MNF - Giants @ Boys

[Artdogg]

The game is more important to Dallas cause they are at home, if it were in NY it would be more important to the Giants. Right now these teams are very very close (on a neutral field), Dallas has the edge defensively and the Giants have it on offense. I like the under a good amount, both teams are going to look to run the ball a ton and its very difficult to put up a lot of points against the Cowboys in Dallas.

uh, do you know how the NFL works? Its MUCH easier to win division games at home, if the Giants lose this one they still have a good chance to cancel it out later in the year in a much better situation. If the Cowboys lose, they will have a hell of a time trying to get a win later in NY to earn their split. For example, the Cowboys blew their home game against the Redskins last year, and it was the reason they missed the playoffs. You gotta win your home division games cause those are the easy ones.

Anybody got Brandons Lang pick for this game, i personally like the Giants and the under

I don't get all the Dallas love this game.

NYG: 3-2
Opponent's record: 20-12
4 teams with winning records

Dallas: 3-2
Opponent's record: 12-20
1 team with winning record

NYG have already won on the road twice this year, vs Atlanta and Philadelphia (two very tough home teams) so I don't think playing in Dallas is going to intimidate them.

Common opponents:
Washington:
NYG Win 19-3 at home
Dallas Win 27-10 at home

Philadelphia:
NYG: Win 30-24 on the road
Dallas : Lose 38-24 on the road

I think NYG win this game handily.

Punker,

I dont see how the stats you posted reach the conclusion that the Giants win handily.

if you watched those games youd know the final score didnt reflect at all how the games went

[kyro]

I picked the Giants in the 3+1 pool where I am currently 5-1-1, so fading me is retarded.

Yes, I'm kidding.

Agreed. You should never make a decision based solely on random stats. There's more to interpret when handicapping, and I believe Dallas has played better football this year.

The Giants were hyped to be a Superbowl team by many, and they haven't shown that by far, regardless what a couple of numbers say, I'm talking about how they've looked on the field as a team.

I'm sticking with Dallas -3, I do believe it's very much more likely than NYG "winning this with ease" as so many have suggested. Guess we'll see.

The stats he posted don't show that the NYG will win "handily."

They are, however, far from random stats. Common opponents and strenght of schedule should play a role in handicapping, and the extent of which is debatable. To ignore it is wrong, IMO.

I won't be betting this game, but I think the Giants will win.
