2012 NFL Week 1 Predictions: Cowboys vs Giants Betting Odds

TalkProFootball — Fri, 11 May 2012 22:45:57 +0000

The World Champion New York Giants will kick off the 2012 NFL Season hosting their division rival Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday September 5th 2012 at MetLife Stadium at 8:30 PM ET.

This game is now available for betting at BetOnline Sportsbook and it lists the Champs as 3.5 point favorites with a total of 47.

Dallas made a statement towards improving their bad secondary by moving up in the draft to select cornerback Morris Claiborne as well as getting ex-Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Brandon Carr via free agency. This along with Mike Jenkins gives the Cowboys three pure cover corners and instantly upgrades this unit which has had huge deficiencies the last couple of years. Let’s remember that the Cowboys were one of the better teams against the run last year, and they allowed less than 100 rushing yards per game during regular season, which leads us to believe that this defense should be pretty good on 2012.

The Giants were a 9-7 team on 2011 however got they got hot at the right time. Certainly the rich got richer with their addition of wide receiver Rueben Randle and running back David Wilson, as well as the solidification of their tremendous pass rush with the selection of Markus Kuhn, which should contribute immediately in their defensive tackle rotation. With Eli manning rising to superstar status they will certainly present a challenge in every game.

While games between these two teams traditionally are high scoring affairs, it is also a rule that defenses start the season with a better pace than offenses. That and the fact that both defenses should be pretty decent we believe that the under is the better play for now.

Super Bowl 2012 Prediction: Giants vs Patriots Betting Odds

Mike M. — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:33:17 +0000

With just hours left for Super Bowl XLVI between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots on Sunday February 5, 2012 at 5:30 PM ET, most sportsbooks have the Patriots as favorites at either -2½ or -3 lowering the juice begging bettors to take the Patriots.

Check the Latest Super Bowl 2012 Betting Odds

For many this is a no brainer, the Giants have proven themselves capable of defeating good teams and their road to the Super Bowl was not an easy one. They took on the Falcons at home, Green bay and San Francisco on the road during the post season and covered the point spread on all of these games, the last two as underdogs.

Eli Manning and Tom Brady have faced each other three times. The first one on December 29, 2007 when the Pats at home took the victory 38-35, then on Super Bowl in 2008 with the Giants taking the Vince Lombardi Trophy with a score of 17-14 and most recently on November 6, 2011 when the Giants at home defeated New England 24-20. New York covered the spread as underdog an those three games.

Eli Manning and the Giants have been pushed hard recently in live or die even matches and came thru one way or another.

New England took an easy win in Denver and won by a field goal against Baltimore during the post season, and there’s the Rob Gronkowski who is recovering from an ankle injury and is expected to play on Sunday, but will he be 100% ready?

The payback factor will also play a role in Super Bowl XLVI, with the Patriots wanting to avenge their defeat on Super Bowl XLII.

Our prediction for this game makes the Giants winners by a field goal, so take the Giants and the points.

Surprisingly for many, but not for all, the New York Giants pulled out a win at Lambeau Field and knocked out the world champ Green Bay Packers. Not only did they win the game, but they made it look easy. This is a team that is peaking at the right time and this pass rush is tremendous.

Another team that is hot is of course the San Francisco 49ers, who took down the powerful Saints scoring 36 points, on an impressive offensive performance which was not what we were used to all season long. Alex Smith is playing confident at this late stage mainly thanks to the intelligent management by Coach Jim Harbaugh, and this defense is also brutal.

Time and time again we see it, defenses win championships. And in this case, it will be the two best remaining defenses that were able to dominate and knock out the top seeds of the division. This will be a low scoring game. Open your account at BetOnline now and bet the under!

BetOnline has already released the odds for this game with the Patriots as 7.5 point favorites with a total of 50 points. Open your account at BetOnline and take advantage of the early line!

New England is clearly dominates this series as of recently leading 6-1 however the only Raven win came when it matters, in the post season. It is clear that the playoffs are another season of their own, and the best defenses are the ones more capable of imposing their will, and ultimately win championships.

Tom Brady was able to shred the Broncos secondary throwing six touchdown passes, while the defense allowed only 10 points, of course to a lower ranked opponent. Now Brady will have to repeat his surgical performance to beat the Ravens secondary, and an Ed Reed who is making a significant contribution this post season.

We all know Brady and the Patriots are fully capable of putting points at home, and considering how vulnerable their defense has been all year long the Ravens should have their share of opportunities as well. Open your account at BetOnline now and bet the over 50 points!

2011 NFL Week 17 Predictions: Cowboys vs Giants Betting Odds

TalkProFootball — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:32:04 +0000

It’s winner takes all for the NFC East on the last week of Regular Season when the 8-7 New York Giants host the also 8-7 Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football of New Year’s Eve at 8:20 PM ET at MetLife Stadium.

The Giants are -3 point favorites with a total of 46.5, and this game is available for betting at Bodog Sportsbook.

This game will mean the Division title for the winner; the loser will have a coach asked questions about job security. It’s as simple as that. A one-game season for the most part for superiority in what has been an inferior division.

If either team can run the ball, and it’s been hit-or-miss for both, that could be the difference. Expect the Giants to hunt Tony Romo’s swollen hand whenever possible. Miles Austin has had a quiet, injury-filled season but could salvage a lot in this homecoming. Could Dez Bryant pull a DeSean Jackson on Tom Coughlin on a return in this regular-season, prime-time finale? Hakeem Nicks must shake his case of the drops. New York has been at home pretty much all of December, which should help its cause.

Both defenses will play with high intensity, and both have pretty good chances of wreaking havoc considering the Giants pass rush and the Cowboys run defense. This should not be a high scoring game so Bet under the total.

On the other hand, Houston just snapped a seven game winning streak by losing to the Carolina Panthers last week. Rookie quarterback T.J. Yates threw for 212 yards and no touchdowns, and will be playing for home-field advantage in the playoffs after clinching the AFC South the previous week.

Houston is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games

If the Texans can get Wade Phillips back calling the plays after undergoing kidney and gall bladder surgery this week, their defense should be back to full form, however considering how limited the Colts are on offense this is a key game to loosen up the rookie quarterback. Not many points here, Bet the under.
