New York Giants

The New York Giants are on a roll right now, having won two straight after losing each of their first two games this season.
Eli ManningEli Manning has tossed seven touchdown passes in his last three weeks, including three scoring strikes in New York’s 24-10 smackdown of Buffalo last Sunday. Manning has won five of his seven career contests against San Francisco and appears to be in good shape to do so again this weekend.
Rueben RandleUnheralded wide receiver Rueben Randle has caught a touchdown pass in each of his last two games and toasted Frisco for a team-high seven catches for 112 yards the last time he faced the 49ers.  New York is limiting the opposition to an NFL-best 69.8 rushing yards per contest.

San Francisco 49ers

The Niners have lost three straight and hasn’t scored more than seven points in either of their last two games, including their dismal 17-3 Week 4 loss to Green Bay as a 7.5-point home underdog.
Colin KaepernickEnigmatic quarterback Colin Kaepernick has failed to throw a touchdown pass in three of Frisco’s games this season and looks like he is regressing each and every contest. “I want a confident man; just full-bore ahead at that position,” San Francisco coach Jim Tomsula told reporters of his commitment to Kaepernick. “I believe it’s critical and I believe in Colin Kaepernick.”
Carlos HydeRunning back Carlos Hyde has fallen off recently, rushing for just been 114 yards during the team’s three-game slide after running for 168 yards and two touchdowns in the Niners’ 20-3 season-opening win over Minnesota. San Francisco is an NFC-worst minus-5 in turnover differential.
Game Analysis:
A whopping 69 percent of the betting public likes New York to bring home the bacon in this contest and so do I after seeing how both of these teams have played recently.
49ers vs PackersNot only are the 49ers just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games against their NFC counterparts and an awful 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall, but Colin Kaepernick looks completely lost and confused these days.
New York GiantsThe Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against a team with a losing record and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall, making them the easy pick to win and cash in!
My Pick: Giants 28 49ers 20
