This seems to happen every few seasons for the New York Giants: They start a season full of promise, only to pick up more than their fair share of injuries. They stumble in a few early season games, then roll off a great winning streak to end the season and BAM! You have your Super Bowl championship story.
Isn’t this season starting out like that for the defending champs? They lost three more players on Sunday and now will have to face Cam Newton and the tough Panthers in Carolina.
While the Giants could end up going on an incredible run later this season, this team isn’t all there yet. It’s also quite dangerous to go against an underdog at home, especially after just watching five of them not only cover, but win on Sunday.
PICK: CAROLINA +1 over New York Giants
LAST WEEK: 8-6-2
THIS SEASON: 14-16-2
