Football Friday: New World Order

Last Week: W (Texans -6.5)
Season: 4-3-1

As the weeks progress, odds makers become sharper. Typically, after week 6 or 7, the wise guys show their true colors and start impacting lines as early as a Wednesday. There hasn't been much movement this week. The Patriots versus Rams in London is interesting (Pats -7) because there is no true "home-field advantage", but the travel/time could affect the teams and the Patriots' defense doesn't look like it can hold a 7-point lead. 

The only other QB I'd put my money behind this week (and it sickens me) is Eli Manning. The Giants are 2-point favorites, on the road, in Dallas. Looking at the stats against the spread [ATS], things look pretty pedestrian.

But Dallas, at home, with similar stats, isn't getting the obligatory three points? 

This line is BEGGING people to put their money on Romo & Co! Well I'm not taking the bait. No Demarco Murray in the backfield and no Sean Lee or DeMarcus Ware for Dallas?! 

Giants -2
