At 7:00pm ET, my NFC NFLX GOY is on the New York Giants. The Lions were a bad team for many years. They needed to take wins anywhere and any way that they could get them. Things have changed. The Lions are now a good team. They easily won the NFC North last year and they're favored to win the division again this year. Now that they've become a good team, winning a Week 1 preseason road game takes on less importance. The Giants are in a different position. They were 6-11 last year and they are projected to finish last in the NFC East this season. They are now a team which could use wins any way that they can get them. They don't need to give the home fans a reason to start piling on them already. The Giants will take this game more seriously and will win and cover the spread. Play on New York.
