Giants getting no respect +9 1/2

broadbandz : 10/3/2022 3:58 pm
on a neutral field, with a struggling Rodgers. Even if Barkley starts at QB the giants cover 9.5 easy.
LOL  
Jints in Carolina : 10/3/2022 4:08 pm : link
the line is exactly where I figured it would be.

We are a MASH unit.
I'm not saying that we won't cover,  
crackerjack465 : 10/3/2022 4:08 pm : link
but we've played:

Baker Mayfield
Cooper Rush
Justin Fields
Ryan Tannehill

We didn't think the pass defense would be stellar this year and now we're without Julian Love. We still don't really know how good this defense is yet.

If the giants stay in this, or cover, this will be the last time you see a line this big, but we have to prove it vs a good qb.
Giants possibly are gonna be starting a 3rd string QB  
Tim in Eternal Blue : 10/3/2022 4:09 pm : link

with a patchwork roster, against Aaron Rodgers and the 7th ranked overall defense.

9.5 feels fair.
Sigh

Vegas sets these lines to encourage betting. No more, no less.

There's nothing nefarious going on here. Vegas is doing what Vegas does - trying to make money.
This line is a surprise?  
JohnG in Albany : 10/3/2022 4:11 pm : link
They started with a very thin roster and have a boat load of injuries.

Including two quarterbacks.

If that's the latest line  
Spider43 : 10/3/2022 4:13 pm : link
Then it's moved up. I saw a +7.5 line earlier today. I don't know which is which. But I do agree, we can cover that spread (either one), though likely lose the game.
The Titan win is our only "good" win  
GMen72 : 10/3/2022 4:16 pm : link
and even they were scuffling when we played them. The Giants are the same team they were last year with a better coaching staff and easier schedule. If Adam's was still with GB...the spread would be double digits.

The Packers "get right" game

After all of our injuries yesterday I think it won't be pretty.

Keep winning and you won’t see lines like this

If they field the same offense as this past Sunday, with a hobbled Jones, it could be tough to cover that spread

You mean like the Patriots just did?
3rd string QB  
ZogZerg : 10/3/2022 4:28 pm : link
and half the team injured.

Sounds about Right.
Rodgers is poised to have an explosion game  
Biteymax22 : 10/3/2022 4:29 pm : link
But I said it in my write up this morning, weird things happen in the international games. I'd take us to cover unless we get some really bad injury news.
Maybe  
AcidTest : 10/3/2022 4:29 pm : link
we don't deserve any respect. We have no WRs and out team is again a MASH unit. And oh yeah, we're going up against one of the greatest QBs to every play the game.
Weekly complaints about the media  
ajr2456 : 10/3/2022 4:32 pm : link
And now the Vegas lines. Can we just enjoy the success so far?

The line is right where it should be given the current injury report if we’re being objective. Doesn’t mean the Giants can’t win, but if Webb ends up starting and Williams doesn’t play it’s going to be tough.
this is good

Banks : 10/3/2022 4:40 pm : link
We have injuries everywhere and may not have a qb. Even if Jones plays, 9.5 seems low. The pack has a strong ground game going for 200 yards 2 out of the last 3 weeks, the defense gets after the qb, and then you have to deal with Rodgers. Their receivers may stink, but the passing game is still productive and our luck is they finally gel this game.
It starts at 9.5  
5BowlsSoon : 10/3/2022 5:03 pm : link
Could easily fall if our key players, like Jones, can play.
Why does it matter to you

yeh but based on pure talent the giants are playing much better.

armstead98 : 10/3/2022 5:46 pm : link
Was +6.5 before he was hurt, then 9.5 and now back down that he might play.

Seems about right for this game.

So fucking sick of this 'only good win' nonsense. A win is a fucking win. With this team's lack of Ws lately, I'll take 'em anyway we can.

That's fine...but Vegas doesn't set the line to please overzealous Giant homers. Hence, the Vegas line and an apparent lack of respect. Might want to read the thread title instead of bitching just to bitch.
Both QBs are injured lmao

A ridiculous take. You really believe last year s team would be 3-1? The lengths some of you go to be negative is truly fascinating

Well after watching the Bears again yesterday, I'm still very comfortable calling the 9ers loss to the Bears a very bad loss. ;)

I guess you forget how many on here were saying the Giants "should be 3-0" last year (when we were 0-3)? All I'm saying is...this team should be a TD+ dog to a playoff team on the road.

As I stated above, I think the line is fair. But I think your post said a lot more than that. Also being 0-3 instead of 3-1 is exactly the point; they would have lost these games last season.

Generally, I agree. But there are signature wins that standout.

Getting one or a few of those just add more credibility.

Agree to disagree...we beat bad teams last year also, we just didn't play as many. We beat a bad Carolina team last year...beat a bad Carolinateam this year. The Bears are considered the least talented team in the NFL by most talking heads. Only the Titan win will be impressive at the end of the year...Carolina and the Bears will have top 5 picks.
We have really good coaching.  
bradshaw44 : 10/3/2022 8:51 pm : link
But the team is being held together by ace bandages at this point. Green Bay usually rounds into form around week five every year also, so expect them to really open it up on us this week.

If this Giants team falls behind by a lot to any team we will get buried. We can not hang in a shoot out because we literally have zero receivers. Can’t run Barkley all day if you’re down 14+, which Green Bay has the ability to do to us.
I'm not into betting lines

LakeGeorgeGiant : 10/3/2022 9:01 pm : link
was the douchenozzle yesterday saying this team would "top out at 5 wins".

They have 3 wins now and they still play Houston, Seattle, Detroit, Washington twice, Indianapolis, and Dallas. All winnable. (Not saying they will win them all)

The team still has a long way to go obviously, but holy fuck give them some credit.
I’m surprised it’s that low  
Joe Beckwith : 10/3/2022 10:07 pm : link
given our injuries, besides Jones.
We’ll get a lot of respect if we stay lose for at least 2&1/2 Qtr.
Sticking with Vegas terminology, this is a ‘house money’ season, more so with all the injuries. Remember what many said they wanted to see develop preseason:
Team,
Player development ,
Making sure players play to their strengths ,
Playing smart/ limiting mistakes,
We’ll need a good ‘22 and ‘23 draft,
Among other goals.
I mean we are the definition of the walking wounded and this offense  
Returning Video Tapes : 10/3/2022 10:52 pm : link
stands zero chance to back door cover if we can even manage to keep it close. With the state of our WR crew it’s imperative we have a mobile QB to keep teams honest (or in Bears case saying fuck if we won’t get beat by Saquon and still getting beat by him). So if it’s Webb I put our chances at effectively zero to win and marginally better to cover just because the defense gives us a chance.

The Packers aren’t even good, but I have a hard time believing we get enough pressure on Rogers to not have him slice up our single coverage on the weak links (LB and corners not named Adoree). This isn’t Justin Fields and the odds of us getting a defensive score are low (which is what it would take) Thibs is gonna have to show us a big one for us to keep it close if LW is a no go. Rogers likes holding onto the ball so get that football young man. Ditto for Dex bringing the same game he did last week.

The nice part about being 3-1 is we don’t have to rush anyone back. Its a marathon not a sprint now.

If we somehow win this game,
