6* Widow Wiseguy NFL Thursday GAME OF THE YEA R on Denver Broncos +7 (-105 at bodog)

The Denver Broncos should not be catching this many points at home on Thursday. Yes, they have lost 4 straight and have been blown out in the process, but now the value is clearly on Denver. This team is still 6-4 and right in the middle of the playoff race, and we feel this short week should help them get over their loss to the Chargers very quickly and to get back on the winning track. They host a New York Giants' team that has also struggled, going 1-4 in their last 5 games and needing a field goal in overtime to beat the Falcons at home last week. New York is getting way too much respect here from the odds makers, and we'll capitalize. The Giants have a very long list of injuries right now, and they are playing without their defensive leader in MLB Antonio Pierce. Without him, they gave up 31 points to the Falcons last week. They also have plenty of injuries in their defensive secondary, which will allow Kyle Orton and company to have a big day through the air. The Giants have given up 21 or more points in 5 straight games, and they are allowing an average of 32.8 points/game during this span. In their last 2 road games, the Giants lost 27-48 at New Orleans and 17-40 at Philadelphia. Once again, it's hard to imagine how they could possibly be a touchdown favorite on the road with the evidence presented. The Giants are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. Denver is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog. Take Denver and the points.
