Giant Steps

I think this game will boil down to intensity. Let's face it, the Giants can come back from a deficit. They play well under pressure, no need to fool ourselves on that. However, here are the things I think play to our favor. They have two new faces on their linebacking corps. LaVar, who has been largely ineffective so far this season and whoever is replacing the oft injured Carlos Emmons. To me,this is where the game will be won. We'll create some good match ups and exploit that. Also, mentally I'm not sure where this team is. I'm not sure everyone has fully bought into the Coughlin way. I know Plaxico isn't crazy about him. Shockey isn't. Tiki has expressed his sentiments as well.

Can this translate down to a single game - maybe. But if we can combine those question marks with a hot Redskins offense, and a mean ass Mike Sellers plowing the way for CP and Betts.....I say we win this one, 24*10.
