It was KC -2.5, so have not been favored on the road yet.
We probably are underdogs at Chicago as well.....................maybe at Washington we are favored?

Hard to say now, still 5 weeks away. If the game(Wash) was this Sunday, we would probably be favored by 2, pick-em at worst. We will be dogs at Chicago no matter our records then.
I have watched the Giants closely this year and they have a horrific team. Only player who is playing good on their team is Cruz and even he is having an off year. We are head and shoulders better than them and there is no reason we shouldn't go in there and beat them. I feel confident about this game.
Did you not see the first game of the season? We needed 6 turnovers to close them out. Eli shredded us that game. I would not say we are head and shoulders above them when they started off 0-6 and are now within one game of us. No matter what teams are in front of them, it's not easy to win 4 straight in this league. And the fact they kept at it after losing their first 6.
We aren't head and shoulders above many teams in this league and surely no one in our division.
I am disappointed in the season, but we have some players returning that should make a difference. I think we play a close game Sunday win or lose.
I did see the first game.. and the first game of a season can be tricky. At the point your team doesn't have multiple losses and I would guess they would play harder/different. I have seen some truly bad games the Giants have had and we only had 2 that I can think of. NO and SD. All the others we kept very close. We are getting back Wilcox, Claiborne, Hatcher, Austin, and our players are coming off a bye so several of them(Ware, church, etc) have had time to heal up. If we play a little man to man vs. zone, I don't see how the Giants can beat us. Keep in mind their RB is Peyton Hillis and Brandon Jacobs. Eli has been playing terrible football. 12 TD's in 10 games, 17 interceptions, and multiple pick sixes. He looks real bad out there.
We are a lot better than the Giants this year.
Andre Brown says hello. He is better than Hillis(who is injured) and has stabilized their run game.

The question was not for me, but yes, I think it matters to some small degree.Does playing a close game matter???
The giants are playing at home. And they seem very hyped up about this game. OTOH, we seem a little disinterested/distracted. That's just the feeling I get.
I think we're gonna lose. 31-24. We make it look respectable at the end but we never really have a chance to win it.
All of this smack talking is just a front to cover up their glaring weaknesses. They'll be in for a treat when they face a QB who will still be in the league next year on Sunday.
They're writing a lot of checks this week that they don't have sufficient funds for.
We win this game because our Oline will do a better job at protecting the QB. Some on here will say "Waters is out, no chance". News flash: he wasn't playing week one either.
Our defense will tighten up more from week one since we have plenty of film to look at from this season since wk 1 and it is easier to identify where they've consistently having problems at; the Oline.
We'll be more aggressive since we know where to attack now.
With all of this being said, we win 31-20.
I hope you are right my friend....................if we lose this game after all this trash talking.................we are done.
