Jacobs, Bradshaw help Giants run over Ravens

Football Betting Lines

11/16/2008 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw powered a Giants rushing attack that piled up 207 yards on the vaunted Ravens run defense, as New York kept rolling with a 30-10 pounding of Baltimore.

Jacobs gained 73 yards on 11 carries with two touchdowns on the ground, while Bradshaw gained 96 yards on nine carries for the Giants (9-1), who won their fifth straight after their lone loss of the season, at Cleveland on October 13.

Eli Manning completed 13-of-23 passes for 153 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and Aaron Ross returned a tipped pass 50 yards for a touchdown for New York.

Joe Flacco completed 20-of-33 passes for 164 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions for the Ravens (6-4), who had won four straight. Derrick Mason had seven catches for 82 yards, but it was his drop that led to Ross' interception in the third quarter.

With the loss the Ravens fell out of a first-place tie in the AFC North with the Steelers. Pittsburgh hosted San Diego on Sunday.

After being pushed up and down the field in the first half, the Ravens climbed back into the game in the third quarter. Flacco led Baltimore on a 13-play, 79-yard drive, which he finished with a 10-yard scoring pass to LeRon McClain. The touchdown cut the Giants lead to 20-10 with 4:26 left in the third.

The Ravens defense held, and Flacco and Co. took the field looking to pull within one score of the Giants. A miscue by Mason allowed Ross and the Giants to regain the momentum, though.

On 2nd-and-5 at the Baltimore 47, Flacco threw a short pass to his left to Mason, who bobbled the ball up in the air. Ross stepped in for the interception, and ran it back 50 yards for the backbreaking score, giving the Giants a 27-10 lead with 14 seconds left in the third quarter.

A 77-yard run by Bradshaw early in the fourth quarter set up a 19-yard Lawrence Tynes field goal, and the Giants took a commanding 20-point lead with 12:02 to play.

The Ravens defense entered Sunday leading the NFL in rushing defense, having allowed just 65.4 yards per game on the ground this season, and just one rushing touchdown. New York surpassed those numbers in the first half.

The Giants came out and imposed their will on the Ravens, building a 20-0 lead with their powerful running game. Jacobs bounced off would-be tacklers and gained 36 yards on New York's second offensive play, and burst into the end zone from one yard out to cap that drive and put the Giants on top.

The Ravens answered by driving to the Giants 13, but Matt Stover's 32-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Fred Robbins. The ball was kicked by Giants defenders all the way back to the Baltimore 33.

Manning was picked off by Fabian Washington two plays later, but an offsides penalty on Justin Bannan negated the pick. Four plays later Jacobs dove in for another one-yard touchdown run. A bobbled snap prevented Tynes from kicking the extra point, and New York led 13-0 with 59 seconds left in the first.

The Giants pounded out a 12-play, 90-yard drive in the second quarter, capped by a one-yard TD pass from Manning to Darcy Johnson for a 20-0 New York lead with 7:14 left in the half.

Stover's 38-yard field goal got the Ravens on the board, but they still trailed 20-3 at the half. The Giants had a chance for more points at the end of the second quarter, but on 1st-and-10 at the Baltimore 18, Manning was picked off by Ray Lewis at the six-yard-line.

Game Notes

Stover set the NFL record for consecutive PATs made with his extra point after McClain's touchdown in the third quarter. The PAT was Stover's 372nd consecutive, breaking a tie with Jason Elam and Jeff Wilkins...Giants kicker John Carney was inactive for the game. The league's oldest player at 44, Carney was signed to fill in for Tynes, who suffered a knee injury prior to the season. Tynes returned to action for the Giants last week, but just handled kickoffs.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout

An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.

Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off.  Randy was not impressed though.  Paula thought he started off fantastic.  "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. 

Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed.  Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact.  He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. 

Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula.  Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.

Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next.  Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential.  Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell.  He sang "Careless Whisper".

22 year old Chris Richardson was up next.  He was listed with +1100 odds coming in.  He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. 

Nick was boring and pitchy.  Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week.  Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. 

Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds .  These of course were the early odds.  He was considered original for picking an "odd song".  He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. 

Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. 

Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds.  Great voice and a great sense of humor.  He's a real standout.  Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit.  Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". 

Jared Cotter followed.  He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition.  The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. 

22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next.  "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon.  Though the judges felt he performed okay.  Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.

Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition.  He was the last to perform.  He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. 

Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys.  Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
