I think I'm gonna avoid betting on this game, because the Giants are inconsistent and you never know how Eli is going to play. If he plays good I say they win but if he has a bad performance like he has many times this season, I don't know if the rest of the team will be able to carry him to a win, given that the Bucs are a decent team as well.

I'm liking that it seems teh Giants are playing together with a relentless running attack. When the run game is solid, the Giants do magnificent things.
Still scared about our weak secondary, but they played one helluva game last week considering it was the Pats.
I like the spread and think my G-Men take it 38-20.
Plus the Bucs offense is suspect. They can't get into a shootout with the Giants.

Couldn't have said it better. The Giants look real good and they have looked really bad. Their fortunes seem to rely on the back of Manning. My gut tells me to take the points and go with TB. TB, however, has lost 3 of their last 4. I like Garcia and I think the team rallies around him. Look to be disappointed Giant fan.
My pick
Take the points and bet TB. The over doesn't seem to be a bad bet here.
On a side note, this was the last prediction I made for this week. Seems like I like the 'dogs in almost every game.

I really hate the Giants, as any self respecting Jets fan would However I am going to have to bet on them. In another thread I noted how inconsistent the Giants are and how they won't get far in the playoffs, and I stand by that. However, this is a game I can see the Giants pounding TB's rush defense. We know Manning will have a hard day passing against the best secondary in the league...but that's probably a good thing (that the Giants won't pass much) for the G-men because of how inconsistent Manning is. The Giants have a lot of momentum with them, while TB has none. TB is well rested, but that can be a liability when starting a game flat. I look for the Giants great rush attack to wear down TB's rush defense. If TB puts 8 men in the box, look for Manning to make a couple of good throws...in the end, it depends on what Giants team is showing up...the Giants team who played the Patriots or the Giants team that can only perform well against teams with losing records? Momentum is a big thing with the playoffs...the Giants have it so I'll pick them (even though it hurts to say it).

I simply think Eli is gonna pick up where he left off last week. I see another 3 or 4 TD game for him even against the best pass D in the NFL who also happens to play in the worst division in the NFL, so to me, that stat doesent mean much.

Thank you Eli for proving to everyone what some (including me) who never doubted you even in the dark times knew.
You have high caliber QBing skills if given the right package to play.
Today was an absolute perfect package called. And you executed it perfectly.
We'll see how Romo and his thumb hold up vs the best pass rushing team in the NFL, the NY Football Giants!
And memo to the Barber brothers.
It is now time for you two to STFU.
To Tiki: When you talk about how there was no cohesion with the Giants team members. Its now obvious it was YOU that was not the team player and causing the rifts.
To Rhonde: Be your own person and stop folllowing the shadow of your brother. Remember, YOU are the one that has the Superbowl ring.
Rhonde and Tiki Barber called Eli and Burress out this week. Even to the point of dis-respect. How did Eli Respond?
ZERO Interceptions. And he threw most to????
Well Dressed Amani Toomer!
Keep the roll going G-Men. You have the capability to beat the Cowboys!

Great Job Giants! We know get the matchup I wanted, a rematch with the Cowboys, if we get pressure on Romo he becomes an average QB. I'm looking for the spread to be high on that game next week, more easy points for me!
