The Seattle Seahawks look like a team that’s quietly gaining confidence, and they have an offense that’s fifth in scoring. Of course, playing in Seattle is never easy. With that said, the New York Giants keep winning games, and they’re still getting disrespected by oddsmakers. This is the sixth time this season the Giants are underdogs, and yet here they are with six victories. It’s not sexy, but the Giants have the top rushing attack in the country, and they’re clearly well coached. The Giants are putting money in bettors pockets. Until that stops, you have to keep backing this team. Give me the Giants.
