I didn’t expect a shut out

GoBlue6599 : 12/16/2018 7:51 pm
Once Odell was pronounced out the point spread went from NYG -2.5 to Tennessee now favored by 1.5, I’m not sure if people here pay attention to that sort of stuff but the oddsmakers are normally right so I didn’t have a good feeling about this game I didn’t expect a shut out smfh
Not having OBJ really hurt the Giants, Sheppard was disappointing in this game didn’t really step up with Odell out. It was nice to see Engram catch a few balls that guy definitely has a skill set
No one expects the Inquistion

Very disappointing but those conditions were very bad.

On a dry day, Giants had a good chance. Among other issues, Eli continually took a very short stride And didn’t step up, and tried to throw with Arm Only. I thought I was seeing Kerry Collins with rushers in his face.
I expected a win

Needed a run game. They had one, we didn’t.

Add in a gimmie TD off of a first down following a flagrant bad facemask call, and a mugging of a PI that was not called....and the rest is just people trying to overcome a losing hand.
Dropped balls

And penalties killed drives.
The Giants were favored?

What did they do to be originally considered a favorite in this game? Even with OBJ healthy, they should have been a home dog.
The conditions were bad,

and the Titans had a great gameplan for those conditions. Kept it safe and ran the ball down the Giants throat. To top it all off, Giants have Shitty Shurmur who absolutely had no clue and gameplan in place. Period.
These games happen

All the time, you play a perfect game, lots of emotion then you lay an egg. We aren't this terrible, the Titans aren't that good.

The "perception" was that the betting public believed the Giants were better than what they were based on the last couple of games. That is how the line gets made.

There were not many people anywhere on TV/Radio/Online picking Tennessee to win. Once the line shifted 4 points (which usually only happens when a QB goes down) in the other direction, the sharp money came in so hard on Tennessee.

The Titans prior to yesterday’s game have been terrible on the road, Giants -3 was standard and appropriate with OBJ
