The Giants are the defending champs and a strong favorite to repeat so it is no surprise they are doing well. The Ravens, on the other hand, are making a run with a rookie quarterback.

Joe Flacco threw for 185 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over Houston, and he has thrown six TD passes without an interception during Baltimore's win streak. Will Flacco's strong play be enough to overcome being pegged as 7-point underdogs on Sunday?

Maybe not all by himself, but the Ravens defense will give the Giants running game all they can handle. They yield an NFL-low 65.4 rushing yards per game, and have not allowed more than 76 in any game this year.

The Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.
