The New York Giants welcome in the Atlanta Falcons in NFL football action on Sunday. The game is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start time and it will be televised live on FOX. Currently the odds for the game have the Giants favored to get this win.
This game has the feel of one where the underdog could play a pretty solid game and potentially ruin a team's day. The Giants are laying over a field goal in this one against a team in Atlanta that can score points.
Matt Ryan has already thrown for better than 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns to date. With guys like Julio Jones and Roddy White to get the football to, it makes Matty Ice better. The Giants have allowed opponents to throw for better than 250 yards per game on average, which ranks 22nd in the league.
New York lost their opening two games of the season to the Lions and Cardinals, but they've got back on track with victories over Houston and Washington.
Atlanta is 0-2 on the road so far this season. Their defense hasn't been able to get off the field or do them any favors this season. Last week the Minnesota Vikings beat up on Atlanta, scoring 41 points and making it look easy.
Teddy Bridgewater made his NFL debut in that game and the Falcons made him look like a veteran. The Vikings had 241 yards on the ground in the contest as well, so the Giants will look to get the running game going in this one. And even though the Giants scored 45 points last week in a win over the Redskins, their offense has been pretty average this season. Eli Manning has looked solid in games the Giants wn — posting a 119.9 quarterback rating and throwing six touchdowns. The losses have seen Manning throw just three TDs and four picks.
New York has some extra rest in this one, so they SHOULD win. But with their inconsistencies the past few seasons it's tough to have too much confidence.
