Giants by 9 indeed, as I predicted here yesterday: http://gothamist.com/2008/09/04/nfl.php#comments

imagine how good they would have been had they taken care of business at home? No more "good" than they actually were. Winning doesn't make a team good, being good allows them to win. Had they won more games, people might have perceived them as being better -- but in actuality they would still have been the same team with the same skills and talent level, and so would have been just as "good." As it turned out, the argument could be made that their season might have been worse had they won one more home game. They would have then had the home advantage for the first playoff game, and (since they really still wouldn't have been a better home team) might have lost that game. It would have been viewed then as a failing season, and Tom Coughlin probably would have been out of a job instead of being the genius that he now is. Because, of course, winning is what makes a coach "good."

I really don't care about New Jersey teams.
