dogs barking this sunday??

Why does NY look solid to you? I was very unimpressed at their dismal performance last week and if St. Louis can do what they did to Miami and every other team at home, why would NY be any different?

Remember. The guys that made the lines know, and witnessed all that as well. Keep that in mind. I agree though, the Giants do not look very attractive to me in this spot.
Dogs I do like. New England. Seattle...as long as its Dilfer playing, (seriously), Detroit, and Atlanta.
Im falling in love with Indy as a fav.
By the way, thanks for....._____.

Ia m always wary of betting on the lowly Cards....But Sunday may be a smart play. Let the bears try andd put up a ton of points..i just dont see it happening. CARDS +7
The Giants have a respectable defense.
Rams coming off of a short week. Sure they looked good against Detroit, but the Lions are probably the worst team in football. I like the Rams to win but don't see them winning by more than 10 points.

the giants did not open up their offense last week as many of us had hoped, and i suspect it was because they could not.
the game was too close for too long. a superior team, especially at home, must open up a safe margin, in this case the line of 14, and then they can concentrate on anything else, including absorbing late tds from the opponent. the fact they were unable to score a td until the 4th quarter is very significant.
one interesting thing about st louis is that they are winning without spectacular performances by marshall faulk, who has produced less than 100 yards in the last two games, so even if the giants were able to "hold" faulk to 50-60 yards, st louis is getting their scores anyway. this was one of their big weaknesses last year, when teams like n.o. keyed on faulk and beat them.
if you don't think st louis will cover, you may want to consider the money line, as then the game will be too close to call.
even though a final score that will fall exactly on 10 is a possibility, prior performance indicates that st louis is the correct side of the equation.

NY hyped last year's Giants/Rams game. Chance for their supposed 'great' defense to matchup with the Rams, at home and on the grass. Well, game was over before it started. No Warner, no Faulk, and St Louis still dominated the game. Now the Rams are at home on the turf, improved defense, Warner is healthy, Faulk is healthy...I don't see the result being much different, besides the Rams winning by maybe a few more points.

I agree that the Rams are the correct side in this one.
Faulk being under 100 yds rushing last week had more to do with them throwing dink passes to him all day than him being stopped.
Marshall Faulk (rush) STL 71 14 5.1 17.8 1 1
Marshall Faulk (rcving) STL 9 80 8.9 20.0 0
That is pretty productive.
I like the Rams in this one to beat an overhyped Giants club.

I'm with Pepin here. Rams are the right side of the equation in my opinion.
Chenker, I couldn't agree more with you about playing dogs this weekend . . . but I don't think the NYG are one of them. I really respect everyone's input here, but as I have posted in other threads there is an 80% system that supports the Rams.
I may not play the Rams because I think it is a dog weekend ahead, but think about this when putting money down on NYG.
System Play
Play on Home Favorites of 7.5 to 13.5 (St. Louis) after scoring 17+ first half points in their previous 2 Games.
This system is 20-5 ATS (80%) last 25 according to one handicapping database.
