THE COUNTERARGUMENT

New York Giants’ Best Argument

The New York Giants are the bigger threat to change a game with one play. Denver has less room for a coverage mistake or missed tackle. That is why the overall gap is smaller than the score first suggests. Denver still answers with the steadier quarterback room and the stronger defense, which keeps the overall judgment in place.
