Last year they had the worst defense in the division. Part of that was the fatigue generated from Chip's offense and part was due to injuries. They've made some nice FA pickups to supplement a strong DL.

NFC East is going to be a crapshoot. Any of the 4 could come out on top. 10-6 or even 9 and 7 is going to take the division once they start knocking each other off.

If Prescott wins the next two and Dallas goes into the bye at 5-1, who do you start in week 8 against the Eagles?

Personally I hold Romo out as long as possible. I love Dak but he isn't going to win us a playoff game this year. We ride his hot hand as long as we can then let Romo come in fresh and tear it up.

Ya I think that was mostly it. Football Outsiders which is vastly superior to Yards imo had them first. Not that that's saying a lot vs the other 3.

I would take a split in the next two.

anyone give the Giants a shot tonight??

im still pissed about last week...

Vikings have the 2nd best D in the NFL behind the Broncos. Eli will throw 2-3 INTs.

Unless Bradford is awful the Giants will not win this game.

A chance yes, not going to win unless Bradford implodes.

 

[KaiserUEO]

on Bradford, 3 of the Giants top 6 DBs...are not dressing tonight.

and a 4th, DRC...may not as well.

Schedule is brutal the next 8 or 9 games. The only game in there not a killer is Cleveland. Otherwise we got a murders row coming up.

I wouldnt't say its brutal, the next two games are tough. I'm still not completely sold on Philly, and I know the Ravens are 3-1, but we get them at home, its a game we should win

Maybe not, but there's a good chance they could be 4-0 after this week. They get Detroit. We've seen time and time again the schedule matters in the NFL, especially the NFC east. Good chance the cowboys are 2.5 back by the time they get to Philly.

Not saying they aren't tough, but we should be able to win our home games, and the Browns game.

They've been really impressive so far; should've beaten GB by more than they did. But their whole has exceeded their sum. It's far from inconceivable that somebody with Bradford's track record could play poorly behind a bad OL and no running game.

Given our home record the last 2 seasons that is a big bet, lol. I like our shot on the road better.

Last year you almost have to throw out with Tony going down in week two, and having trash at the qb position the rest of the year. Granted we don't have a great homefield advantage, we should be able to beat some of these teams at home. The Bengals, Eagles, and Ravens are far from unbeatable, and we already beat the skins on the road, we can beat them at home.

 

[BuffOrange]

I like Dallas way more on the road, ATS at least. +6 @Cincy I'd take them, PK at home I'll take Cincy. That's true of the whole division actually. Not so with lots of other teams.

Bradford sucking is entirely possible that is why I give the Giants a chance. I just think that the Vikings D will do well against Eli. Minnesota D is elite.

for whatever reason, the Vikings are Eli's Kryptonite.

Giants should lose by 17 tonight.

Giants win by 10.

 

[MSOrange]

I see things are normal in the Big D, and by normal, I mean completely insane . Apparently only God knows if Dez has missed any meetings. Seems like there would be others who would have a clue, but I guess not.

Jerry Jones reveals the one being who knows if Dez skips team meetings

 

[bpo57]

When did Linval Joseph become Mean Joe Greene?

 

[Toga]

Eli acting a little pissy? His RB didn't know the play so Eli throws it in disgust at his feet. Then at end of the half he has a free play on an offsides and fires the ball into ground. Left a TO on the board which he really should have used right before half.

And Beckham is acting like a jerk again, no surprise there.

This game is painfully boring, and man Jon Gruden is the biggest meathead going.
