    Can the Giants lose?

    Can the Giants lose at home against the Browns? It's the NFL and anything can happen but does anybody give the Browns more than a 5% chance of winning straight up? I would've expected the ML to be a lot higher for the Giants at home. Am I missing something?

    Yes, the Giants can lose. But, it's a nice number and spot for the Giants who are hosting a very bad team. Tease and ML.

    I see Coughlin putting his team in a better spot than they were in last week losing by a missed fg. I hope we see the team that showed up against Carolina.

    Browns get their first win today. Cleveland has been in every game this season going 3-1 ATS. Although Haden is serving his last game of a 4 game suspension, their D has not played bad at all. Giants tend to struggle at home and without Nicks. I love the points with Cleveland and believe they get their first win this season. BOL

    Giants are 7-1 without Nicks, you're clearly talking out of your ass.

    One interesting angle in this game is the familiarity of the coaching staffs. Brown's OC Brad Childress is an disciple of Giant's longtime division rival Andy Reid, if the Giants can shut down the Eagle's offense in Philly, what chance does Philly "lite" have when the Giants have a roaring home crowd? Also, Brown's DC Dick Jauron was a disciple of Tom Coughlin for 5 years back in the Jacksonville days, whatever the Browns are gonna show Eli is going to be stuff that Eli has seen every day for years in practice.

    This angle favors the Giants, who already have the superior team and home field, also neutralize every strategy nuance.

    Giants are banged up. Took the Clowns + the 9. Think it will be a touchdown game at most.

    Shermer coached under Reid for 10 years with the Eagles right alongside Childress, who still calls the plays, right?

    Factoring in Shermer only strengthens my case.

    I dont see the Giants losing here. Cleveland might have hung in every game this season but i dont see them causing Eli any trouble at all and the Giants are gona win if the browns cant stop them form scoring.

    In my Last Man Standing pools, just about everybody is grabbing them.

    I'm going with the Cleveland Browns +8

    I got $50 on them to cover

    But, I'm in a Last Man Standing pool($900)
    I'm one of 7 left(I took Minny)
    4 picked the Giants, so that's why I would love the outright upset

    I wouldn't feel comfortable with a bet on either side until the game is over.
