1. Like most of you, I’ve been tossing and turning for weeks, consumed by the plight of Eli Manning. Manning and the Giants go to Atlanta for the Monday night game. It will be the seventh time in seven games this season that they’ve been an underdog, according to Vegas. In fact, the two games in which they were considered more than a field goal underdog were the team’s best performances of the year—a Week 3 win at Houston and a Week 5 loss on a 63-yard buzzer-beater at Carolina. The point is, from 20,000 feet, the Giants are pretty much what everyone has thought they’d be, week to week.
