San Francisco 49ers vs New York Giants
When: Sunday October 11 at 8:30pm est
Where: MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey
Spread: New York Giants -7
The New York Giants are coming off two straight wins and have aspirations of moving into first place in the NFC East while the 49ers have lost three straight games. The 49ers have at times looked lost out on the football field and look to be struggling to find an identity. San Francisco has actually been outscored 107-28 in their last three games. The 49ers will have their hands full on the road vs this New York Giants squad.
New York's quarterback Eli Manning is coming off a great performance vs the Buffalo Bills. Manning threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns on the road vs a strong Bills' defense. The Giants defense has come to play this season to date as they rank 11th in the league in scoring defense and first vs the run. This could spell trouble for the struggling 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick has really struggled this season. He is coming off two flat out ugly games where he is averaging around 113 yards passing and has thrown five interceptions. It will be important for the 49ers to establish a running game to take some pressure off their qb but that will be a tall order in this game.
The 49ers are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall plus 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. The Giants are 5-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record plus 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 5. This will definitely be a heavy public side in taking the Giants but I believe it is the right side until the 49ers can show us something. Lay the touchdown.
