Post NFC Odds
A battle for top spot in the
NFC East highlights Week 8 in the NFL and Bodog.com
bookmakers have posted the odds.
The New York
Giants (4-2) opened as 2-point favorites as
they prepare to host division rival Washington
(4-2) on Sunday.
"The
Giants have been a surprising team, but last
Sunday's dramatic one-point win over Denver
proves they're for real," says Bodog.com
Founder and CEO Calvin Ayre, noting New York's
stunning 24-23 victory over the Broncos in Week
7. "Let's see if they can carry the momentum
from that win into Sunday's showdown against
the hot Redskins."
After
pounding the San Francisco 49ers 52-17 last
week, the Redskins enter the weekend on a roll.
With quarterback Mark Brunell and receiver Santana
Moss clicking, Washington has proven to be formidable
on offense. The Giants, meanwhile, continue
to improve under second-year quarterback Eli
Manning, who displayed patience and skill in
the winning drive against Denver. Two streaking
teams fighting for a division lead usually means
great football, and this contest should be no
different.
The
third team atop the NFC East, the Philadelphia
Eagles, is also involved in a key game. Philadelphia
(4-2) travels to Denver to take on the AFC West-leading
Broncos (5-2). With Donovan McNabb and Terrell
Owens leading the way, the Eagles (4-2) will
aim to fly away with a victory. The Broncos,
looking to rebound from last week's disappointing
loss, are listed as 3.5-point favorites.
