NOTE: Those that are able to take theGiants on the money line at -135, I strongly advise you to doso . I cant handle another 24-23 non cover win like last weekversus Denver.
The (4-2) New York Giants are coming off oneof their best wins under QB Eli Manning as they defeated the DenverBroncos 24-23 who were (5-1) prior to that loss and had also won5 straight. Many analysts continue to comment on how poor theGiants Defense is which I feel is a little unwarranted , especiallysince the Giants are technically an OT Dallas Field Goal awayfrom having a 5-1 record if anyone recalls. The Giants have the#1 offense in the entire NFL which will be matched against theRedskins Top Defense.

The Washington Redskins are also tied with theGiants at (4-2) and are coming off a 52 point massacre over theSan Fran 49ers. For those unaware, the 49ers have a rookie QBwho was in his 2nd career start and a defense which undoubtedlyis worse than many Division 1 College Defenses. Still, I givemuch respect to Joe Gibbs and particularly QB Mark Brunell whoseems to have rectified his career , looking like the Brunellof old when he was with the Jags. Despite, Washingtons huge winlast week, I am still baffled at how a team that averages 16 ppgcan be favored by almost 14? Well, I guess I missed the boat butIm actually glad that Washington blew up offensively. The Redskinswill NOT follow up their 52 pt explosion with another offensiveoutburst. The Skins bounce back to reality and the Giants defensekeeps them in check somewhere around their average, while theGiants Offense continues to shine. Giants win a close one herebut get the victory with the home field advantage being the keyfactor. Giants will win by a field goal in this close fought divisiongame.
