MORE STATISTICS & MY ANALYSIS ON THE GAME OVERALL
>>
New York 4-2 straight up when playing on the road this season but a dismal 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games. The New Orleans Saints on the other hand look posed to make another run in the playoffs having gone 7-3 on the year and coming off two straight wins. Although the team had a "Who Dat?" moment three weeks ago in a 21-31 loss to the St. Louis Rams, the Saints were able to bounce back with wins over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons before heading into a bye week. New Orleans was able to escape with a 26-23 overtime victory in Atlanta and also covered the spread as 1-point road underdogs to go 6-4 ATS on the year.
QB Drew Brees threw 30/43 for 322-yards and two touchdowns in the win while WR Marques Colston had 8-receptions for 113-yards but couldn't find the end-zone. Looking at the betting trends for Giants vs Saints
odds have New Orleans 7-1 overall when playing at home and 2-1-0 ATS in head to head match-ups since 2001.Online bookmakers have also listed the Saints as -360 favorites at home on the money line while the Giants would return +280 for the stunning upset on the road. Having gone 6-4 on the year, New York is coming off losses to the San Francisco 49ers and last week to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Giants fell 10-17 to Philly last Sunday only managing one touchdown in the loss and also failed to cover the spread as 5.5-point home favorites to go 4-5-1 ATS on the season.
QB Eli Manning threw 18/35 for 264-yards with a TD and an INT to finish the night with a 74.0 rating. In order for New York to pull off the upset tonight in 2011 Monday night football predictions as touchdown underdogs, the offensive line will need to give Manning time to throw as the New Orleans native has already been sacked 19-times this year while the running game is second to last in rushing (83.2-yards per game).
That being said, reports out of Vegas have RB Ahmad Bradshaw expected to make the start tonight after missing three straight games with a foot injury.
I知 going to try the safer play of the under in hopes that both offenses struggle to score!!!.I知 taking the under of 51.
