4 point move in a few hours - unreal!
Why will the line move from Detroit -1 to +3 in such a small amount of time?
Detroit is undeafeted at home and last time they played Giants they smoked them. Giants barely beat Miami and lost to Dallas at home. Not to mention that they got run over by Packers that play in same division as Lions. Not even the Patriots ever got a 4 point move in such a short time. This is very strange. Is there a major injury to Detroit I'm not aware off?

Don't understand this line movement at all. Have searched and could find nothing on it. Does anyone have any idea if someone was injured or not? I also agree with the poster, that favoring Detroit makes more sense here, and the current line seems kind of odd.

I don't know why Giants are favored. It does not make sense to me. But the Giants are a good team; so is Detroit. I personally would favor Detroit to win, but it is not a sure thing. The home field advantage is very real in Detroit. Best line now seems to be at justbet, +3 -110. Line is actually running somewhere between 2.5 and 3. I might bet this one, but not sure I really like to understand line movements before I bet them.

i took the giants here their 3 losses have been to dallas twice and green bay, wheras detroit has lost to philly, washington and arizona. the giants are beating the teams they are supposed to beat and detroit is one of them. somebody put a lot of money on the giants for the line to move into the 3.

you can make the same argument for the lions but even stronger. they have beaten oakland, minn, chicago twice and denver...... all teams that have quarterback issues... but the giants don't have that problem, i am not a big eli manning fan, but i think he could light it up against detroit.

Plenty of reasons to like NYG here.......
Do you know that Jon Kitna has been sacked 37 times this season? Did you know the Giants lead the NFL in sacks? Giants Defense: Osi Umenyiora 9.0 Sacks Justin Tuck 7.0 Sacks Michael Strahan 5.0 Sacks Mathias Kiwanuka 4.5 Sacks http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorysta...ue&Submit=Find Lions are 4-0 @ Home this season. But who do they defeat? Vikings (Below Avg) Bears (Below Avg) Bucs (AVG) Broncos (Below AVG) Giants are better than all 4 of these teams... Do you also realize that before losing to the best team in the NFC, the Giants were on a six game winning streak outscoring their opponets 152-79 and winning three games on the road during that span. Giants three defeats this season have come to the 8-1 Cowboys twice and the 8-1 Packers. With the Giants losing their last game it should help them to get motivated enough avoiding any kind of letdown or coming out flat. Giants are pretty solid on defense, they are ranked 9th in both rushing and passing. Lions however are RANKED 30th vs PASS they are ranked 8th vs RUN.

Philly beat the Lions 56-21 Redskins beat the Lions 34-3 Let the Giants win by two points so we both win. I hammered the G-men immediately after the line came out. |
