The thought of Kyle Orton hobbling around with his gimpy ankle, or the thought of Chris Simms out there trying to get back into playing shape does not instill confidence in this Denver team that is sinking like a lead balloon.
Denver is now on an 0-4 straight up, and against the spread slide since starting the season at 6-0.
New York stopped their 4-game slide, but failed to cover as they blew a 14-point lead in the 4th quarter against the Falcons on Sunday. Still, Eli Manning threw for nearly 400 yards last week, and with the Broncos defense starting to stay on the field a little too long these days, have to believe the Giants who are 13-5 against the spread their last 18 as a road favorite are the play in this game minus the number.
10 DIMER - TEXAS A&M AGGIES
Texas best be on guard at College Station, as the undefeated Longhorns have dropped their last pair of decisions versus the spread at A&M, inlcuding an outright upset loss to the Aggies in 2007.
Texas A&M has gone 5-1 straight up at home this season, and 4-1-1 against the spread in their 6 home games this year.
The Aggies definitely have enough offense to stay inside of this roomy impost, and pride is a strong motivator when you are getting around 3 touchdowns on your home turf.
