The media (especially the NFL newtork) is trying its best to make this out to be a good game. They talk about Romo's thumb and Jessica Simpson. They talk about Eli being due. They talk about how the Giants beat Tampa. They talk about TO.

I don't think the Giants are for real. They will lose by double digits in Big D. I think Eli finds himself all alone on the sideline, with that sad droopy eyed look on his face, come the 2 minute warning, right after he has thrown his 3rd int. Dallas wins big.

Because Im sure most of them were over a td favorite, just like the boys. . . This has very little correlation, but i was just curious

Haven't seen it. You'd probably have to look it up on a game by game basis.
