I hate capping the Giants, particularly in the first month of the
season. Last week was a good example; they started like a junior flag
football team and ended like unstoppable world champions.
Cons? Short week, a tough Carolina on the road, Bradshaw and Nicks
out, problems at tackle that may expose their QB and a secondary that
wasn't too hot to start with, has missing bodies. Pros? Cruz can
dominate, Andre Brown may be up to the job against a poor home run D and
Manning broke all sorts of records after starting badly last week.
Carolina need to attack that Giants' secondary, but Cam Newton and
the ground game did some damage last week, so it'll be a significant
chance of approach. They can still pound the rock as New York aren't a
brick wall up front (although Keith Rivers is back to help) but they
need to feed Steve Smith; they surely will.
Sorting through that lot, it has to be Carolina.
Pick: Carolina Panthers -3 @ 2.00
Pick: 1st TD Steve Smith @ 10
Pick: Anytime TD Steve Smith @ 2.20
