This just in...Atlanta sucks

Coming off a solid weekend from Murdoch, I will be offering up tonight's matchup. Atlanta is a team that is not good...yet, has played a bit better than people realize. However, the Giants are their worst possible matchup tonight. The Falcons have lost both their bookends on their offensive line (both left and right tackles) and are starting two undrafted rookies. Ouch. This is normally bad news for any team, but when their first assignment is protecting Harrington/Leftwich (both horribly unmobile) from Strahan (NFL career leader in sacks) and Umenyiora (Giants record 6 sacks last game), this goes from bad to nightmare. The G-Men sacked Mcnabb 12 times last time out and are licking their chops tonight. Oh, and the Giants have Brandon Jacobs back and, don't look now, but Eli is starting to look like an average NFL QB. The Giants are a completely different team after the second week of the year (perhaps thanks to Tiki Barber's ridiculous comments) and seem to be playing with something to prove. I like the Giants BIG in this game...the line should be double digits.

N.Y. Giants -4 (***)
