12/12/21 Best Bet: New York Giants +9 (-115)
A game so ugly, I just have to have action on it. The Giants are starting Mike Glennon, a quarterback that has a lifetime winning percentage of 20% over 35 games. That’s atrocious. I really was hoping the Giants started Jake Fromm for the surprise factor, but here we are. I’m getting almost double digits against a Chargers team that keeps everything close. No Keenan Allen and Derwin James questionable. Also, Chris Harris was on COVID protocol earlier in the week. I’m getting Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepherd back for the Giants, which will help Glennon, who is a more standard pocket QB. I really think this is the week where Barkley (and Devonte Booker) can make a difference. Chargers are dead last against the rush. I expect, once again, for Patrick Graham (Giants Defensive Coordinator), the lone bright spot on the Giants to come up with a daunting game plan that will limit Ekeler and Williams, the two main weapons for the Chargers. If this turns into an ugly game, I love all the points with the Giants.
