After a long, long winter and spring, the New York Football
Giants once again begin a new season Monday Night in Detroit. Now, I’m sure
anything I mention in this post will seem monotonous, considering how all NFL
experts and analysts have brutally roasted Eli Manning and new offensive
coordinator Ben McAdoo. We’ve heard it all right? The defense will remain at
par, and the new west-coast will struggle in the hands of Eli.
Here’s my short and simple take on this team:
8-8.
That’s it. 8-8. What else is there to say? The Giants’ are
notorious for folding at the feet of the weaker opponents and exceling against
the primetime matchups. The first few games for Big Blue are manageable, but by
Week 6 against Philadelphia, the slippery slope begins. Although the most
competitive teams visit MetLife Stadium, the odds are in the favor of the
opponents. The Giants ended with a .500 record at home last year, which stands
out as one of the major concerns for this year.
8-8 will not be enough for the Giants to make the postseason,
but it’ll be interesting to watch how Manning and the new offense will react to
a new style of play, and how a young offensive line will work to protect its quarterback
and halfbacks. As Giants’ fans, we should always expect the unexpected, and
always stay on the edge of our seat. The 2013 season is in the rearview mirror,
and now we get to turn the page and fight once again.
Here are my predictions:
Week 1- @ Detroit (Win) Week
10- @ Seattle (Loss)
Week 2- vs Arizona (Win) Week
11- vs San Fran. (Loss)
Week 3- vs Houston (Loss) Week
12- vs Dallas (Win)
Week 4- @ Wash. (Loss) Week
13- @ Jax. (Win)
Week 5- vs Atlanta (Win) Week
14- @ Tenn. (Win)
Week 6- @ Phila. (Loss) Week 15- vs Wash. (Win)
Week 7- @ Dallas (Loss) Week
16- @ St. Louis (Win)
Week 9- vs Indy. (Loss) Week
17- vs Phila. (Loss)
