Sport: NFLPick Selection: NY Giants
At 4:15 pm, our NFC Favorite of the Month is on the New York Giants minus the points over Chicago. Last week, the Bears miraculously came back to defeat Denver in overtime, but would never have been in the game without Devin Hester's two returns of kicks for touchdowns. Rest assured that New York will NOT let Devin Hester repeat that performance on this Sunday. Of course, it doesn't hurt that New York has the league's best directional punter in Jeff Feagles. Indeed, last year, Hester fielded two punts from Feagles, and failed to have a return yard. And Feagles' other three punts last year vs. Chicago all went out of bounds. New York should be buoyed by the return of RB Derrick Ward this week, and he may find lots of holes in a Chicago run defense ranked 27th of 32 NFL teams. Also, for technical support, it's worth noting that losing home dogs of +5 points or less are a dismal 8-25 ATS since 1980 off a SU/ATS win as a home favorite. Take the Giants. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. And don't miss my NFL Division Game of the Year Winner on Sunday, or my AFC Total of the Year in the Monday Night game between Baltimore and New England.
