Prediction
New York Giants OVER 8 (-129) Season Wins
Call me crazy, but I think we see a totally different New York Giant team this season. They will have a healthy and talented wide receiving core for Eli Manning to target and a much better option at running back which will help deceive their opponents. The defensive side is where my concern lies with this team. I’m interested to see how well they perform against the run, after being one of the worst run-stop defenses last season. Will the run defense get better? Will the pass defense get worse? These are the questions I have that will be answered this season. The main point I want to make is no matter how bad the defense is, I think the offense will be able to score points. At +375 to win the NFC East, I actually like the Giants. With Philly cleaning house and Washington most likely not being a contender, this division will most likely be decided between the Giants and Cowboys, a rivalry that has had an average winning margin of 5.25 points in their last 4 meetings.
