Giants at Dolphins Monday Night Game Overview
</div>
<p>
By the time this game rolls around on Monday night, the 5-7 Giants could either be in sole possession of first-place in the NFC East or a half-game off the pace depending on what the other three teams in this division do on Sunday. Despite the fact that New York has lost its last three games straight-up it remains right in the mix in easily the worst division in the NFC this year. Over their last eight games, the Giants are 3-4-1 against the spread with the total going OVER in five of those games.
</p>
<p>
New York has made "shooting itself in the foot" an art form this season, especially when it comes to blowing fourth-quarter leads. It had the game in hand last week against the New York Jets, but some questionable calls down the stretch led to a 23-20 loss in overtime as a 2.5-point home underdog. Eli Manning remains hit or miss at quarterback lately with five touchdown throws against four interceptions over his last three games. He has completed fewer than 55 percent of his attempts in those three losses.

The 5-7 Dolphins would probably have to win out and still get help to earn a wildcard spot in the AFC, but they are coming off a tight 15-13 victory over Baltimore this past Sunday as three-point home favorites. It was just their second win in their last six games both SU and ATS. The total stayed UNDER the 43.5-point betting line against the Ravens and it has stayed UNDER in four of those six contests.
</p>
<p>
Since posting back-to-back wins against Tennessee and Houston in late October in which Miami scored a combined 82 points, the team has not crossed the 20-point mark in its last six games. Overall, the Dolphins are ranked 27th in the NFL in scoring with an average of 20 points a game. Their defense has had its issues too this season against both the pass and the run. This unit is ranked 27th in the league in average yards allowed (390.3) and it is 24th in points-allowed (25.0).

New York Giants at Miami Dolphins Prediction

This is obviously a must-win game for the Giants given their current slide, but I also believe it is a game they will win given the current form of Miami. Lay the point and a half on the current spread as New York finally finds a way to play all four quarters on Monday night.
