The New York Giants will look to continue a torrid offensive pace as they play host to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Atlanta rolls into the matchup as road underdogs by a four-point margin, according to OddsShark. After forcing six turnovers against the Washington Redskins as three-point underdogs, it's not hard to see why the Falcons would have trouble in the Big Apple.

The New York Giants have been two-faced this season and sit at 2-2. Which team do the experts expect to show up on Sunday against the Falcons?

After getting off to a miserable 0-2 start, the G-Men have found new life on offense with by averaging 32.5 points per game in two victories over the Houston Texans and Washington Redskins. Eli Manning has turned his season around and morphed into a once-again-elite passer, throwing six touchdowns against just one interception in those last two contests.
In addition to playing in hostile territory, the Falcons will have to contend with injuries to three of its top four wideouts, Julio Jones (ankle, limited Thursday), Devin Hester (ankle, limited Thursday) and Harry Douglas (foot, did not practice Thursday).
If that weren't enough, starter Roddy White is coming fresh off a hamstring injury that caused him to miss one game thus far. It's clear that if quarterback Matt Ryan wants to carve up the beatable Giants secondary, he'll have to do it with limited resources.
Given all of the information at hand, SB Nation’s team of prognosticators give a slight edge to New York by a 4-3 margin.
Yahoo Sports likes the Giants by a 2-0 margin, as does ESPN with a convincing 12-2 mark among its experts. CBS Sports completes the New York clean sweep by unanimously pegging the Giants as winners, 9-0.
