Editor's Note: We apologize that we didn't get this on the Pregame forum sooner as obviously, this line is moving quickly now towards the Giants. This play was released at 4 p.m. on Saturday 10/18 and at the time of release, the consensus line was Giants +6.5. Do with it what you will...enjoy the games today!
We are going to go ahead and release this one now, but we must admit that we are a bit confused as to how this line is going to move as we get closer to kickoff. The New York Giants travel to Dallas on Sunday to take on the red hot Cowboys, who once again appear to be America’s Team! The Giants looked absolutely terrible in last week’s 27-0 loss to Philly, while the Cowboys were stunning the Seahawks 30-27 in Seattle. As our long term clients know, this is a “green light” situation for the Sharps, classic “buy when they are selling” on the G-Men here in this spot. The Giants aren’t nearly as bad as they looked last week, while the Cowboys aren’t as good as everyone thinks they are. Tom Coughlin teams have been very good with their backs to the wall, especially away from home. Consider that since 1992, the Giants are an impressive 49-29 ATS in road games off a division game. They are also 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 road games vs. teams with a winning home record. This appears to be a classic letdown spot for the Cowboys and they are just 2-5 in their last seven home games. The loss of Victor Cruz for the Giants means you will probably see Beckham and Randle on the field at the same time, opening up additional big play possibilities for the Giants. Here’s the deal…we are releasing the game at Giants +6.5 and as a 3 Unit selection. We’re not sure if this line will move to 6 or 7, but at 7, we would probably bump this up to a 4 Unit Diamond play. You are certainly welcome to buy the hook, but we are going to settle with a solid selection with the Giants here. The Sharps say…
3 UNITS – NEW YORK GIANTS (+6.5)
