  "account": "The Giants entered Sunday's game as underdogs, coming into New Jersey to face the Cardinals. The Giants were 2.5-point underdogs at home to the Cardinals. The Giants won 36-24 and issued a sharp rebuttal to oddsmakers and doubters. Giants running back Cam Skattebo told ESPN, \"It's dumb to be underdogs at home, especially when you're a good football team. When people want to bet against you at your own place and you have a team coming from a six-hour flight on a time change, it's a pretty brutal feeling as a team when you feel you're put under them.\" The Giants are 3-0 at home, 3-1 overall, and leading the NFC East.",
