SEAHAWKS/GIANTS Over 38.5 (Sunday) - This seems like a contrarian play based on these teams performances so far. However, the last 2 head-to-head meetings between these two teams were decided by scores of 27-24 and 30-28. The Giants? Kerry Collins is in the best form of his career, topping 300 yards passing in each of the first 2 games. The addition of tight end Shockey has forced teams to play more single coverage vs. the New York wide receivers, as Shockey is a very legitimate receiving threat. The Giants have not run the ball well so far, but Barber is healthier than he has been all season, and he is running against a Seattle defense that is allowing a horrible 235 rushing yards per game. The last time Trent Dilfer played against the Giants, he led the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory. He did not look terrible in his first game back from injury last week, and he should get better support from RB Shaun Alexander this week to help open up some passing lanes.
