this should be a great game!

- NYG 1st in yds allowed (210.6) , NO 6th in yds allowed (295.2)
- NO 3rd in PA (66), NYG T-4th (71)
- NYG 2nd in yds/play (4.2), NO 4th in yds/play (4.7)


and the o/u is 47.5...

The Giants are an incredible 19-3 in their last 22 road games and 17-2 ATS in their last 19 road games. The wrong team is favored here.

Going back to last season, the NYGs played on the road the Steelers and the Cards (2 teams who were in the SB) and beat them both. Beat the Ravens when the Ravens and Giants were thought to be the 2 best teams in the NFL.

Now the best team is the underdog and getting points too.

Some say the Giants have not played anyone. Just look at the trends. Dallas could have won their game by just stopping the NYGs on that last drive, hot knife through butter. Giants play better on the road than at home. Their last game should have a shutout.

This will be a good game, i'll be there sec. 605.

It's really hard to tell how good the Giants are. Their last 3 opponents have only won a combined 1 game out of 15 games played. The Giants are 5-0 against opponents with only a 24% winning percentage. The Saints are 4-0 against opponents with a 42% winning percentage. Not stellar but at least it gives some idea of what to expect.

My heart says Giants but my head says Saints............so I took the O 47.5

Saints will be the ones flat for this game coming out of a bye they are 0-3 under Payton, say what you want about the Giants soft schedule so far even though the skins and cowboys aren't the greatest teams, they were early season divisional games which make them a little more impressive victories, the saints haven't even played one divisional game, and the last two have been afc teams. 

This is the biggest game for both teams so far this year for playoff implications etc..  who will you trust,  the proven team over the last 2 + years or the team who is 4-0 with no divisional wins and have been a disappointment for 2+ years

do not make the same mistake people made betting against Denver at home in week 5.  4-0 teams will probably lose at some point.. but betting for them to lose at home because "they haven't played anyone" is BS.  Giants haven't blown anyone out, and the Saints went on the road to Philly and won.  If you HAVE to bet this game, take a 4-0 team that is playing at home with a line that's less than a TD.  Gambling 101.

Sit back with a drink and watch this one without any money on it and save five years on your lifespan. 

Yeah, because last year means a whole hell of a lot.  That's why the Bengals will never beat the Ravens!  Or the Steelers!  Or the Broncos will never beat the Pats!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.................

GL on your Giants pick.

 

QFT.  Stay away from this one.  lots of other easy games this weekend.  Take what you were gonna bet on this game and put it on the eagles vs raiders this week.

New Orleans stats off a …BYE

head to heart...  yeah Cincy got some good wins against those teams, has nothing to do with NYG @ NO  like I said in another post I don't think the Saints bye week is going to be a factor either way for the most part.  But if someone is going to say NYG will come out flat, It has to be mentioned, but it won't matter whoever wins it wont be because of bye anyway.

The one thing that is truly making me stay away from this game when it comes to sides is the defensive stats for the Giants when they play on turf. They are giving up a hundred yards more than the Saints in that category. I think it will factor into this matchup. 

But for someone who claims I didn't start watching football till this season, I would think you would know that Denver almost always beats the pats as of late, so you kinda contradicted your statement there but I know what you meant.

Hey Batman,

 Can you elaborate this a little more, sounds interesting.

I tried to copy and paste the table into this message but it wouldn't let me. If you look at the matchup though on the right hand side look for the Grass/Turf stats. 

In 5 games the Giants have only played one game on turf, that would be the game in Dallas. That was the only game that they had any real trouble defensively. On turf they give up avg 251 rushing yards compared to 82.5 given up by the Saints. Offensively they only avg. 97 yards on turf compared to the Saint's 155.

uhhhh... isn't meadowlands field turf?

Field turf is different than turf. Field turf is actually supposed to mimic grass. But it does beg the question why covers has them 3-0 on grass and 1-0 on turf.
