Good news for those looking to find the TV channel for Patriots vs. Giants on "Thursday Night Football": This game is not limited to NFL Network; it also will be presented nationally by Fox.

The NFL schedule for Week 6 presents us this notable Super Bowl rematch even though it's not exactly a super matchup. With a 17-point spread on Thursday night's game (via Sportsbook Review), the Giants are the biggest underdogs they've ever been.

There are several reasons for that historic point spread. Yes, the 2-3 Giants are missing a handful of key offensive players, but the 5-0 Patriots have given up 34 points total this season, the fifth fewest through five games in the NFL since 1970 merger.

Sporting News predicted a Patriots victory (of course) in both our picks against the spread and our straight-up picks for Week 6, and in both picks, we have New England winning by 21 points and covering the spread.
