NY Giants vs. New England Patriots: 5 Bold Predictions

Brady leads the league with 22 touchdown passes as he guides an offense producing an NFL-high 34.5 points per game with a league-best 31 TDs. “As soon as I have information, I’ll let you know”. Their defense is getting the job done. All the way around, they’re strong. “Another week that we have to go out and win to remain at the top of this division, and I think that’s anyone’s outlook of this week….” Is it a coincidence that none of those narratives involve success from New England? No.

Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas, a member of last year’s Super Bowl-winning Patriots team, said what makes the Patriots so hard to beat is their diversification and flexibility. They have a bye next week.

“They’re obviously really well-coached, so they’re just a tough team”, Brady says. The Giants are coming off of a game against the Tampa Bay Bucs that they really should have lost.

Sure, two weeks ago, Drew Brees dropped seven touchdowns on the Giants. A lot of times they don’t tackle them.

Justin Coleman recovered and that’s the only big play the Patriots have made thus far in the game. It’s just poor ball handling by the offensive team. And you love them because they’re always, no matter what they go through, even after what they’ve gone through this year, to see how they’ve come out and they play football, it’s something about it I admire.

“They run everything on offense so it’s like they have tendencies, but they’re not as strong as other teams”. That’s scary. Josh McDaniels’s will have to scheme up the offensive to get the ball out of Brady’s hands in two seconds or less. It’s not the same team this season. “But it’s also a lot of decision making, too”, Brady said of avoiding the turnovers that the Giants try to create, the kind that could lead to an upset yet again in the series with NY.

Lewis was second on the Patriots in rushing with 234 yards and third in receiving, with 36 catches for 388 yards. Dallas’ Jason Witten caught two fourth-quarter TDs in the season opener to beat NY. If Brady is on then Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski could each have huge games when we watch the Patriots game live streaming or on TV today. That’s something they have not done well this season. In the Bill Belichick era in New England, which began in 2000, no team has defeated the Patriots in four consecutive meetings, regular season and postseason combined. No individual back has gained more than 63 yards in a game, Rashad Jennings vs. Philadelphia on October 19. It puts pressure on Manning to hit passes. The Giants have allowed the most receptions (58), second-most targets (83) and second-most yardage (684) to tight ends in the NFL.

The current line has nine sacks in nine games.
