Free Money in Week 5 (1 Viewer)

Watching Eli Manning versus Phili the other night has me convinced that I would NEVER bet on the Giants while the other Manning is at the helm. Their offense looked atrocious. :thumbup:

He'll look like Peyton this week. The Jets have a high school defense.:cue Chase telling me that they're actually pretty good:
 
This line would probably be closer to 7 if it weren't for the fact that the stadium is going to have about 1/3 Jet fans. The fact that it's a "road" game in their own stadium is what is making this line closer than it should be, IMO.

 
Agree. I'd expect the Giants to win by 2 TDs, but I won't put money on it. Why?

1) Outside of last week, the Giants defense has been worse than the Jets. Pennington could throw for 3 TDs.

2) For anyone that has watched him, Eli is unpredictible. He could throw for 400 yards and 5 touchdowns against the Jets, or it could be 175 yards and 3 interceptions.

3) The Giants are still without their primary RB and their top WR is nicked.

Here's a surprising stat:

Giants average 99 rushing yards and 223 passing yards a game

Jets average 83 rushing yards and 200 passing yards a game

Offensivley, that's only an average of 40 yards more a game

Defensively, Giants allow 106 rushing yards and 220 passing yards a game

Jets allow 112 rushing yards and 253 passing yards a game

Offensivley, that's also only an average of 40 yards more a game

While the numbers look like the Giants should win by a small magin, the reason I wouldn't bet on this one is because of the unpredictability of Eli.

That said, I'm starting Eli over Favre this week...

 
Sorry, thought this was a "Free Maroney" thread. My bad! ;)

Edit to add:

Raider -- Sorry! Just couldn't help myself!
