Many already consider New York to be the favorite (+200) since they are the defending champion and have the best record in the NFC. But if you dig deeper, the Giants have played a relatively easy schedule where the eight teams they've faced have a 27-40 combined record.

Beginning with this matchup against the 3-point favored Eagles, who have won three straight, not one of the Giants' final eight opponents currently has a sub-.500 record.

Donovan McNabb has lost his last three starts against the Giants, while Brian Westbrook has rushed for 354 yards and three TDs in his last three games versus New York.
