Manning leaves practice with 'stomach bug'
Football Betting Lines
01/18/2012 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning left practice Wednesday with a stomach illness that head coach Tom Coughlin was hopeful wouldn't keep him off the field much longer.
The Giants started their first practice for Sunday's NFC Championship Game in San Francisco with Manning on the field, but ended it without him.
"He has a stomach bug," Coughlin said. "Hopefully it's just a 24-hour deal and he'll feel better tomorrow."
Manning was listed as a limited participant on the injury report. Backup David Carr took over at practice after he left.
"He wasn't feeling great. But it's not like we're re-inventing the wheel if I have to go in there," Carr said. "If he didn't have the kind of red-belt mastery of the offense, then [it hurts not having him out there]. But he does. It's not something that's going to affect him."
Manning passed for a career-high 4,933 yards and 29 touchdowns in the regular season and has thrown for 607 yards and six scores in playoff wins over the Falcons and Packers.

The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
