New York at Los Angeles

Are the Giants for real? The bookmakers don't seem to think so. I, on the other hand, think they have shown a lot thus far. Eli Manning is looking like Peyton and Jeremey Schockey has returned to rookie form. Throw in a little Tiki Barber and you have a formidible offense that can score on anyone. They've put up 69 points in their first two games. Things aren't so peachy in San Diego as the normally quiet LaDanian Tomlinson is complaining about lack of touches. That's what an 0-2 start will do to you. This crowd is going to let Manning hear it after he snubbed the Chargers last season. But, don't think that will have any meaningful impact on the game. Folks, we have a 2-0 team getting 5.5 points vs. an 0-2 team. That just aint right. And, trust me - the Giants are taking note of the lack of respect. The G-Men are 9-1 ATS off two consecutive home wins and the Chargers are off a hard-fought emotional division game. San Diego is 9-23 off a road loss to a divisional rival. It's hard to come back strong after those kind of games. One star on the Giants to cover this one.
