Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsNew Giants safety Antoine Bethea is getting ready to enter his 14th NFL season, so he knows a thing or two about both sides of the ball.And so far, the Giants newest safety likes how the team’s defensive secondary is shaping up, particularly at safety, where Bethea is expected to be paired with Jabrill Peppers, the young safety acquired from the Cleveland Browns as part of the Odell Beckham Jr. trade Monday.“I think the first thing that I think of is both us being able to play both positions,” he said when asked how he and Peppers will complement each other in defensive coordinator James Bettcher’s defensive backfield. “So obviously the offense can’t dictate who’s going to be the down safety, who’s going to be back, so I think that will play in our hands some where we can disguise the defense, disguise the coverage and make a quarterback think post snap rather than pre-snap.”Bethea, who described Peppers as a “good young safety,” suggested that Giants fans are going to like what they see from the youngster. “Being a fan of the game and playing the safety position, obviously you look across the league and see what other guys are doing Rhett Ellison Color Rush Jersey ,” he said.“Looking at his play, for the first two years, man he’s been doing some great things. Very versatile—can do a lot of things play in the box play back in the post so I’m excited to be able to play alongside of him.”It was Bethea’s familiarity with Bettcher, for whom Bethea was with during 2017 in Arizona that led him to sign with the Giants.Bethea was asked why, despite being this far along in his career, he would want to go to a team that is clearly in a rebuild mode rather than poised to win now. He quickly dismissed the idea the Giants were rebuilding and pointed out that no matter who is on the roster or how much experience they might have, there’s still a job to be done. “At the end of the day we gotta come to play on Sundays, so regardless of the names you have on paper, you still gotta go out there and perform,” he said. “So you get a new nucleus and some good guys who can work together.“Obviously, the league year just got started so I know upstairs is doing what they need to do to build a great team. So as players, our job is to come out there and put out our best performance, our best foot forward and put the best product we can out there on the field.”At the same time, Bethea is sensitive to the fact that the Giants fan base is still reeling from the loss of Collins Olivier Vernon Color Rush Jersey , who signed with Washington this week. “I mean, they should be upset,” he said. “Landon is one of the best safeties in the league and a three-time Pro Bowler who played well for the Giants. Myself — and I know Jabrill will say the same thing — I’m pretty sure he’s confident in his play and I’m confident in my play as well. So we’re going to come in here and do what we know what to do and play at a high level.”Bethea who has mostly been a durable player, credits the eight seasons he spent as a member of the Colts for having learned what it takes to be a pro’s pro “I think it’s all about being consistent and taking care of your body,” he said. “I think as far as that longevity, coming into the league, I was fortunate enough to walk in the locker room and be around some greats—(receiver) Marvin Harrison, (quarterback) Peyton Manning, (tight end) Dallas Clark, (receiver) Reggie Wayne—those guys taught me how to be a pro, and I think that’s one of the things I hang my hat on: being a pro’s pro.”And speaking of Manning, Bethea, who has faced Peyton’s younger brother Eli five times in his career, was asked for his take on whether the younger Manning still has enough juice left in his 38-year-old arm to be a winner.“He’s a champion Odell Beckham Jr Color Rush Jersey ,” Bethea said. “Been the leader of this organization for a long time. Obviously, he can still make all the throws and having Saquon back there running the rock out, that’s going to help him out a lot. “So I’m happy to be a part of this organization and happy to be one of his teammates and I’m excited to see where he can lead us.” Somewhere around 7 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, these picks crossed the threshold — we’re over .500 for the season. Week 10 was the third straight week of eight wins. Let’s try to make it four or just win more.Remember these picks are strictly for fun and entertainment purposes and please for your sake do not take these picks as gambling advice. Lines used here come from the Westgate Las Vegas via OddsShark. Home team in CAPS.Note: there’s no line for Cincinnati at Baltimore because no one knows who is going to play quarterback for the Ravens. We’ll update that pick when a quarterback (fingers crossed for Lamar Jackson) is named and a line comes out. Update: Lamar Jackson starting, Baltimore (-6). Let’s do it.SEATTLE (-2.5) over Green BayThis should be a fun game. Both of these teams — despite the disappointing records — are top-10 in DVOA. Seattle ranks eighth overall and Green Bay is 10th. The Seahawks offense should be able to keep pace with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense and the Seattle defense should have the advantage to make that a little easier to do. Add that this game is in Seattle and the Seahawks being favored, even by a little, sounds right.[Update: Starting the week with another win. 1-0].Carolina (-4) over DETROITWhat do we make of Carolina? They were a strange team to start the year, had a brief dominant stretch, then got embarrassed by Pittsburgh last Thursday. But then there’s Detroit, who hasn’t exactly inspired at any point this season. The Panthers’ defense hasn’t been anywhere near where it’s been over the past few seasons — 24th in DVOA — but Detroit’s offense isn’t good enough to take advantage and Carolina’s offense is significantly better than the Lions defense.Tennessee (+2.5) over INDIANAPOLISThis game could be more fun than it looked like four weeks ago. Indianapolis only has an 18.7 percent chance of making the playoff per Football Outsiders, but the Colts have played well lately and rank 15th in DVOA. Tennessee is right behind them at 16th and the Titans defense is the best unit of the bunch. In a game that should be close, we can go with the points.ATLANTA (-3.5) over DallasIt looked like Atlanta was figuring out what it needed to, then whatever happened in Cleveland happened. The offense is still one of the best in the league — fourth in both yards and points per drive — but the defense is now the worst unit in the league by DVOA. The Falcons might get Deion Jones back this week, which would help against a Dallas offense that’s gone between fine and meh this season. Tampa Bay (+1.5) over GIANTSTampa Bay had more than 500 yards of offense B.J. Goodson Color Rush Jersey , but just three points last week. You can either laugh at that type of futility or realize a high number of things had to go wrong to come away with so few points. If the Bucs can put up close to that type of yardage on Sunday, expect way more points against a defense that has allowed the eighth-most yards and points per drive.Houston (-3) over WASHINGTONWashington is not a good team. The offense is just 21st in points per drive and 24th in big play rate. It’s a slow, methodical pace down the field. That’s probably not going to work against a Houston defense that’s been one of the best units in the league this season. There’s a dangerous pass rush against an injury-plagued offensive line and the Houston secondary has improved play throughout the season. Pittsburgh (-5.5) over JACKSONVILLEThe Jaguars just aren’t the same team they were last season. The defense is still good, but there’s a big difference between first and ninth in defensive DVOA, especially when the offense drops from 14th to 28th. So while we can have memories of the five-interception game from Ben Roethlisberger, the Jaguars aren’t playing at that level and the Steelers are playing way better.CHARGERS (-7) over DenverThere are maybe three or four divisions the Broncos could lead right now, but they play in the AFC West and sit at 3-6 despite ranking ninth in DVOA. The quarterback play hasn’t been consistent enough and that’s not going to work in a division with the Chiefs and Chargers. The Chargers have turned into one of the best teams in the league — third in overall DVOA, third on offense, and 11th on defense. Philip Rivers is having one of the best years of his career — third in QBR — and even typical Chargers things like bad kickers haven’t slowed them down.ARIZONA (-5.5) over OaklandSo this is where we are with the Raiders, huh? 5.5-point dogs to the Cardinals and I don’t even flinch taking Arizona. The Cardinals are surprisingly sixth in defensive DVOA and that just might be enough to let the Arizona offense take the lead on a terrible Raiders defense. At least the Cardinals have some young players and hope for the future. The Raiders are just unwatchable.NEW ORLEANS (-8) over PhiladelphiaThis is the Saints at home in the dome against an Eagles secondary that is falling apart more by the minute. Even as New Orleans has struggled on defense this season — 29th in yards allowed per drive and 27th in points allowed per drive — Philadelphia hasn’t shown the offensive ability to keep up if this turns into a shootout.Minnesota (+2.5) over CHICAGOThe biggest weakness in Minnesota is the offensive line and that’s going to be an issue against the Chicago pass rush. But the Vikings do have enough on offense to get around that and the defense has played better of late — fourth in yards allowed per drive and fifth in points allowed per drive — which could slow down Mitchell Trubisky if the situation isn’t ideal for him.Kansas City (+3.5) over RAMSGive me the points, the over, and this matchup again in February, please.Last week: 8-5-1Season: 72-70-6
