I'm not sure Pat Kirwan speaks for the whole league, but he does write for NFL.com, so the headline isn't too misleading. He's hopping on the Big Blue bandwagon.
New York has the pass rush, the running game and a hot quarterback who can turn the first two losses against Dallas into the experience needed to win a close game. Giants 24, Dallas 21. The deciding factor for me was Dallas' last home game against the Eagles that it lost, 10-6, against a Philadelphia defense built like New York's.
Has a 7.5-point favorite ever been such an underdog?
