Carolina (-5) @ New York (12-20-15)

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on FOX....low 40s and sunny....over-under 48

 

Carolina QB Cam Newton 233 of 395, 3,062 yards, 28 Tds, 10 INTs) has also run for 480 yards on 111 carries

TE Greg Olsen (65 carries, 969 yards) and RB Jonothan Stewart (242 carries, 969 yards) are questionable with knee and foot injuries..

Carolina 'D' has 38 QB sacks and 21 pass interceptions, No. 1 in the NFL  Carolina also leads the NFL in  points with 411

 

NYG's Eli Manning (319 of 500, 3,655 yards) also has 28 TD passes and 10 interceptions....but he's too old to run like Cam

WR Odell Beckham has caught 85 passes for 1,320 yards and 12 Tds

The Giants  have allowed 418 yards and 22 first downs per game

this is the 12th..team with a sub.500 record that Carolina (13-0) has faced but the Giants (6-7) have not defeated anyone with a winning record all season.

 

I think Washington (6-7) wins a tie breaker over the Giants (6-7) on conference record so the NYGs need this game badly. Carolina's quest for 16-0 faces a major road test.

Giants have played nine games decided by 7 points or less....If I could get 6 points, I'd take the Giants.

I just don't believe Carolina will go 16-0 and Eli is having as good or better a year than Cam.

I really want the Giants to win this game but the Giants defense is just plain awful. I think Cam may have a week similar to last week and it could be a blow out. I believe if Carolina wins this game they secure HFA, have to check tie breakers with Arizona. If that is true then it will be interesting to see if they go for 16-0 with two meaningless games left.

So do you really hope the giants win,   or do you want to see the panthers run the table?  You have said both now

Weird, the Giants lost to the Patriots 35-38 in the 2007 regular season when the Patriots went 16-0 as well. 

 

Can the Giants finish with a wild card, is it even possible? I don't think so this time. It has to be division winner, I think.

 

If the Redskins lose to Philly in the Saturday game, then things become real interesting with everything if the Giants win and get to 7-8 on SNF.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
