Giants vs. Patriots: 3 causes for concern

The team won over the Cowboys and the Buccaneers during that stretch and coming up the team plays against the Redskins and the Jets after the Patriots.

In all of their meetings, the Patriots were favored, and the Giants had an inferior record. So far, every time Brady and Eli Manning have met in the regular season, they have met in the Super Bowl. Including the postseason, they have faced Brady five times and won three of them.

The Patriots rank first in the National Football League in scoring average (34.5) and second in total yards per game (420.3).

As CBS Boston reports, the Patriots truly are down to their last offensive lineman and in order to combat that, they promoted tackle Chris Barker from the practice squad to the active roster yesterday. But again, the Giants got the better of the Patriots with a 21-17 win.

Eli Manning and the Giants have claimed the last three games against the New England Patriots – including two Super Bowl wins. “So I haven’t hit the driver as well as I probably hit the wedges, but if I can hit the driver a little better, it would make things a little bit easier on our team”. This Sunday, they are favored by 7.5 points.

As much as the Giants would like to treat this as just another game, they’re well aware of the history, as well as what’s at stake. Coughlin is 5-1 against Belichick.

“It does get your motor running, no question about it”, said Coughlin about facing the Patriots. A win would mean the world for the Giants in their hardest contest of the season.

“I’d much rather have won them than lost them”. “Great chance for us to test what we’ve got up against an undefeated team”. Chandler Jones leads the league with 9.5.

“It’s a big challenge”, Pierre-Paul said.

“Well I think he played 50-some plays last week against Tampa, so his conditioning looks fine”, Belichick said. We just don’t know if they can match the pyrotechnic Patriots. Faulk, in fact, is the team’s fifth all-time leading receiver with 431 catches and the team’s career leader in all-purpose yards with 12,349. RB LeGarrette Blount ran for season-high 129 yards last week….

Dance off: Odell Beckham Jr. and Rob Gronkowski are the Giants’ and Patriots’, respectively, biggest weapons.

Yes, for the undefeated Patriots, the Giants are uncertainly not a team to overlook.

The New England Patriots have released their inactives for today’s game. Stork was the team’s starting center previous year but since the team in thin on depth, they need Andrews out there, and that is where he plays. The number of times they allowed Mike Evans to get open, they were lucky that he had washed his hands in baby oil prior to the game. “I don’t think it really has any bearing or influence on what happens this week”. Their next opponent is the Giants.
