Detroit at New York

The Lions offense is coming along. They have averaged 22.4 ppg in five games thus far in 2010 and have had only one offensive stinker. This despite having faced two top 5 defenses in Minnesota and Chicago and a top 10 defense in Green Bay. Shaun Hill has done a decent job and they finally have a game breaker in the backfield in Jahvid Best. Best has had a huge impact both running the ball and as a target for Hill, having already broken one for 75 yards. The Giants have risen up the last two weeks defensively and have looked very good, limiting the Bears to 3 points and the Texans to 10. All of a sudden, the Giants, who were being lambasted three weeks ago, are a great team in the eyes of the public and stuffed suits on TV. Have they turned some corner? Maybe, but let's not forget that tree weeks ago they wer 1-2 and coming off back-to-back blowout losses by 24 adn 19 points. They have won two straight in convincing fashion but I'm not sure how wins over Chicago and Houston really says. Should the G-Men all of a sudden by laying double digits? This is a perfect sandwich game as the Giants, coming off a big win in Houston with their most hated rival in Dallas on deck. In their last six games before playing Dallas, the Giants are just 1-4-1 ATS. How is New York supposed to avoid the look-ahead and let down here given they are facing a team that hasn't won on the road in forever? The Giants have shown to be a bit lackluster at home vs. poor teams as they are 0-4 ATS in their last four at home vs. a team with a losing record. Want more letdown proof? Under Tom Coughlin, the Giants are 4-13 ATS at home after allowing 14 or less last game and Coughlin is just 1-9 ATS in his career after back-to-back wins by 14+ points. The Giants are the better team but this is too many points.
