PBF is always on the money?

he took Michigan over Alabama two years ago
I think the biggest concern  
Rjanyg : 11/24/2013 12:06 pm : link
Is Romo pulling it down and running with it. I can see Dallas spreading us out and creating running lanes for Murray, then play action roll outs and bootlegs with the run pass option for Romo.

That's how I would approach the conditions today.

but at the same time, if you can't throw the ball past 10 yards effectively, you can just go single high and put someone on Romo
If Romo runs,  
CT Charlie : 11/24/2013 12:18 pm : link
I hope he runs into Beason.
Smart money is on Dallas.

I think some of the Giants early season frustration is taken out on the cowboys.

I like Eli over Romo. 5 turnovers(instead of 6) and the Giants would have won meeting # 1.
Watching the Balt/Jets game.....

Anything thrown deep, just hangs in the air.....

Have to pick your spots against the wind, and definitely throw with the wind.....
Keep the dream alive.

Just win, baby. I don't care if we win 10-9.
Look for Eli to eat the ball more today and  
Simms11 : 11/24/2013 1:26 pm : link
take less chances. It will probably be a very close game again if he does that. If we are turning the ball over again I don;t see how we will be able to win this game. Our STs have to be the best today, as well.
Game plan will be interesting  
Greggiant : 11/24/2013 1:30 pm : link
We have seen the giants try to air it out in conditions like this before. I hope to see the more conservative Gilbride game plan.
Gilbride is going to air it out today....

The reason why Floyd has gotten the rep of being great at gambling  
montanagiant : 11/24/2013 2:05 pm : link
Is because he only tweets when he wins.
Quote:
Mayweather tweeted photographs of 46 betting slips, totaling $3,890,833 worth of bets, and every single one of them was a winner, netting the fighter a cool $3,938,722 (and 87 cents) in winnings on those bets. Losing betting slips have been conspicuous by their absence. When asked about his losing slips, Floyd responded, Why would I ever show a losing ticket when Im 41-0.

So i would take his rep with a grain of salt
Also, all that talk of him going huge on our game  
montanagiant : 11/24/2013 2:14 pm : link
Is coming from the offshore sites and this stream:

*BIG BET ALERT* Buzz is that Floyd Mayweather is dropping approx 6.5Million on Cowboys +3. Several shops + offshore accts taking his action


First off the reason why a book would even release this is because they need money on Dallas to offset the money on us. They also work under the basic premise that the more money bet, the more they make. No book in its right mind would ever give out info like this unless they wanted others to follow his bet. Books get killed when too much money comes in on one team, they win when its on both

I'd like the Giants to deliver a total ass fucking in a big spot but you know best case scenario is this goes down to the wire.
Gonna have to run the ball well.

Not only is it extremely windy, but they're swirling winds. Flags atop the goalposts on each end are pointed towards midfield. #NYG
Dottino just said that this is the craziest wind

He has seen since the new building opened. Need to pound the rock
I hope Conner  
Simms11 : 11/24/2013 2:47 pm : link
is ready to maul people today, because we will need our running game more than ever!
Both Nicks and Hills are inactive.  
Anakim : 11/24/2013 2:48 pm : link
Fuck
Yeah, this game is going to be an utter mess.  
Riggies : 11/24/2013 2:50 pm : link
They're only averaging 3.1 yards/carry during this 4 game win streak, with teams not frequently selling out to stop the run.

Dallas' defense is hurting badly, especially along the DL, but I don't know if it's hurting enough for the Giants to not embarrass themselves offensively today.
I really hate everyone picking the Giants  
Simms11 : 11/24/2013 2:51 pm : link
this team just does not ever do well as the favorite!

THe only saving grace is that the GIants know that if they lose, any chance of them winning the Division is essentially over. Need to come out with energy, enthusiasm and a sense for ball security.

AcidTest : 11/24/2013 2:52 pm : link
and windy helps us. It limits the downfield passing game, just like is currently happening the Jets Ravens game. But we have no such game.

So it's ground and pound. And we have a much better running attack and run defense than the Cowboys, especially with Brown, Jacobs, and Conner. We can also use Myers for some short passes. We do still need to be concerned about Witten, but the weather really helps us I think.
The wagering on this game  
Buck Dharma : 11/24/2013 2:55 pm : link
has been 50/50, the early money was on Dallas. I'm always leery of 2 and 2.5 point favorites.
The Giants don't have a much better running attack the Cowboys.  
Riggies : 11/24/2013 2:57 pm : link
They just... don't, even if you only look at the four game win streak numbers vs the Cowboys' season ones. The only thing they have going for them in that comparison is quantity, as in they run the ball for attempts per game than Dallas, and no one should ever confuse quantity for quality.

The "advantage" to the Giants is the defenses being faced today, at least on paper.
For some reason, Coughlin's teams  
oipolloi : 11/24/2013 3:11 pm : link
have not taken advantage of the wind the way Parcells did.

Which is odd, given that Coughlin emphasizes the running game. Maybe "wind-friendly" passes, such as screens, are not as much of a staple of the offense?
I just want to tell all you good luck  
BlueHurricane : 11/24/2013 4:05 pm : link
We're all counting on you.

Let's goooooooooooooooo
Posted by Eric in another thread. Both teams jawing.

On the pre-game show they are saying that it isn't as windy  
Reese's Pieces : 11/24/2013 4:10 pm : link
inside the stadium as everyone expected. And the winds are supposed to subside as evening approaches.
