How Important is Eli’s Injury?
It’s never a good football betting development when your Super Bowl winning franchise QB goes down with an injury. What’s worse is that the nature of the injury is a bit mysterious and no one is quite sure just how serious it might be. And that’s the troublesome part of it all.
But the Giants can rest easy this football betting week as their opponent in the just happens to be the Oakland Raiders –a team that the Giants could beat with Tom Coughlin under center if need be.
David Carr should be able to fill in aptly and the Giants are in no danger of a sports betting upset here.
The real issue at stake for New York is the extent of the injury and just how long it will keep Manning out of commission.
It’s quite possible that Manning could still make the start on Sunday and play the whole game or play sparingly. No one is quite sure, not even the Giants themselves, it seems.
The plantar fascia injury is not career threatening but it is lingering and very painful. It could nag at the QB all season and become a real concern if he’s forced out of the pocket and made to improvise on his feet.
This injury doesn’t appear that serious but if fails to go away it could create some major problems if he’s unable to perform at 100%. It could turn out that Manning will be fine in a week but nonetheless this is certainly something that football sports betting fans should monitor.
