Home team in CAPS:
BEARS (-7.5) over Giants
What exactly is inspiring about this Giants team right now?
They had a divisional game last week vs. the Eagles at home and got rolled.
They can’t slow anyone down defensively (over 31 Points against in every game),
can’t control the clock (averaging league low 25 minutes time of possession),
and among the leaders in Sacks allowed. To top it all off they don’t generate a
lot of takeaways (7 takeaways) and because the defense is so porous their
starting field position is among the league’s worst (26th), so even
when the offense get the ball they have a long distance to travel to put up any
points.... BUUUUUT they can’t even move the ball efficiently per drive (ranking
30th).
Now the reason I’m pointing out all these flaws and
highlighting none of the Bears flaws is because these aren’t things you can fix
on 4 days rest when you have to travel and you lose a day to prepare anyways.
Their spot to show something was last week vs. the Eagles and it didn’t come to
fruition. What they need to fix these things, maybe fix is the wrong word......
What they need to remedy these problems back to a more average mark is a full
week to prepare and home game. I’m fading them this week but might look to play
them next week vs. the Vikings.
Rest of Week 6 picks on Friday
Last Week: 6-8
This Season: 36-39-2
