Let's see what you got. The poll serves to summarize.
Pete Prisco, likes the Rams this week; http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/p...ms-chargers-really-eagles-jags-are-best-bets/
Rams plus-3 vs. Giants: This will be an early start in London, so body clocks could be an issue. I think the Rams' defense will pressure Eli Manning into mistakes. The Rams won't do much on offense, either, so look for L.A. to win a close game late.
Here is ESPN best bets; http://www.espn.com/chalk/insider/s...reak-how-bet-new-york-giants-los-angeles-rams
Matchup: New York Giants at Los Angeles Rams (in London)
Spread: Opened New York -3; now New York -3 (EVEN)
Total: Opened 44; now 43.5
PickCenter public consensus pick: 53 percent New York
Public perception: Other bet-tracking sites have the public more squarely on the Giants. Say what you will about Odell Beckham Jr.'s sideline antics, but he really stepped up on the field last week to help beat the Ravens.
Wiseguys' view: Sharps are split on this game, with those on the Giants preferring to lay -2.5 and those on the Rams taking the +3.
Dave Tuley's take: Both teams have been inconsistent (both are 3-3 SU; Rams are 3-2-1 ATS, while the Giants are 1-3-2 ATS), so I'm really not sure which teams are going to show up in London. The Rams, for all their improvement, are still ranked No. 31 in total offense, and I think it's more likely that the defenses will show up, so I'm on the under.
The pick: Under 43.5* (lean to Giants -3)
Rufus Peabody:
Last week, the Giants became only the second team this season to win a game with a turnover differential of minus-three or worse. The first team to do it: the same Giants team in Week 2 against New Orleans. New York is now minus-10 in turnover margin this season, and a big reason has been Eli Manning, who has fumbled five of 11 times he has been sacked. As a whole, the Giants have lost seven of their 10 fumbles, while forcing only five opponent fumbles (and recovering just one of those). Basically, the Giants are an average team that has had some awful fumble luck. Unfortunately, I don't have a play on this game, as I make the Giants a 2.5-point favorite.
Pick: Pass
Massey-Peabody Line: New York -2.5; Total: 44.8
Mike Clay:
Prediction: New York Giants 21, Los Angeles 17
The pick: New York Giants and the under -- NYG -3, 43.5
