Not gonna provide a long write-up here because some of the slimeballs on this site will find a way to it.
I am rolling with the Boys here?
Is it dangerous? Yes.
I think 2.5 is enough against a 4-6 team that has not proven enough.
The Giants have won 4 games in one of the most favorable 4 game stretches I have ever seen.
Let's look at the 4 game winning streak.
They beat:
The Vikings - No Ponder so Josh Freeman, fresh off the waiver wire, gets plugged in looking absolutely pathetic and Adrian Peterson is distracted with the worst of all family tragedies
The Eagles - Nick Foles? Mike Vick? No. Matt Barkley, a third stringer lost that game.
The Raiders - Played against a banged up Terrelle Pryor and no
Darren McFadden. Also needed a 60 yard pick late to set up the winning score.
The Packers - Scott Tolzien boys and girls.
Think about that. In the 4 victories it was against, a waiver wire QB, a 3rd stringer, an injured QB without a starting RB, and a backup QB that the team has so little confidence in that Matt Flynn was signed to the team. Matt Flynn...Wow.
There's not enough there for me to lay 2.5 to the Boys.
There's not enough there for me to lay 2.5 with a team that has been chirping all week about how they will VOW TO WIN this game and how 'blood will be spilled.'
There's not enough there for me to lay 2.5 to a team that has had two weeks to quietly stew in anger with one of the worst losses in the history of Cowboys football after giving up FORTY first down and 623 yards in prime time and are looking to rebound to take back control of the division.
Yes taking the Boys are dangerous. They are famous for failing in these big spots.
But remember, take Denver as a litmus test. Both these teams played the Broncos this year. Which team hung with them till the last second and which team was annihilated by them?
There's too much here to take the rested Boys off a bye instead of the alleged 'surging' Giants (disproven above).
The pick: Cowboys +2.5 over Giants
The witness: god
