Super Bowl XLVI: Patriots vs. Giants

Super Bowl XLVI isn’t just a match-up between a great offense versus a great defense, but it’s a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. The New York Giants shocked the world and NFL experts as they took down the undefeated and 10.5 point favorite New England Patriots four years ago, but this time around the Giants are not being underestimated. The 3 point spread set in place by football handicappers should be more than enough to show how close the gap is this time around despite the fact that the Pats have... 

Niners host Giants in NFC Championship Game

The New York Giants are playing their best football of the season. After an opening game loss to Washington, and a 4 game losing streak midway through the season, the G-Men looked as though they’d be sitting home once again come playoff time. Since shocking the world and beating the highly favored and undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XVII, the Giants have lost 1 playoff game and failed to make the playoffs for 2 consecutive seasons. They are just 1 win away from getting back to the... 

Packers host Giants in NFC Divisonal Playoff Round

The Green Bay Packers looked almost unbeatable this season, but a loss to Kansas City in week exposed them as being mortal. Allowing 41 points to the Detroit Lions in the final game of the season gave the Packers defense the distinguished honor of being the worst in the NFL. They gave up over 410 yards per game, and were dead last in the league against the pass allowing almost 300 per game. One of the few close games that the Packers had all year was against the New York Giants on December 4th. Eli...

Giants host Falcons in NFC Wildcard Showdown

The New York Giants managed to salvage their season with consecutive wins over the Jets and Cowboys, and gained the last NFC wildcard position in the process. It certainly wasn’t a typical Giants season as they shied away from running the ball due to injuries, and lacked the killer instinct that they usually exhibit on defense. Fortunately for the G-Men, Eli Manning lived up to his own words as he reestablished himself as one of the elite quarterbacks in the league. Manning will need to keep his... 

Saints and Falcons in NFC South Battle

Monday night’s game may be a battle of NFC South rivals, but each team has an entirely different mindset in why this game is so important. The New Orleans Saints are desperately trying to keep pace with the San Francisco 49ers for the 2 seed and a first round BYE, while the Atlanta Falcons are hoping to continue their strong finish and keep them alive as the final wildcard winner in the NFC.

Colts host Texans in AFC South Showdown

The Indianapolis Colts may have broken through for their first win last week against a bad Tennessee team, but they are far from being a threat in the AFC. Thursday’s match-up with the Houston Texans will be a tough one for a Colts squad that has struggled mightily to put points on the board. They broke through with a 27 point performance against the Titans, but will have a much tougher time reaching the end zone against a team that is ranked 2nd in the NFL in total defense. NFL experts are in...

Despite being listed as 3.5 point favorites on the road against a struggling Arizona Cardinals team, the Niners faltered late in the game and lost 21-19. NFL experts... 

Oakland and Detroit in battle for Playoff Position

Despite the fact that both the Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions are in need of a strong finish to make the playoffs, it’s safe to say that both teams have exceeded the expectations of NFL experts. Detroit is in a good position heading into Sunday’s match-up. They have a 1 game lead over the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears for the final wildcard spot in the NFC. However, a tough road contest at Oakland as well as games against San Diego and Green Bay will make it extremely hard for the Lions... 

Cowboys in Must-Win game against Buccaneers

Eli Manning orchestrated a remarkable comeback that was capped off with a Brandon Jacobs 1 yard touchdown run with less than a minute to play. A blocked field goal attempt as time expired gave the Giants a huge road win that propelled them to the top of their division with the tie-break advantage. Losing in unexpected...
