The battle of the Manning brothers will see two similar
offenses going up against each other, in as much as their respective run games
are not yet settled, but both teams have fine quarterbacks throwing to deep
receiving corps.
Big brother went bananas in the second half last week and
the Denver passing game seemed irresistible, however there are still problems
along the offensive line and even with Peyton's ability to read the game and
get the ball out quickly, if the Giants can bring pressure, it may slow him down; but that's a very big if.
New York should have beaten Dallas last week, but they
turned the ball over far too much and it was two of those turnovers by Wilson
(and an injury) that has left the backfield in a state of flux. David Wilson was supposed to be
the answer on the ground, and the Giants need to establish that element today to allow Eli Manning to throw to the likes of Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks,
Rueben Randle and Brandon Myers and rest their defense.
It's difficult to see the nicked up Giants'
secondary slowing Peyton and his receivers, particularly with the emergence of
Julius Thomas, and so I expect this to be a tough go for the Giants. It should be a
high-scoring game, as Eli throws to keep up with the Denver offensive
juggernaut.
