Redneck High

I took a quick look through the lines for Sunday's NFL games, and a couple of matchups have caught my eye. Here are the games I'm looking at:

Sunday

Giants (+3) at Eagles

Saints (-2) at Packers

I lean toward the Giants because of what I see as the difference in the quarterbacks. Eli Manning matched right up with big brother Peyton last week, and is showing signs this could be the year he really blossoms. Donovan McNabb, on the other hand, has for years been the NFL's most overrated QB (Michael Vick is his closest competition for that title). The Eagles look to be a team on the down slope, while the Giants are rising. I prefer putting my money on rising teams.

As for the Packers, they're just bad. Real bad. Poor ol' Brett Favre. He was so good for so long, and this is how he has to go out. I'm very surprised the line is this close, but I suppose the oddsmakers are spotting the Pack a big handful because of the Lambeau Field location.
