(SIGH)

On the FOX and ESPN pregame shows, I keep hearing how the Giants are nothing more than a 'barometer' for the Seahawks. Thus far, only Michael Irvin (with his prediction of a Giants victory) has spoken of the Giants in a way that DOESN'T reek of 'Rodney Dangerfield-no respect'.

Bah humbug. G-Men get no respect.

The Giants have only one win against a team with a winning record. If they beat the Seahags I will be forced to take them more seriously.

Huh? I think you may have a little "us against the world" syndrome with the Giants.

On ESPN they said that the Seahawks have benefited greatly from their weak division and that playing the Giants would be a barometer for how good they really are.

How is this in any way disrespectful of the Giants?

Well, on paper, Big Blue shouldn't win this game ('Hawks at home, G-men on the road, Alexander with career year, injuries in our defense, etc.). It's a good thing they actually have to play the game, though.

The fact that the 'Hawks are only 4.5 point favorites shows that the bookies have a bit more faith in the Jints than the pundits.
