NY Giants (6-4) at New Orleans (7-3)

I liked all three picks yesterday in what has been a difficult season - and promptly went 1-2.

Be warned, I have the same strong feeling for the Saints!

The outstanding Giants' pass rush is carrying injuries (and absentees) and I expect Darren Sproles and Jimmy Graham in particular to give New York problems. Brees has plenty of other options and should be able to hit them against a soft Giants' secondary.

New Orleans can't stop the run, but Brandon Jacobs doesn't have the reliability of Ahmad Bradshaw, who has been ruled out again, and Manning has a couple of nicked up receivers in what is admittedly a talented bunch; he's playing in his hometown too and should be fired up, but I'll take the Saints to go marchin' in.

Pick: Saints -7 @ 1.91; -110; 10/11

Pick: 1st TD Jimmy Graham @ 7.5; 650; 13/2
Pick: Anytime TD Victor Cruz @ 2.2; 120; 6/5
