The New York Giants will enjoy the customary three point cushion as the home team in Sunday's NFC Wild Card against the visiting Atlanta Falcons.
The Giants finished a season sweep of division rival Dallas 31-14 Sunday night in a play-in game for the NFC East title and a spot hosting a Wild Card round game against 10-6 Atlanta, who, combined with a Green Bay win over Detroit, locked up the No. 5 overall seed with a 45-24 win over Tampa Bay earlier in the day.
The Giants / Falcons game is tied for the smallest spread of the Wild Card weekend's four games, alongside the Bengals and Texans, who opened at Houston (-3). The Saints open as 12-point favorites hosting the Lions, while the Steelers are favored by as much as nine points heading to Denver.
