NFL in London - New York Giants vs. Miami Dolphins

The NFL is going global on Sunday with the Week 8 football game between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins in London, England.

NFL in London - New York Giants vs. Miami Dolphins Well, folks, NFL is going international this week with the matchup between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins taking place at the new Wembley stadium in London, England. As a part of the new NFL strategy to promote the sport overseas, the league has promised two games a season to be played outside of the United States starting next year. But this season it's the New York Giants (5-2) and the "host" Miami Dolphins (0-7), live from London, England. The point spread on the New York Giants vs. Miami Dolphins game is currently favoring the Giants -10 points and the total is sitting at 48 points at Bodog Sports. NY Giants are 5-0 against the spread in their last 5 games and Miami is 1-4-2 against the spread in its last 7 games.

It's quite possible the Giants will cover the spread, even without some important players, such as RB Derrick Ward, who missed Wednesday practice along with WR Plaxico Burress. Miami are in even worse shape, DTs Vonnie Holliday and Keith Traylor, TE David Martin and LB Zach Thomas all missed practice on Wednesday. There will be no real home advantage for the Dolphins this week and longer flight means worse jet lag. Overall, the Dolphins were robbed from the little advantage they could have had against the Giants and the -10 spread looks very good.
