Being the playoff underdogs in the BetUS sportsbook
NFL betting lines is nothing new to Eli Manning
and the New York Giants. In the Wild Card round,
they were 3.5-points road dogs in Tampa Bay.
Result? Giants 24 Buccaneers 14.
In the NFL Divisional playoff round, the G-men
went to Texas Stadium as 7.5-point road dogs
and became the first team to knock off the NFCs
number one seed since the merger in 1970. Score:
Giants 21 Cowboys 17
This week, they make their way to Lambeau Field
to meet the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship
game. Again, the oddsmakers have made them dogs
on the football betting lines, this time by a
touchdown.
New York Giants
+7 at Green Bay Packers –7:
Total 40.5
Manning has the size, strength and is athletic
enough to hit his receivers with just about any
throw, but is consistency has been somewhat iffy
at times. Not so in these playoffs, where he
has throw for four scores and zero interceptions.
His focus on taking what the defenses offer and
not making the mental errors that have caused
him to turn the ball over in the past, manning
has become a very good manager of the game. The
coaching staff has helped him along by simplifying
the movements and shifts pre-snap, better enabling
the younger Manning to make reads properly and
execute the necessary plays.
NFC Championship Game: Sunday, January 20 at
6:30 p.m. EST
Although things will certainly not come easy
for Eli against a stout Packers secondary, he
does have the weapons he needs to spread the
field and look for the weakest coverage. Offensive
coordinator Kevin Gilbride helps the passing
game by expertly mixing in the running game to
keep defenses on their toes. He will use running
back Brandon Jacobs heavily in this game, knowing
that the Green Bat run defense has slacked in
the second half of the year.
Getting Jacobs successfully started early on
will be one of the keys to any chance the Giants
will have at winning this game and some of the
burden must fall on fullback Madison Hedgecock
to lead block the way. Hedgecock and the offensive
line, which averages over 315 pounds per man,
will have to excel in taking control of the interior
of the line of scrimmage in order to allow Eli
time for the play-action calls within the Giants
system
If the Packers
can stop the run early and put some points
on the board first, it will transfer more pressure
onto Manning’s shoulders.
With such great corners as Charles Woodson and
Al Harris, you can bet this is just what Green
Bay will be playing for. You’d better have
trust in Eli’s ability to beat these two
if it is New York you plan on betting on this
weekend.
