Why would the NYG's want to win the game with IND??
To me this makes no sense lol. They had the # 1 draft slot all wrapped up, and the for sure needed to pick #1 !
So why would they suddenly try so hard to win?

It makes me wonder if all these games are scripted, and giants were told to win, and IND to lose.
Sports books made a bundle off that one, and the nfl gets their share of that ?
I think the spread was -8.5 IND, so most probably bet on Ind and gave up the points.

Now there are 5 teams with 3 wins.

If only same people had told dallas to win and phil to lose !

Because the players try to win. The players couldn't care less about where they are drafting. If Barkley wasn't going for the record, the Giants would probably beat Philly next week. Just like the Cowboys will more than likely beat Washington. Coaches and players try to win.

This is bad news for us. I wanted the Giants to have the 1st overall pick as I don't think this QB draft class is that good. Now they might trade out of there and load up for next year's draft.

Hopefully they go all out and try to trade up to #1 and waste multiple picks in doing so. That would be best case scenario.
