Wash(ML) over NYG
The giants have looked great some games and poor in others. The had the benefit of playing 3 weaker teams to start the season. Young Manning has come into his own and with targets like Plax and Shockey he can stretch the field. Then there is Tiki, who will receive more touches because Coughlin feels it will take the pressure of Manning. However, the redskins defense is relatively healthy and Williams has his contingent that he wanted to start the season. Springs and Harris at the corners with Rogers in the dime. Taylor and Bowen can run stop and cover and Pirloue (sp) is a desent cover man as well. The LB's are tough and with Arrington being used more the defensive schemes and this should be where Eli makes mistakes. The different blitz packages will make it very difficult for the giants o-line. The redskins offense has come on of late, the max protection gives Brunell time and the ability to let routes develop. Portis got a taste of the endzone last week and hope he gets a few more trips today. Both teams will be locked in and ready for this game. The NY crowd will be a big factor and the death of player/coach loved GM will be a motivator. Still the skins have looked good in Arrowhead, solid in Denver, beat Dallas in Big D and should be ready for this game. IMO the defense makes a big impact for the skins. Washington has to take the crowd out of this game early but they should win the game. Washington would have won about 9 more games last year if they averaged 15 points per game and not the 11 they did. That defense and the new offense should get it done in the swap.
