The New York Giants scouted a number of games ahead of their Week 12 clash, including Duke vs. North Carolina.

Six Free Press sports writers make score predictions for the Detroit Lions vs New York Giants game Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025 at Ford Field.

ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller recently proposed a trade scenario in which Cleveland would send the No. 3 overall pick and two third-rounders to New York for the No. 2 selection. In that scenario, the Browns would select Oregon QB Dante Moore, while the Giants would grab Miami Hurricanes right tackle Francis Mauigoa.

Week 12 of the NFL slate sees the Detroit Lions welcome the New York Giants to Ford Field for a Sunday afternoon game. The 6-4 Lions are looking to bounce back off a loss to the Eagles, while the 2-9 Giants attempt to avoid being the first team officially eliminated from postseason contention.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said Friday, Nov. 21, that Sam LaPorta recently underwent back surgery and likely will miss the rest of the year.

The Detroit Lions enter their Week 12 contest with the New York Giants knowing full well that one matchup could affect the outcome: the battle between Giants EDGE rusher Brian Burns and Detroit’s offensive tackles, Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker.

Giants’ fans had perhaps forgotten this was possible, but the offensive line has not been part of the team’s problem.
