It’s the Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Super book Bodog has the Giants a three-point favorite with a total of 33. While the point spread remains steady, the total hovers from 33.5-33.5.
For that game, we present two independent betting previews. The first is from the top NFL handicapper of all-time, the Grandmaster Joe Duffy, the other from Bodog, the home of the sharp NFL odds.
First from the all-time leader in NFL expert picks:
Those who bet totals will want to note that each team will be without their key receiver by the name of Steve Smith.
For the Panthers Smith: though the injury to four-time Pro Bowl WR Steve Smith was not as bad as expected and he is back practicing, he will not play tonight.
The Giants are minus two veteran receivers from last year as Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer are not with the team, but third round draft pick Ramses Barden has been a major pleasant surprise. Barden is a 6-6 receiver. The Giants Steve Smith, who had 57 receptions last year is out. Domenik Hixon and Sinorice Moss will likely start at WR.
Other key players out for Big Blue include CBs Corey Webster and Aaron Ross, DT Chris Canty and DT Fred Robbins.
Expect vanilla from each team as they meet again during the regular season. For bettors have love handicapping position battles as motivation during the preseason, note that the Giants have 20 of their 22 starters back.

Now from Bodog, here is their look:
Sure there are a lot of games this weekend but if you are already looking ahead to Monday Night Football on ESPN you will get to see the Carolina Panthers face the New York Giants.
The Giants enter the preseason looking to re-establish their positive vibes and to get back into the championship groove. At the same time this veteran contender will not likely want to expose key players such as quarterback Eli Manning to injury in the exhibition season.
Running back Ahmad Bradshaw should get a fair amount of carries as he is second on the depth chart. He ran for 355 yards and a 5.3 yards per carry average last year.
For Carolina, Jonathan Stewart can’t seem to get healthy enough to practice with the team. The running back missed his third straight workout Thursday and has been held out of almost all contact drills when he has practiced.
