Odell Beckham is very impressed with Bill Belichick’s film-watching volume

“That’€™s how much they adjust”, he said.

The pair of first-place teams have completely different reputations, as the Pats are on a quest to repeat as Super Bowl champions while the Giants are trying to maintain their slight edge in the putrid NFC East.

The Giants’ success against the Patriots actually can be traced to the last time they lost to New England in the regular season finale in 2007 at the Meadowlands.

Unsurprisingly, Tom Brady was Benoit’s selection for the quarterback position.

Belichick and Coughlin are the NFL’s two-winningest active coaches, and among the top 11 all-time.

Casillas also gave a few insight into how the Patriots run their team, especially during the season. They have won five straight in this series.

The NY coach with a more impressive record against Belichick is the Giants’ Tom Coughlin, whose team plays host to the Patriots on Sunday. In regards to the Welker drop, if that happened to the Giants and the Patriots had won, again, we would have to hear about how the Patriots find ways to win and how they take advantage of their opponent’s miscues.

The Giants have dominated the Patriots in recent years.

New England (8-0) is among three unbeaten teams.

Brady is completing 68.6 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,709 yards and 22 touchdowns compared to just two interceptions.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. No one on the NY Giants’ roster knows the New England Patriots better than running back Shane Vereen. As does Coughlin, who worked with Belichick on Bill Parcells’ staff in 1988-90. The Pats have a 5-4 edge in the regular season series, but have dropped both postseason matchups (we won’t get into that).

“We’ve always had very, very close games against them even when we’ve won”, Brady says. “There’s just a lot of history with the team”. The other excuse for the Patriots not winning is that Rob Gronkowski was not healthy.

“I think it’s the techniques that they use”, he said.

“Their ability defensively to create turnovers and get the ball out and score is obviously very impressive, by far and away the best in the league at that”, Belichick said of New York’s four defensive touchdowns. They are 168-12 when scoring 23 or more points under Belichick, which includes going 14-0 a year ago, including the playoffs.

-Patriots LT vs. Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul. Once again, there are a few who said that the Giants were lucky because of two plays: the Mario Manningham catch and the Wes Welker non-catch.

The Patriots lost running back Dion Lewis for the season to a knee injury in last Sunday’s 27-10 home win over Washington. “We have pass rushers, but we have to work together and that’s what we’re doing now”. This will be his most hard challenge since Antonio Brown in the opener, and Butler is coming off a game in which he allowed a season-low 15 yards in his assignment against DeSean Jackson.

– Chandler Jones leads the National Football League with 9.5 sacks, and is looking for his second career 10-plus sack season.

“Our team always matched up very well with them”, former Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer said.

Brady has been intercepted twice while NY has picked off 13 passes to tie for the league lead. “It was an incredible year”, Tom Brady has said. “If they get there in time, it’s their ball”.

“(We will) just come out and play our game and we can’t chase anything. He has 6.5 sacks over the last four games and has a chance to become the first Patriot to finish as the National Football League sack leader.

This is the first game between the teams since Eli Manning won his second Super Bowl MVP by leading the Giants to a 21-17 win over New England in the Super Bowl in February 2012.
