Stallworth was only an interested onlooker by the time the Giants beat the Patriots in another Super Bowl, 21-17, at the end of the 2011 season. There is no such thing as an easy game against the Giants for the Patriots, and there is no reason to believe that this game will be any exception.

And yet, they are still atop their division which might be an indication that their division just is not very competitive right now. The Giants have established themselves as Patriots killers, as they have not lost to them since the 2007 regular-season finale. You’ve seen them line up two guys over one guy as if you’re about to run down on a punt. “We talked about it before the game, it was, you know, play hard for 60 minutes and it took every last second.so proud of our team and the way we fought but, you know, we can do a few things better than we did today, certainly I can and I’m glad we’re 9-0”. But on the ensuing possession, Odell Beckham did what he does best-make plays to remember.
Currently, the Patriots are favored by around a touchdown, maybe a bit more, but it won’t matter. Heading into this week there’s been a lot of hype that the Giants are going to keep it close and may even upset the Patriots. Well, we aren’t on board with that, as Tom Brady and company will likely put on a show once again. Patriots coach Bill Belichick still spoke highly of him. Lewis, one of the team’s most productive players this season, tore the ACL in his left knee while running after he caught a screen pass from Brady in Sunday’s 27-10 victory over Washington. He comes into the game leading the league in touchdown passes (22), interceptions (2) and quarterback rating (113.5).
“Most definitely, I’ve got to stay ready”. You can’t let Eli sit back and throw all over you.
Here are the Patriots’ players who stood out in the nail-biter. So you can have your beer on Sunday, I’ll be guzzling my haterade, hopeful that a franchise whose myriad achievements have been brought low by cheating and smarm can get its typical comeuppance from the Giants. A local boy done good, Manning suffered through a 11-5 record against Brady’s Patriots since 2001. Other than the 87-yard touchdown, Beckham hasn’t had a catch. Expect LaFell to tack on to those numbers this Sunday. New York, meanwhile, is 5-4 straight up and 5-3-1 against the spread following a win and a cover last weekend in Tampa.
“As far as the numbers go?” It remains the first, and only, 16-game undefeated campaign in the 95-year history of the NFL.
