New York at Tampa Bay (09/27/2009)

Giants

What sense does that make?

NYG are 22-6 ATS in their last 28 road games.

I was gonna' throw out that Road cover stat but pa-picks beat me to it.

Colin Cowherd leaked something similar on his show last week. 
18 of last 20 road covers or straight up wins.

My argument against the letdown is Coach Grandpa . . . .

New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

When everybody thought that the Giants would have some problems due to Plaxico Burress absence, but the team has done well both on the Offense and on the Defense, and for what I've seen, they maybe have with the Ravens the stronger NFL's set of players at the moment in all the sectors.

The Defense is playing very well and confident both on the Rushing Game and on the Passing Game as well. Obviously we can say that Dallas on their last game massacred the Giants with their Rushing Game, but this was a consequence of the Giants head coach defensive options concerning the Cowboys' Passing Game, which left the Giants D opened to the opponent's Rushing Game, which will not happen on this game and the team will perform much better on their defensive end. Offensively speaking, I think the Giants will use a lot more their Ground Offense in the early game and when occasion arises, they will switch to their Passing Game.

What can I tell You about the Buccanneers? Tampa Bay has performed quite well on the offensive end, but in this game they will face a great Defense and the Bucs O will not have an easy task ahead. However, their weak spot in on their Defense, besides an important missing player, they show enormous problems both against the Rushing Game and against the Passing Game as well, and when that happens against the Giants, defeat is a certain outcome.

With this mismatch against the Buccaneers on their defensive end, with the Giants mentaly very strong, we can expect them to win Big this game.


Pick: New York Giants -6 -110 (1,91) Bookmaker (Diamond) / NYG -6,5 -103 (1,971) Pinnacle

Giants are banged up. Giants haven't beaten anyone by 6.5.

NYG are ranked 8 in RUSH offense
TB is ranked 3 in RUSH defense

TB is ranked 6 in Rush offense
NYG are ranked 24 in Rush Defense

TB at home, Giants figuring on a W.  Too tight.

Am I looking at too much??

Early lean was NYG, but seriously considering TB now.

01/06/08	NYG 24 - TB 14	NYG 3	U 39.5
10/29/06	TB 3 - NYG 17	NYG -9.5	U 38.5

11/03/85	TB 20 - NYG 22	TB 12	U 44.5	Not once have they scored more than todays total, but that really has nothing to do with todays game

 

Scares me a littile Colonel!!!! I like the G-Men in a blow out here.  Bucs D is not that good and will get proven and dismantled today I think with a weak secondary.

Gl to All!!!

Giants look like a good play here. Even with all the injuries I think they're a TD better than Tampa Bay.
