Head Coach Brain Dabool has some nice words for Pete Carroll and the Seahawks. He seems like a good guy tbh. Kind of hard to not like him.

The Giants are a better team than you guys are giving them credit for.

What would our record be if we played the Cowboys and Niners, and not the Lions and Panthers? We'd probably be 0-3 or 1-2 as well.

Line seems fair, especially if Barkley's back.

Not to take anything away from the Giants but it does feel like this is the worst QB and worst Offense and worst Defense we have faced thus far. Their best player in Barkley is banged up, their Oline is mid if not worst, and other than Waller their WR group is lacking.

Defensively our strength matches up with their strength, and our passing defense might able to handle a passing offense for once.

With that said this is a must win opportunity for the Giants and they probably trying to give us their best shot, so it might not be easy.

On the flip side, it is a national game and those types of games tend to bring out the best in Carroll coached teams. And with the bye coming up, I think these guys will be juiced up to go out there and try to put up their best and most complete game and earn a much needed medical/rehab vacation for all the guys that are banged up or injured and hurting right now.

I can definitely see this game being competitive but I can easily see this team rolling the Giants into a blunt and smoking the crap out of them too.

I am going to this game. The Giants aren't good, this spread should be bigger. Daniel Jones is a game manager who won't be up to the task.

I found a Seahawks fan tailgate at MetLife Stadium. Let me know if anyone is going, it would be cool to meet people in person.

It’s down to 1 now. Home team gets 2 points automatically by Vegas so it’s basically a pick ‘em

Any game is an entity all by itself. Giants come back from 17 down and beat the Cardinals. The next week the Cardinals beat the Cowboys. Go figure.

Crazy shit happens every single week in the NFL. Truly, anything can happen. Lions beat the Chiefs and so on.

Obviously the Giants could beat us Monday. Hell, they might.

But I doubt it.

My money is on the Hawks.

Seahawks are now favored by 1 at Caesar’s Sportsbook. That’s a 3-3.5 point move since the line opened.

Not that it really matters, I like being an underdog on the road in prime time games. Not that professionals need any extra motivation but it doesn’t hurt.

It's usually a good sign when the late money comes in on your team, those are the hardened degenerate gamblers who know their shizzle.

If we're discussing such things. Personally I don't think it means much. But fun to talk about.

I like it if it makes some kind of sense. It should be offensive to anyone that is a Seahawk fan that the Giants were ever favored we are an 8-9/9-8 type team not horrible but in serious need of a total reset and cleanup of the entire organization. The Giants....need way more because that quarterback is the definition of average. And they straight suck.

There’s nothing to take offense to unless you just want to be offended all the time. They’re making educated guesses on what the betting public will evenly bet on and they adjust their lines as bets come in. They don’t give a rat’s ass who wins the game or who is better, they’re judging the public.

Seattle in NY on MNF...yeah, I'll take Seattle by two touchdowns. Daniel Jones is booty, Seattle's DBs are primed for a coming out party this week.

Home Teams are usually awarded a 3 point cushion. So that would translate to 4.5 point favourites if we were playing them at Lumen.

Lines are all about setting up bets to be evenly distributed. It doesn't matter what fans think. Only what Vegas thinks the bettors think. It's probably a good line to get bets falling evenly on either side but we'll see where it shifts after injury reports on Friday.
The 2nd paragraph is correct but the 1st paragraph is completely and utterly wrong. I urge people to ignore that section. Betting points are NOT equal.
