Game of the Millenium: Giants at Saints

75557835LM_D047419032So far in this young NFL football odds season there has not been a bigger game than the matchup that will take place on Sunday at the Superdome.

The 5-0 Giants will come to town to battle the 4-0 Saints and when the dust finally settles there will be one less undefeated team in the NFL football odds.

How do you pick a winner in this one? Both teams are stellar and very well balanced. On offense they both run and pass the ball with great efficiency and both play superb defense that begins with pressure up front, plugging running lanes and secondaries that provide top coverage and create turnovers.

But the biggest difference in this game will be home field advantage and an extra week to prepare and game plan by the Saints. The Bye week is perhaps the most effective tool that NFL odds coordinators have and the Saints brain trust will put it to good use.

Eli Manning is also a bit dinged up so look for the Saints to try and get after him early. The Giants will look to establish the run early and if they’re successful they may be able to grind out an NFL odds victory.

More likely is that that after an extra week to study film the Saints impressive defense led by coordinator Greg Williams will find a way to plug the holes and put the burden on Manning’s shoulders. And as good as the Giants’ defense is, look for Drew Brees to have a monster game at home after going two games in a row without a TD pass.

Saints are favored by 3 points in the football odds and look like they should win this one.
