ATL wins this one

I haven't capped yet, but not sure I would trust Giants as a road favorite.

I took the o43 at cris . . .

That's what I thought last week when I saw the Packers only -3 at home vs. the Bears. Didn't the Falcons give the Titans a little trouble this weekend?

falcons keep this one close eli does not fair well in hostle enviorments against a fast defense

I watched the entire Atl/ Tenn Game on the nfl ticket this past week. The game should of never been that close. Atl is a bad team period! they can not move the ball period and especially in the redzone where they are worse then pathetic. Tenn played a awful turnover prone game and still won (one of a which a fumble atl returned to the house) Joey Harrington is still as awful as ever . The only postive I see for the Atl is they seem to play inspired D most of the time but eventually their offense brings down the whole team. With all this being said the Giants seem to not show up sometimes in very winable games. But to throw any serious loot on a pathetic Atl team would be a mistake in my opinion!

The only thing that gets me worried is Eli throwing tons of picks, but if the Gmen get a solid ground game going this game is not even close

I also watched that whole game, and agree with everything you said except Atlanta with all those turnovers should have won the game, despite Joey Harrington who is terrible.

Atlanta's defense is decent, and I'd except Leftwich to start at QB. That should help a little, likely very little.

Giants never are a good play when they start winning. Their history is they lose games like this under Coughlin.

Leftwich was horrible last game he came in and i dont expect him to play well if he starts

I think the Giants cover this one easy.

Joey Harrington so far has played his best at home this year and the Giants secondary has been playing better, but I think this the week the Giants secondary looks like the secondary that got exposed against the Cowboys and Packers.

Never Never Never trust the Giants away.

A few bits about this game:

- The Falcons Run D isn't that great its just you can pass on them hence teams don't try as many Run plays
- The Giants win games by Running first to set up the throw
- The Giants D isn't very good and appears to be patchy in games.
- Harrington has his games and has some weapons around him

So Falcons can win if they stop the Run and I belive score some points

I actually think Atlanta wins this pretty easily.

Winning pretty easily and ATL is like oil and water...

Dark Horse · 10-11-07, 01:51 AM

I have ATL covering. For me they're a home dog with an overlay. One of the better situations.

Thomasha7 · 10-11-07, 01:53 AM

It wasn't long ago that the Giants had 12 sacks in one game against the Eagles. So they have the potential. As much as I'm not a Giants fan I also don't care for the Falcons. Giants win by at least 10 or more. With at least five sacks. Yes Eli doesn't do well very often, but I feel he'll pull through on this one.

The Eagles Off line was so injuried that game. Doesn't count. Giants are up and down. No way this is an easy win for the Giants.

This could be a trap game for NYG. Take ATL.

Skidcom · 10-11-07, 08:04 AM

Despite its inability to take advantage of numerous opportunities the Falcons, as we all know, did manage to cover last week. Maybe not an overlay at +3 but definitely worth teasing with several other plays to get over that key number. Falcons stumble into a cover in an ugly game.that's my humble opinion

Mr Handicapable · 10-11-07, 03:31 PM

Over is the play here IMO

I love the Over (43.5) in this game. The Giants scored 35 last week with the big boy Jacobs back in the lineup. I don't think it was a coincidence! He just brings a physical factor that defenses have to deal with! Atlanta in particular is very small and could get manhandled! Not to mention...Plaxico gets a jump ball TD every week from Peyton's little bro. At the same time home dogs can be scary to play against in the NFL (ask Tony Romo), so I like the Over! Atlanta has a new pass based offense (ala Louisville) under Petrino and Harrington/Gary Coleman have enough weapons to hang around. They scored 46 points in their 2 home games (both Over). I like the Giants with the Over in a parlay!
