Giants Preview

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  For the first time since a 30-3 loss in Dallas in 1992, the Giants will be playing on Thanksgiving day.  Both teams come in at 6-4 and hungrey for a win.  The Broncos have lost four straight, have seen there once enourmous division lead evaporate.  They need to right the ship, and do it fast.  As for the Giants, they have confidence heading into Denver after beating Atlanta last week in overtime.  The team is most definatly mad they are spending their Thanksgiving on the road, and will take it out on the Broncos.  If there is a game the Giants can "afford" to lose, it would be this one, an non conference game.  However, they still need to win, and keep that confidence going heading into the game against Dallas on dec. 6.

How will the Giants prevail?  Well, they need to keep the ball out of Brandon Marshall's hand.  Corey Webster will be on Marshall all game, and he needs to shut him down like he shut down Roddy White last week.  Other than that, Kyle Orton is banged up, Knowshon Marano has not played well at all, the Broncos lack a big game player besides Marshall on offense. 

The Giants on offense need to run the ball better.  Jacobs was terrible last week, and no Bradhsaw this week means Danny Ware will be showcased for the first time.  They need to pound the ball and often and wear down the Broncos solid defensive front.  Diehl will have his hands full with Elvis Dumervill, so running to the oppiste side will be key.  It is a clam, windless day in Denver, so Eli will be able to throw the ball as well as he did last week.  Look for a big game out of easy E.

I like where the Giants are headed, I like this matchup, the Giants just regained confidence and the Broncos are reeling, I think the Giants take this game and head into a matchup with Dallas that will possibly decide the NFC East.
