The Giants started things out very quickly, with five straight wins (four in pro football betting), although admittedly aside from the win at Dallas, they have beaten four teams with troubles – Washington, Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Oakland. The last three games have been unfortunate. What has been the problem?

Well, part of it might be that while Brandon Jacobs is continuing to plod forward, the other half of that dynamic duo in the backfield hasn’t held up his end. Ahmad Bradshaw has had just 101 yards rushing in his last three games, and that’s because he’s been playing with a broken bone in his foot. Bradshaw brought an explosive element, and his foot isn’t going to get any better.

All I can say about Eli Manning is that ever since he had that heel injury against Kansas City he has gone downhill. He’s only completed 52% of his passes, with five TD’s and six interceptions, and if you took away the game with non-competitive Oakland, his numbers look even worse. The effect of this is that the rejuvenated receiver group, consisting of people like Steve Smith, Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks, has not had a chance to really break out lately.

The secondary has been disappointing. Part of the reason has been the injuries. They’ve missed Aaron Ross. They’ve missed Kenny Phillips. They are vulnerable to passes down the field.

Many people evaluating this for football betting purposes are under the impression that since Phillip Rivers does not have a cannon for an arm, he does not get the ball downfield. Indeed, he does. The guy has been averaging 8.6 yards an attempt. He’s got a full complement of receivers, and you can count Darren Sproles among them. That’s the good news. The bad news is that LaDainian Tomlinson has been running more, but really not any better (despite two TD’s last week), the offensive line is still playing with guys who would otherwise be career backups, and there really isn’t any more talent in that secondary than the Giants have.

If I liked San Diego’s running game better, or if I didn’t think the Giant pass rush couldn’t beat their up-front people, I could feel confident about making a recommendation on the Chargers. I can’t, and I don’t think their new “Wildcat” package is going to work very well either. I’m going to put some faith in the Giants this week. laying 4.5 points in the BetUS NFL pro football betting odds.

It is do or die for both these teams as a loss will hurt them in their division race. It is hard to believe that New York could lose four games in a row, but maybe they really are not that good as they padded their record against lousy teams.
