PRESS RELEASES
For Immediate Release
-- December 1st, 2005
With a memorable Thanksgiving
football weekend behind us, the real feasting
may have just begun. The upcoming week offers
lots of divisional battles, each with playoff
implications. Bodog.com has posted the odds.
In what looks to be the game
of the week, the Giants (7-4) host the Cowboys
(7-4) in a battle for the NFC East lead. Returning
to New York, Dallas coach Bill Parcells will
aim to gain sole possession of first place against
the team he led to two Super Bowl victories.
The Giants are favored by 3 points.
“Sunday’s game between
the Giants and Cowboys should be an exciting
grudge match,” says Calvin Ayre, Founder
and CEO of Bodog.com. “This game has big
playoff implications. When division rivals meet
late in the season, it always makes for riveting
football and, with first place on the line,
this one will be especially fun to watch.”
In Week 6, the Cowboys defeated
the Giants 16-13 in overtime and have gone 3-2
since. They’re coming off a disappointing
24-21 overtime loss to Denver on Thanksgiving
Day. Since Week 6, the Giants have gone 4-2
and also will be looking to bounce back from
a 24-21 overtime loss. New York’s setback
came in Seattle on Sunday.
Meanwhile, in the AFC North,
the stage is set for a hard-fought game between
the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The division-leading Bengals are 8-3 after defeating
the Baltimore Ravens 42-29 last week, and will
look to the duo of quarterback Carson Palmer
and receiver Chad Johnson to again exhaust the
scoreboard.
The Steelers (7-4), on the other
hand, reluctantly obliged the Indianapolis Colts
their 11th victory of the year on Monday night.
A win and the Steelers pull into a first-place
tie for the North, a loss and their chances
of either a division crown or a wild-card berth
sink.
Among other games, the Atlanta
Falcons (7-4) meet the Carolina Panthers (8-3)
in an NFC South tilt that could decide who goes
to the playoffs and who goes into offseason
training. Michael Vick and the Falcons need
the win to tie Carolina for the division lead
while the Panthers will try to re-ignite their
offense, which has sputtered in the team’s
last two games. The Panthers are 3-point favorites.
Other games to watch include
the AFC West fight between the Denver Broncos
and Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs (7-4) will
need to secure a victory to stay close to the
Broncos’ division-leading 9-2 record and
to keep in contention for a playoff spot. The
Broncos opened as 1.5-point favorites.
