The Seattle Seahawks vs. New York Giants betting odds opened at Giants -9. There is a middling opportunity on this game as some books still had this one at Seattle +9 by early Friday morning and still others had the Giants -7. In fact, nearly 85 percent of online sports books had the Giants down to -7. If the Giants were to win by 8 points, you could win bets on both sides of this game at two different online sports books.

Nearly 90 percent of the betting action was on the Giants.

The home team has won the last 8 dating back to 1988. Four of the last five games were won by 3 points - quite a telling stat to say the least. The last game was won by 12 points in September 2006 by Seattle.

There is actually a huge underlay on this game according to Gambling911.com's review of what the actual line should be. This is a Seattle squad that seems to be on the downturn.

The Seahawks are 7-21-3 ATS in their last 31 games following a SU win of more than 14 points while the Giants are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall, 6-1 after a straight up win BUT New York is 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a bye week.

While it is conceivable that the Seahawks can cover here, we have to have a better grasp on whether this team can still compete. One strong stat in New York's favor from a straight up point of view is that the home team has that impressive 8-0 record in this series.
