DENVER 31 NY GIANTS 20
These two teams were among the 4 playoff victims of the champion Ravens. The Broncos have been an offensive wonder since Shanahan arrived. A year ago, they ranked 2nd to the Rams in production, despite the loss of QB Griese, and the brilliant slashes of Davis. But Denver is deep in RB's and averaged 36 points in its last 5 home games. The Broncos are 8-2 against the spread in home openers and 9-2-1 against the spread vs the NFC of late. The Giant defense held 14 of 19 foes to less than 19 points, and New York QB Collins is solid, and the rushing corps is dependable. But i'll stay with Shanahan in this type setup. Denver simply has to many weapons.
