New York Giants NFL Odds

NFL Odds in 2007 saw the Giants go 10-6 both straight up and against the spread during the regular season. The team was 8-8 in terms of over/under NFL Game odds. Most of their success against the NFL Odds came on the road as they went 6-2 against the NFL Game Odds away from home. Was the 2007 NFL season a fluke for the Giants or will they carry that success forward to NFL betting odds success in 2008?

Something strange happened though as the Giants surprised everyone and played great football throughout the playoffs and then surprised New England in the Super Bowl. Looking at the NFL Odds stats it seems like the season was more of a team getting hot at the right time.

Eli Manning was great in the playoffs but that was not the case in the regular season. He threw 20 interceptions which was tied for most in the NFL according to NFL Odds stats. The running game was solid as Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward combined for 1600 yards and 7 TDs during the regular season according to NFL Odds stats. Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan formed an excellent defensive line that combined for 32 sacks, including 5 in the Super Bowl according to NFL Game Odds numbers.

The Giants are not the favorite in 2008 NFL Odds even in their own division. Dallas is expected to win the division according to NFL Game Odds while Philadelphia and Washington are improved. History has shown us that Super Bowl Champs oftentimes struggle in NFL Odds the following season and that could be the case with New York in 2008.

NFL Odds info tells us that the team lost FS Gabriel Wilson, LB Kawika Mitchell, and LB Reggie Torbor in the off-season but did sign veteran Sammy Knight. The question many gamblers that look at NFL Odds are asking is whether or not Michael Strahan will return. They are also wondering about the status of tight end Jeremy Shockey.
