Baltimore at New York

The G-Men have so much going for them in this contest it is almost unfair. They are coming off a 28-7 spanking by the cross-town Jets after losing by a wide (12 point) margin to the Falcons the week before. Both games were SU and ATS losers for New York. The coaches and players are (or should be) pissed off and taking this last preseason game more seriously than most teams. They are going to be eager to reverse the negative trend going into the regular season. Small (3 points or less) home underdogs coming off road games and home dogs in the last week of the preseason have historically done well covering 7 out of 10 and 6 out of 10, respectively. Baltimore, a team struggling to find a new identity, hasn't been able to put up many points (13.7/game) in its first three games, with new QB Chris Redman at the helm. I don't expect much more from them this game. The Giants were initially installed as a 2 point favorite but are now getting a gift of 3 points. Take the Giants to the bank.
