LOSS

The NFL has always been a QB dominated league. You either have a good one or you don't win a lot. Eli Manning is closing in on the age of 34, and he has regressed in each of the past two seasons. Last year was brutally bad. Manning threw just 18 TD passes, his fewest ever, and the most interceptions at 27, also a career high. That is not a healthy situation for an offense that struggles to run the ball. The Giants did make some changes, but not important ones on offense. In fact, a big playmaker in Hakeem Nicks is gone. The Giants went out added Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams to the backfield. They should be deeper and better as injuries killed them last year. The Detroit Lions have one of the best front sevens in the NFL, but their secondary has always been suspect. Can Eli Manning exploit it at this point? His 83 INTs over the last four years doesn’t bode well. New York has played to a 14-4 mark to the UNDER in their last 18 road games, and Detroit has now gone 7-0 to the UNDER in their last seven Monday night games. Since the arrival of Tom Coughlin in New York, the Giants are 26-11 UNDER in road games with a total set above 45. This one stays UNDER.
