In fact, the Cowboys were one simple completion to a wide-open Miles Austin from winning that division and keeping the Giants home for the playoffs, probably causing the coach to be fired. They were that close to failing. Then they got us 48 hours after a devastating funeral following a horrible week with that punk, and we made more mental mistakes in 3 hours than we had in the past 35 games combined. And then one guy on the 49ers, twice, fumbles away punts to do his best imitation of Santa Claus and give the Giants the NFC Title.Oh, and the Giants didn't have to face the Saints, who own the Giants. So things just magically came together for them in one lucky run. It happens.How did the Giants do in 2008 coming off that 2007 magical carpet ride? The Giants are the champions, but Vegas sets odds like this based on overall talent, as well as how much money the betting public tends to put on them. Agree on the Jets having no chance.</blockquote>
