Bet the Bank on the Giants Part 2

Thats right folks, PART 2 is here of "Bet The Bank on the NY Giants"

NY Giants will once again prevail as they finally defeat the Dallas Cowboys next week as they face off for the 3rd time this Season. Cowboys took a 2-0 series over the Giants, and each game the Giants put forth a tough effort but failed to win. Look for the Giants to learn from their mistakes, and rebound from those 2 losses and give the public what they least expected, an upset by the Giants over the Cowboys. You better believe the Giants will spend all week reviewing the Cowboys previous games against them, as they will know what to expect from Romo and the Dallas Cowboys

NY Giants - 31
Dallas Cowboys - 28

What exactly will the Cowboys doing this week, jeffries, seeing as the Giants will be the only ones preparing for the game it seems.

Hey outdrawed, remember what that other guy said in the other "Bet the bank on the Giants" post of mine. He said if Eli doesn't throw an interception, Giants will win. That's what happened man. Now I'm not expecting Eli to go clean next week. I expect at least 1 interception in the game, but don't count Romo out either. He tends to throw interceptions as well. Dallas might have the high powered offense, but once again they are facing ONE OF the leagues top defenses. The 2prior games were regular season games. This is where they separate the men from the boys. Expect to see this game come very close, possibly by a FG. The Giants Defense is gonna be up Romo's ass all night long.

Bet the Bank my friend. They'll be studying the Cowboys closely and watching film of their prior games against the Cowboys.

You didn't answer my question. One of the reasons you're picking the Giants (well besides the fact you're a Giants fan, but that's besides the point), is that they'll spend the week preparing for the Cowboys. As a casual fan, I was under the assumption that the Cowboys would be doing the same thing.

I haven't seen a line so I have no idea what side I'll be on, but I really hope you're going to be betting the Giants for reasons other than "they'll be closely watching film of their prior games".

The line is Giants +7.5 and thats not entirely off either. When you put both teams together, Dallas is clearly the better team. Of course Dallas is going to be the favorite here, also having home field advantage (not that that matters to the Giants).. The truth is, the Postseason is just not the same as the Regular Season. I don't have the time right now to go over all the Stats, but I highly doubt the Giants are gonna let the Cowboys sweep them 3-0. This game's gonna be much closer then the previous two games they played.

Shockey is the one who is productive against the cowboys. he won't be there this time around. The bucs didn't have the offensive personnel but the Cowboys do and then some. Bucs couldn't play catch up. Trust me, Cowboys watch film too.

Romo is mobile enough to get away from the Giants pass rush (see game 1 and 2). I don't see Eli having 2 good weeks in a row. The Giants secondary will be toast this week.

chances of them winning is slim... but I do agree it will be a close game. I will take the +7.5 and over 46

I'm seeing Eli and Tony both throwing at least 1 interception in this game, possibly more. Still, the defense will outplay Dallas's defense.. Hopefully we can limit Dallas points scored and get some points of our own and work around Dallas offense

Now I hear Terrell Owens was injured back in Week 17. Any update on this?

jeffries · 01-06-2008, 09:50 PM

Also Kevin Boss has been doing an amazing job in place of Jeremy Shockey. I hardly notice the difference. Boss has caught 2 TD's since playing starter in place of Shockey and has been good at picking up 1st Downs. He's a reliable TE

Cowboys optimistic about Owens

January 6, 2008
IRVING, TEXAS (TICKER) -- The Dallas Cowboys are optimistic that wide receiver Terrell Owens will return to the lineup for next Sunday's divisional playoff game against the New York Giants.

Owens has been sidelined since suffering a high ankle sprain in the Cowboys' 20-13 victory over the Carolina Panthers on December 22.

By the time the Cowboys take the field next next week, however, he will have had three weeks to recover.

Owens did not play in Dallas' regular-season finale against the Washington Redskins while the Cowboys had a bye in the first round of the playoffs as the top seed in the NFC playoffs.

"I like where he is," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday on his radio show. "Our trainers are really satisfied with the progress he's making."

Earlier this week, Owens removed the boot he had been wearing since suffering the injury.

"The swelling, (there is) none detectable or relatively little," Jones added. "And when you compare that and the nature of his injury with the rehab of other players in similar situations, then we should be optimistic."

In 2004, while with the Philadelphia Eagles, Owens missed the last two games of the regular season and two playoff contests with a fractured ankle.

He returned for Super Bowl XXXIX, however, and caught nine passes for 122 yards.

This season, Owens caught 81 passes for a team-high 1,355 yards and 15 touchdowns in 15 games.

I also like the Giants to cover and possibly win outright. Wade Phillips is under a ton of pressure to win this game. Who knows where Tony Romo's head is at?

Dam who thru that eraser

The Giants came very close to beating New England and they beat Tampa like they were nothing, they are on a roll and I would be willing to take the points in this one, I think they have the best shot at beating any favorite this week.

Completely agree. The Giants also play great road games I believe 8-1 it was or something like that. Giants take this one by a FG

jeffries, i admire your homerism, but that's all it is, homerism, and it's really hard to take the input of any homer seriously.

CrazyL · 01-07-2008, 12:05 AM

Outdrawed,

No offense, you're wrong on this one. The Giants are going to spend all week preparing for the Cowboys.
