NYG has a better D...at least D line. Their receivers are better and their RBs are better. Our advantage is at TE and QB (not significant based on the aforementioned D lines). Not sure what any of this means other than the fact that players will need to make plays. TB cannot miss wide open targets or throw balls up for grabs in triple coverage. We cannot fumble on special teams and we need to run the ball effectively.
It may come down to last possession wins. I hope we can get them but I am uneasy. Very uneasy.
That's the debatable. What's not is The Patriots have a better OVERALL defense.
And yes TB CAN throw balls up for grabs in triple coverage because he's smart enough to know when it's ok to do it. Obviously. Eli can't though. Eli has to play perfect. Brady doesn't.
If both teams play perfect, Patriots will beat them soundly.
If both teams play averages, Patriots will beat them soundly.
If Patriots play average and Giants play average, Patriots win a close game.
If Patriots play like crap, they lose. And it would probably still be a close game.
This Giants lost games by:
13 points on Dec 18th to one of the most inefficient teams in football, Washington.
25 points to the Saints.
7 to Philadelphia, another terrible inefficient offense.
7 to the 49ers the first time around when they were -1 in takeaways, yet could only beat them by 3 despite a +2 turnover margin(Where the hell is the improvement? There is none.)
11 points to Seattle
14 points to Washington.
The Giants are good. The Patriots are great.
The worst loss of the season for the Patriots was by 8 points and the other two were by 4 points or less.
It's all about the turnovers. If the Giants lose this battle, it will not come down to the last possession. It will end in the third quarter.
