Falcons vs. Giants Wildcard Free Pick
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (The Spread) – In a matchup that is very even on paper, the Giants will host the Falcons toady at 1:00PM ET in what could be a low-scoring contest.
NFL Odds: Oddsmakers have installed the Giants as a 3-point favorite over the Falcons for today’s game, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 47.5 points. Atlanta enters the day with a 10-6 overall record and is 4-4 on the road this year, while New York is 9-7 overall and 4-4 at home.
Line Movement: The line for this game hasn’t budged since it opened at 3 points. Sports books both offshore and in Las Vegas all have the Giants listed as a 3-point favorite, while the over/under total is either 47 or 47.5 depending on what book you view.

NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take the under. The consensus is that this game will be high-scoring given the fact that both offenses have the ability to score in bunches. But these were two of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL this year and if Matt Ryan and/or Eli Manning is off their game, the combined score won’t go over the total. According to latest NFL trends, the under is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings between these two teams and 6-1 in the Giants’ last seven playoff games. Look for Atlanta to once again play things ultra-conservatively on the road and for New York’s defense to step up like it has the previous two weeks.
