NFL Best Bets for Week 8
October 28th 2011- Old Man Winner             

NYG -9.5 vs. Mia

I can't remember the last time the Giants have been at full strength with no significant injuries. They are now and that is very bad news for Miami fans. They are also coming off a bye and even their bumps and bruises have healed. Oh, and did I mention that they are also playing at home? They are playing at home. Or that their #1 draft pick, Prince Amukamara, is finally healthy and will only help their secondary.

And, if that is not enough, they are playing a team that, if things work out well, will be sending out their injured second string QB. But, if they are unlucky, could literally be sending out a QB that they just picked up this week off the scrap heap because their 3rd string QB is out for the season. No, not Carson Palmer. We all saw how well that worked out after a week of practice with the Raiders. Yes, we could see a JP Losman sighting this week - straight off his MVP season in the now defunct UFL.

Eli has looked much better since his line is giving him time, Manningham is back and they have discovered new talent in Victor Cruz and Jake Ballard. The Giants have averaged over 330 yds passing in their last three games and their defense is just getting started.
