NFL Week 12 Free Pick: Take New York. These are the spots where you take the Giants. When their backs are against the wall and nobody expects them to win. It’s when they’re favored, like Week 11 against the Eagles, when the Giants usually fall flat. New York has a knack for playing up to its competition and Tom Coughlin won’t allow his team to come out and look as sloppy as it did a week ago. The Giants may not win outright, but they’ll give the Saints a game. According to latest NFL trends, the Giants are 4-0 against the spread in their last four Monday night games and 30-14 ATS in their last 44 road games.
