Cam Skattebo takes issue with Vegas' view of New York Giants

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo thinks "it's dumb" that they were underdogs at home against the Arizona Cardinals.

The New York Giants secured their third win of the season against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4, despite being underdogs at home. Giants running back Cam Skattebo expressed his dissatisfaction with being labeled underdogs, stating, "That was BS. These guys love each other, we know we have to protect our castle." Skattebo emphasized the difficulty of being a strong team facing adversity at one's own venue.

The Cardinals, without their star player Kyler Murray, appeared to be a vastly different team, which led to their underdog status according to Las Vegas oddsmakers. Giants fans and players seemed to agree that being the underdogs at MetLife Stadium was an unwarranted disadvantage. The Giants responded by handling the Cardinals effectively, recording 58 yards on the ground and contributing to a strong offensive performance.

Jameis Winston and Malik Nabers connected six times for 112 yards and a touchdown, while three receivers and three defenders scored crucial interceptions. As the Giants prepare for their next divisional game against the Washington Commanders, it is evident that they are not to be underestimated despite the oddsmakers' predictions.
