NFL Odds: New York Giants at Arizona Cardinals

Written by Brad Marchetti

The New York Giants vs. Arizona Cardinals game will be a taxing plane trip for the biggies. New York has done great on the road but Arizona (7-3) has the firepower to put a hurt to the champs. The Giants (9-1) QB Eli Manning has played very well and his running game gives him a nice cushion to work with. Arizona’s defense will be put to the test by a Giants offense that averages 29.2 points per game. The NFL betting lines for the New York Giants vs. Arizona Cardinals game is New York -160 on the MONEYLINE.

Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (105.5 passer rating) has the arsenal in his receiving corps to damage the Giants secondary. The difficult task for the slow-footed and fumble prone Warner will be to avoid the Giants trauma inducing pass-rush (31.0 sacks). The Giants defense is also very familiar with Arizona’s offense having faced Pitt a month ago. The Cardinals offensive line has given up 18.0 sacks and must contain the Giants NFL best front 4. NY has limited opponents to a paltry 70.1 passer rating. For those of your doing your NFL betting on this game, New York -3.0 to -3.5 on the SPREAD.

The Giants offense is expected to be without star WR Plaxico Burress. Without Burress NY could have to turn to their potent running attack to win against Arizona. The Giants came out determined to run the ball against the Baltimore Ravens last week and exploded for 207 yards rushing (6.3 ypc). 265 Lb. #1 RB Brandon Jacobs is nursing a sore knee but backups Ahmad Bradshaw (4.50 40-speed) and Derrick Ward (4.45) are both excellent at what they do. The Cardinals will need to stack 8 men in the box to try and stop Jacobs and crew. The Cardinals are allowing a solid 89.8 yards rushing per game. Giants QB Eli Manning (87.6 passer rating) should have success if the running game can get going against the Cards suspect secondary (91.2 passer rating). The Giants have enough weapons in the passing game to expose some holes in the Cardinals coverage. If you are making your NFL football picks on the OVER\UNDER for the New York Giants vs. Arizona Cardinals game is at 48.0 points.

The New York Giants have been an excellent road team thanks to an excellent running game going 13-2 ATS. The Cardinals are out for their respect to prove they are real contenders. Can Arizona pull off an upset of the defending Super Bowl Champions?
