Why is NYG favoured to win Sunday?

Besides being the home team is there any other reason they have a chance at winning this game? The buffalo bills seem to be a solid team this year, unless im overlooking something

Bounceback for NYG and Buffalo is lucky to have the record they do, I like NYG in this game.

He's got nobody reliable to throw to.

Inconsistant team against a consistant one? I'll take Buffalo.

Buffalo would be favored if this one was in Buffalo. I like Buffalo and 3 pts., although the Bills have struggled to throw the ball in the last two games. But, their running game is for real, and their defense has been creating turnovers. Also, NYG lost to Seattle and Washington at home already.

Buffalo the better team but going back to last year the Bills haven't proved they can be a .500 team on the road. Gotta be .500 on the road at least to be a playoff team. Giants should be favoured but I think Buffalo gets it done this week.
They played a mediocre game last week and the previous week in Cincy. Think they step it up a bit and win by a field goal.

Because the linemakers know the same thing that I do in this one, these are the type of games that my Bills puke all over themselves just like they did in Cincinnati.

I've been listening to alot of the Buffalo sports radio this week and I keep hearing fans already talking about winning the AFC East and hosting a playoff game. I love my Bills but not only are they not winning the AFC East they will not even be a playoff team and this week will be the start of it unfortunately.

If this line does not drop to under 3 at all then you know that you are on the wrong side IMO. Very rarely do I bet on or against my Bills but this will be the week that I have a larger than normal size play on the GMen.

They see this as a trap on the road against a team that will be home the second week in a row coming off a bad loss. Giants are known for bouncing back big.

I agree if this were in buffalo it'd be the other way around and more. Bills -4 @ bills. In new york.... well look at the cincinatti game. That too probably contributed to the giants being favorites.

Giants are also known for figuring out high powered offenses. They gave the league the template to slow vick and the bears last year.

so, 2 things may happen.
1. Giants bounce back, figure out buffalo's offense and slow them down to keep it close.
2. they get decimated by the bills.

The real joke was the 3-1 (at the time) eagles IN buffalo getting the -3. That was an easy bet.

I like Buffalo but as mentioned earlier in the thread Gmen seem to figure out ways to slow teams down and make competitive games out of good teams and then find ways to lose to teams they should crush, it has to be frustrating to be a giants fan

If you just got bent over by Seattle in your stadium, then have a state rival (sort of) show up the next week, you'd be favoured too.

That's really the only reason I can think of, though. Think the Bills win this by 6.
