At first glance the Broncos are a tempting play, a NFL home dog on a 4 game slide, the altitude, the late game start for the Giants, etc. However after looking at the Bronc's last 4 losses not only have they lost but have been beaten badly and outgained in all 4 contests. What stands out is the rushing yards, Denver has given up an average of 169 yds on the ground the last 4. The blueprint for beating the Bronco's has been laid and was very apparent in the last game as the Chargers had 203 rushing yards. They are usually much more inclined to pass the ball and only average 87 rushing yds per game for the season. The problem the Giants have had seems to have come from their secondary, they can't cover anybody. But after facing some of top QB's in the league over the last 5 weeks, K. Orten on a bum wheel is a welcome relief for the G-Men( C. Simms would be even better). I would be a little leary of either side in this contest. The G-Men should be a little out of wack with the travel and the empasis should be on the run. With the Bronco's QB situation they will be unable to take advantage of the Giants weakness. The home team is 2-8 under this season and I believe the under is the play here. GLTA and Happy Thanksgiving!

Spiderweb. The Raiders are 1-2 in Dallas since 1999.
I got my info from Gil Brandt (vice president of player personnel for the Cowboys from 1960-89, Sirius radio, NFL network) but i guess if you're a Dallas Cowbilly fan you know more than him.
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!

To be a little clearer, it will be 10:20PM at kickoff for the Giants on a short week after a barnburner with the Falcons. The 2H will start after midnight for them. I don't care how much they try to adjust this week, mistakes in judgement will occur in this thin air with a raucous crowd.
lol actually itll be 820 PM for the giants at kickoff...times are EST
