Our buns will be crazy this week. I was afraid this morning to see that the team's handicaps have stabilized and I really can not understand the bite that the bouts have been eating with some teams that have a big name, but their form and their racing performance does not correspond to the that I see.
Let's go more closely with the fights that I see as the most talented players to go to this week:
NY Giants (Away) @ Cincinnati Bengals (Home)
Before starting to analyze this race, let's start with an important statistic. The Giants have not missed an ongoing second game in 18 games in which they missed the previous game. We recall that the previous game lost to Steelers at their home with very modest performance. So the chances of winning in this fight are quite high. Experienced Eli Manning knows to react well under pressure, especially after a bad result last week, and I believe he will find the automations he needs to win the Giants team. In addition, the Giants, who are blamed for their good performance, especially in off-game games, will impose the necessary pressure on Andy Dalton and AJ Green.

On the other hand, Cincinnati is playing his last card, losing the previous game from Broncos in Cincinnati. If he does not win and this game will be able to farewell that ambitions he could have for this season. Cincinnati will not appear with particular absences in this game, but generally I do not think they have the talent or the experience to win a game of such importance.
I think the -3.5 handicaps to the Giants are very small and I think they will win with at least one touchdown difference. In other circumstances, especially if the game was at the beginning of the season, I would have equal chances for victory, but at this stage of the championship, experienced Tom Coughlin will not let the Giants fall into the trap.
Selection: NY Giants (-3.5) - 1.91 performance
Atlanta Falcons (Away) @ New Orleans Saints (Home)
One of the most beautiful games in my opinion will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana this week, where the undefeated Atlanta Falcons (8-0) and the New Orleans Saints (3-5) are rewarded.
This game has the characteristic that despite their bad start New Orleans Saints with the heavy and unfair in their opinion punishment at the beginning of the championship, have seen important points of improvement and recovery in the last games. In their last fight, they won the Philadelphia Eagles with excellent defensive performance, but also Michael Vick's evil toy, which gives them an uplifting morale for the sequel. But if they want to be lucky for the playoffs this year, this is one of the games they have to win at all costs.
(New Orleans Saints)
On the other hand, let's say about the Falcons. They have the only undefeated run at the NFL this year and have already secured one place for the 8 playoffs with victories this year. However, having seen all of their games, I do not consider them a team that is unbeatable. On the contrary, I think they have several weaknesses especially in the attack by having played with moderate to under moderate teams. Despite their undefeated record, I think they are inferior to the Giants, Texans and Steelers.
In summary, I think it will surprise you in this game and the Saints will be out winners of this game, so the + 2.5 spread that gives them comes to me candy. In addition during the championship Falcons run the ball around 300 yards per game while New Orleans close to 280 yards, which leads me to believe the game will be in high score. Based on this I will choose the 53 and 2 groups in this game.
Option: New Orleans Saints + 2.5 - 1.91 and Over performance 53 - 1.91 performance
Dallas Cowboys (Away) @ Philadelphia Eagles (Home)
Personally this game for me is the strongest card of the week. I honestly can not understand the logic with which the agencies give +2 spread to the Philadelphia Eagles when both teams have the same record of 3 wins and 5 losses and with very mediocre to poor performances. I expected this spread to be in PK as both teams are about equal and need the win otherwise they can say goodbye to the season before it ends well.
(Michael Vick)
I will not overdo this game simply my choice will be based on the following elements:
- The Philadelphia Eagles play in front of their audience.
- The Eagles have a positive tradition over the last few years against the Cowboys
- Eagles and Michael Vick will make a few mistakes from Tony Romo and Cowboys
- The Cowboys are the most compliments of such players and they have gained the title of loser over the last decade.
- The Cowboys attack will betray them for multiple times this year
Overall, I believe that not only the Eagles will spread, but they will win this game and send Dallas back to Texas to analyze again what went wrong this year as well.
Option: Philadelphia Eagles + 2 - 1.91 performance
Have a good week!
