What happened to the Giants this Monday is unforgivable. By that I mean I cannot forgive the Giants for being such a terrible ball club right now. Here is what bothers me the most: The club had every opportunity to create a better situation for themselves and failed to capitalize on that in the offseason and especially in free agency. Anyone following the team knows the long and historical decline of the O-Line. Now Victor Cruz is complaining about the number of targets? Yeah, the Giants are a hot mess who are going to try to save their soul this Sunday at 1PM. I’m not watching. I can’t watch. I can’t look away if I watch, because it is like a car wreck in progress. Eli has his thumb in his mouth and he’s reaching for is safety blanket in the form of TE Larry Donell. That is just not going to cut it, and odds are the Giants are just not going to win. Here’s some tips on who might win:
PIT over BAL
They say the best way to get over distractions is to throw yourself into work (okay maybe I say that), but the power of the media machine and the Ray Rice story is enough to distract the team just a bit. PIT has too much D for BAL to win this one.
MIA over BUF
The Dolphins showed me something in that win over the Patriots. They proved they can slug it out with a great coach, even though they don’t have what anyone would consider a great team. The O-Line in MIA is solid and that will keep them in this shootout all the way to the end.
CAR over DET
The Panthers are flat out better than the Giants, and their secondary can slow down everyone outside of Megatron. At the same time, the offense can control the clock enough to make this a close win.
ATL over CIN
Not sold on the Red wonder.
NO over CLE
MIN over NE
Too much AP here.
NYG over AZ
Here’s what I noticed at the game–Carson Palmer’s tendencies and the playcalling tendencies are extremely obvious. They get by on having so many talented players that it forces the opponent into 1 on 1 situations where they often lose. The Giants will win those matchups defensively, and the way the Cards D is beat up means there will be some space in the short middle zone to do damage. I wanna believe in NYC so bad.
TEN over DAL
SEA over SD
STL over TB
DEN over KC
NYJ over GB
Despite Geno, Gang green gets a tight win.
OAK over HOU
I believe in Carr!
SF over CHI
Start the SF defense here. There’s go’n to be a killin…
IND over PHI
Philly was exposed by the Jags. They can be beat and IND has the O to do it.
