Yeah, on Good Morning Football today on the NFL Network, they were saying that the NY Giants should be insulted that it is a home game and they were underdogs. Said that they should have all the motivation because of the slight to open the season. They expect NY to come out of the gate and lay one on the Cowboys.
Such an insult!! I get so tired of the media.
Giants are one of six teams that are underdogs in their season home opener.
Bengals @ Browns - CLE +2
Jaguars @ Colts - IND +4.5
Forty-Niners @ Steelers - PIT +2.5
Eagles @ Patriots - NE +4.5
Cowboys @ Giants - NYG +3.5
Bills @ Jets - NYJ + 2
Common denominator in these games ------ the favored road teams this first weekend were all playoffs teams following the 2022 regular season.
Out of the six home opener dogs, only the 9-8 Steelers and the 9-7-1 Giants had winning records...but NYG did make the postseason, and won their wildcard game on the road.
But 2023 is a new season -- all 32 teams are 0-0.
