2006 NFL Betting Odds: Indianapolis Colts at New
York Giants
2006 NFL betting
odds are now available with a pivotal Sunday night
game featuring the Indianapolis Colts at the New
York Giants.
At press time,
listed the New York Giants as a +3 dog hosting Indianapolis. There
is definitely some huge value here.
The Colts lost the
team's career rushing leader, Edgerin James, to
Arizona. And while his replacements look
formidable, there is only one Edgerin James.
Last year, The
Colts impressed us with a new perfect season while
the Giants shocked us by performing way better than
anticipated early on in the season. Comparing
the two teams, however, it is interesting to point
out that the Colts record from last year could be a
little misleading.
Nine of the teams
they played had losing records during the 2005
regular season. That's more than half.
The Colts lost against three of the top teams: San
Diego, Seattle and Pittsburgh. They also won
against a battered New England team. That
leaves us with only four games that really stood out
as impressive wins: Two against Jacksonville, one
against Pittsburgh and another against Cincinnati.
Signs point to Eli
Manning as being a more consistent quarterback and a
leader for his New York Giants. If Eli can
meet these expectations, there is little to stop the
Giants from enjoying another successful season in
2006 and perhaps deep into the playoffs.
Defense, with the exception of the secondary, is
solid. Offense if top notch before factoring
in Eli Manning.
But Eli should be
motivated for this game against his big brother and
aside from the two quarterbacks, on paper at least,
the Giants look like the better team going into this
one as the host.
+3 at
, that's some great value for Eli Manning and the Giants.
Bet it now at
and remember to tell them that Tyrone Black of Sports911.com sent you.
Incidentally, the
Colts are listed at approximately 8 to 1 odds of
winning the 2007 Super Bowl at press time August 6
while the Giants have odds of approximately 26 to 1.
