vikings, Chiefs-Raiders, Chargers-Seahawks, Broncos-49ers, Lions-Panthers and Falcons-Saints.
Can Buffalo punish New England’s turnovers? Can Houston finally get its first win against Dallas? Are the Rams about to expose Philadelphia? Can Tampa survive with an undrafted rookie quarterback? And are the 3-0 Raiders actually good enough to hang with Kansas City?
