WEEK 6 - THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL SPECIAL, One man's opinion on the NY Giants vs the NE Patriots

mjp28

Well One man knows a guy who was dumb enough to draft Saquon Barkley in his FL Draft with the very first pick.....ok it was One man so what. lol. But I don't think Barkley and 2 other #1 picks would help the Giants in this game.

The Giants are off an 18-point home loss to a pretty good team, the Vikings. Five days later, they are on the road against a better team, the Patriots. Why should it go any better? Why shouldn’t it go worse? They have two more offensive injury absences in addition to RB Saquon Barkley: TE Evan Engram and WR Sterling Sheperd are out.

Unless the Patriots get sloppy with the ball in the rain and wind that is forecast, the Giants shouldn’t do much on offense. One of the most consistent traits displayed by the Patriots is not being sloppy with the ball and making the opponentndo bad things with it.

SO what to do? Easy again the G-men lost by 18 last week make it 21+ tonight TAKE NE -16.5 and well the O/U is 43 the Pats will put up 35+ so go OVER but don't bet the wife's whole paycheck on it.

Oh if you're having a tough time making up your mind One man just called me with this little gem to think about:

Hard to imagine what the NFL had in mind making this non-conference game a stand-alone nationally televised matchup. The Patriots are 40-17-2 (70 percent) ATS in their last 59 home games. They have won an NFL-high 17 in a row in Foxboro. Bill Belichick swallows up rookie quarterbacks.

Go ahead bet the wife's whole paycheck on this one! It's in the bag.

Tom Brady might go all Wayne Brady on the Giants if they somehow beat him again...

the Giants secondary is about to get rained on by Brady...but i'm interested in some pre-scouting, how Scarnecchia somehow keeps Brady protected with bi-weekly injuries to this OL..Giants aren't that bad up front..Pats not bad at C & both G's..might start with watching Pat's new tackle play..?

And they stop NE in the red zone on 4th down........hmmmmm.

good mark by side judge ref.. marked ball right at spot ball hit turf..no spot foot tricks. Brady was hit 3 times by Bills..9 times by skins last week..Bills 0 sacks..Skins 4 sacks..Giants got 1 sack on new Pats LT Marshall Newhouse.. who drew up a pick to another pick

mjp28

The underdog Giants are playing inspired football......how long can they hold this up?

Well speaking about Vegas and such things 21 + 14 = 35, the OVER is 43 so they only need 8+ looks like that should be in the bag.

And the NE -16.5 well I hope they just don't play good enough to win......not the Belichik and Brady way. Actually the Giants are playing way over their heads.

And the fix? How do you fix football? I've never seen or heard of it being done plus there's a zillion cameras on the game watching every little move. You can't even hide a no handshake. . Lines are set by the many, many professional sportsbooks head guys and the public's betting moves the lines.

Hoops very rare but with 5 guys maybe 1 or 2 on the take it's possible but not likely.

A Patriots doink.....by the formerly good Nugent from The OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY.

........oh the laces weren't out!!!

mjp28

What a sloppy game. Three NE drives end in -0- points and less than 7 minutes left.

The Patriots need a FG to cover the side and over. Hmmmmm.

mjp28

Well I had Michel and Edelman but Brady hogged the TDs.
