Hi everyone...

My brief opinion on the following game :
NY Giants @ Seattle

For those of you opposed to taking large road favorites, this would not be the game for you...
But, the circumstances are such that with Seattle being 3-0 at home this year, the home side having won the last 9 series games, the Giants having lost last 4 on the road against Seattle ...this only helps not to have an inflated spread, and anything under 10 is a bargain here.

 Seattle's home wins have come against teams that are 8-14 SU TY and looked anemic on offense scoring 3 points against Oakland last week obtaining only 10 first downs and rushing for only 47 yards,
That's only the begginning...Seattle got smoked in every category 
and yes Oakland got 545 total yards against the Seahawks .

Hasselbeck got sacked 6 times, and now you're throwing a QB making his first NFL start . Please !

NY Giants have already knocked 5 Qb's out of games this season and unlike NY , Seattle lacks the necessary depth to overcome its injuries .

NYG make this trip to the west coast coming off a bye , and while this team does not have a stellar record coming out of a bye, it is helpful when dealing with coast to coast travel.

Regardless, I have highlighted how well Road favorites have fared coming out of byes , and that trend has held last 8 consecutive games with Road Favorites going 8-0 ATS into this week .
Furthermore NY Giants are 12-4 ATS last 16 games as road favorites .
NY Giants rank in the top 5 on both offense and defense and both of their losses have come against AFC teams.
They are until proven otherwise the best team in the NFC . 
Simply, because they are the only NFC team yet to lose against an NFC opponent and share best record with Atlanta and Tampa Bay. 
 
Seattle may very well be Jekyl and Hyde when playing home and road games, but this is a spot where homefield will make no difference in my opinion !
the Seahawks ranked in the bottom 6 in both offense and defense.
their saving grace has been containing the opposition by allowing less than 3 touchdowns to 5 of their 7 opponents this year.
But, the floodgate opened last week and it might get worse this week !
NY has a 4 game winning streak while averaging over 34 points per game last 3 contests ( 2 of which were on the road ) 

I think the NY Giants minimize turnovers and will win and cover this spread rather easily ...

Game : NY Giants @ Seattle
Pick : NY Giants - 7
