00:02 - Barkley going down late in that historic comeback

00:05 for the Giants in the desert on Sunday.

00:08 He is set to miss at least three weeks

00:11 with what the Giants are categorizing

00:13 only a ordinary ankle sprain,

00:16 but DRS he's out for three weeks,

00:19 which means the spread for Thursday on a short week

00:22 for Big Blue to get ready,

00:24 10 and a half in favor of the 49ers.

00:28 - Yeah, you don't really wanna lay that many points,

00:29 but let's take a look at what the Giants had to do

00:31 on Sunday.

00:32 Number one, they played out on the West Coast on the road

00:34 and they used a lot of energy in a comeback

00:37 and also lost multiple guys,

00:38 including some starting offensive linemen

00:41 and also now losing Saquon Barkley.

00:43 You're looking at going into a matchup

00:44 against one of the very best football teams in the league,

00:47 which includes a devastating pass rush,

00:49 which everything is gonna be on Danny Dimes now

00:51 to lead a miraculous victory here.

00:53 I don't see it coming.

00:54 Now, am I excited about laying 10 and a half?

00:56 But I'm gonna tell you one thing right now,

00:58 I'm not building a pathway

01:00 towards the Giants covering the spread.

01:02 It's probably gonna come more from profits

01:03 and also just taking a look here at the FanBlue Sportsbook,

01:06 we're not expecting a lot out of the Giants.

01:08 Their team total, Ben, sits at 16 and a half,

01:11 and that's gonna be a tough one to get over

01:13 because you're leaning on that wide receiving core,

01:15 which is average at best.

01:17 Daniel Jones at quarterback, average at best,

01:20 without your best running back

01:21 and multiple offensive line starters that could be down.

01:24 Things aren't looking up here for the Giants.

01:26 They're lucky they got that win last week.

01:27 Otherwise, we'd be staying directly at 0-3

01:29 on what changes need to be made in the front office

01:32 and also coaching staff.
