T.M. Selection: New York Giants.

I like the New York Giants to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday. The Giants have looked much better in their last 2 games and I think they have a real chance at winning this game at home against the Raiders. Their defense has played great 2 weeks in a row now only giving up 3 points to the Panthers and 20 points to the Chiefs. They not only stopped that great offense but they had a chance to win that game if it wasn't for some end of the game mistakes made by them. The Raiders have had a lot of off the field drama happen to them this year and I think it all has to be building up in a very negative way. First their coach stepped down and they have rallied since then to win their games but now they are faced with another situation in Henry Ruggs who was released from the team due to a DUI incident involving a death. The team has to be very emotional right now and I think the Giants can take advantage here with the way they have been playing. I like the Giants to cover the spread here with all of the off field distractions for the Raiders.

T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Giants.
