Week 4: SNF: Giants @ Eagles

It has been nearly been 10 days since the NY Giants left Charlotte, North Carolina with heads high, winning 35-7 on Thursday Night Football against the Panthers. The Giants showed true resilience during their battle with injuries from Nicks, Bradshaw, Hixon, and Diehl. Only three games into the season, it is evident that the backup players will have a huge role "Building the Bridge" this year for Tom Coughlin's crew.

As a Giants fan, I believe that there is not a better time to play the Eagles than now. This Eagles team is coming off a high expectation preseason, and although they seemed like a potent force in the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves at 2-1. Philly QB Michael Vick found his way out of two pickles against a dangerous Baltimore Ravens defense, and a ridiculously awful Cleveland Browns squad. To be fair, there is no logic or reasoning into picking whether or not teams will make the postseason only three weeks in. Yet, this Eagles team has lost total motivation and confidence after being shown up by an Arizona Cardinals team that is now 3-0! (I would have never thought that Kevin Kolb and this team would pull W's out of their a** like they have now.) Vick has nine turnovers in three games, and his name has been placed on the hot seat in Phila. This is either good news or bad news for the Giants. It's great news that Vick has not performed and the Giant's D-Line can get to Vick, but it's also bad news for the case that Vick may play his best with his job on the line.

The Giants will go into Sunday night without WR Hakeem Nicks due to another injury he suffered in Week 2, but RB Ahmad Bradshaw will be suited up and ready for the Eagle's defensive pressure. RB Andre Brown surprised many last week, along with offensive targets Martellus Bennett and Ramses Barden. Expect another high throwing game for Eli Manning, and also expect a huge scoring game. It will be a rowdy crowd at Lincoln Financial, but I'm taking the Giants in this game 27-23.




For anyone who loves our head coach Tom Coughlin, watch NFL Films "A Football Life: Tom Coughlin" on NFL Newtork. This documentary showed Coughlin's roots through adulthood and family, along with lessons he has learned and has taught as a football coach for more than four decades.
