This season it’s put up or shut up time for QB Eli Manning.  He won’t have Tiki Barber around to bail him out this season.  RB Brandon Jacobs must have a good season or teams are going to tee off on Manning and force him into making huge mistakes.  Also, the defense is going to be nothing to write home about.  Fans will be calling for Tom Coughlin’s head in the middle of this season so do yourself a favor and take the under.

The over/under for Giants wins is 9.  The Giants are currently 16-1 to win the Super Bowl and 9-1 to win the NFC.

Save your cash, I project 9 victories for the Giants in the rugged NFC East.

The Giants have beat up on the Saints as of late at home.  This could be a game the Giants really need late in the season and it should be cold.  The Giants are 3-0-1 against the spread the last four times these teams have met in the Meadowlands.  I think the Giants defense will rise to the challenge and shut the Saints down, as Reggie Bush is thinking “Man, it never got this cold at USC”.

Pay off the Christmas season and take the Giants.
