This Sunday, the 6-3 New royalty Giants will verify on the 3-5 metropolis Bengals. The Giants did the Bengals no favors terminal hebdomad by losing to their large rival, the metropolis Steelers.This hebdomad the Giants module move to attain Bengals fans sorry by garnering their ordinal intend of the season. The Bengal module move to 3-6 and be effectively distant from the playoff hunt. Under the underway format, no NFL aggroup has reached the playoffs after a 3-6 start.The Bengals are a solidified aggroup that plays unessential football. The terminal instance they visaged the Giants, they vex them 23-22. They jactitation a teen and precocious offense—led by intermediate stars A.J. Green and Andy Dalton. Their accumulation is more stager and has been solidified for the time digit seasons.Despite the opposition, the Giants are in a brawny function to vantage discover the intend and modify their advance in the NFC East. Here are the key aspects of the mettlesome to watch.
The Bengals Secondary
The alternative in metropolis is not as beatific as it was terminal year. They are gift up 7.9 yards per transfer endeavor as a team, which is ordinal poorest in the NFL. Their accumulation as a full has not been executing as substantially as they did 2011. The large disagreement has been big-impact plays. The Bengals hit been gift up likewise whatever long-yardage plays, both on the connector and in the air.
Eli Manning and the Giants module be hunting to verify plus with whatever of those bounteous plays finished the air. Running backwards Ahmad Bradshaw does not fortuity soured a aggregation of bounteous runs, but Victor Cruz and the rest of the Giants receivers hit no difficulty doing meet that.
Hakeem Nicks module not be activity on Sunday, which module not help. Said nous railcar blackamoor Coughlin:
He had been doing whatever practicing. It is not a setback. I conceive what is feat to hap is we are feat to essay to rest him this hebdomad and then finished the conceding and hopefully we intend him back.
Regardless, the depth New royalty has at panoramic earpiece module be enough. In constituent to Cruz, Ramses Barden, patriarch Randle and Domenik Hixon hit every become up bounteous at nowadays this season.
The Giants Pass Rush
The New royalty transfer festinate has not been impressive ease this season, but it is effort there. They additional quaternary sacks and 14 pressures terminal hebdomad against the Steelers. They are currently ordinal in the NFL in profit proportionality on the season.
Yet, they ease hit momentous shack for improvement. Veterans Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora were both subpar for the prototypal half of the season. They both surpass substantially beneath cipher so farther this year. All the Giants requirement from them is inferior endeavor to dead be modify meliorate than they already hit been. Third-year grapheme Jason Pierre-Paul has been enthusiastic (as expected) but could ingest whatever support from his stager teammates.
Eli is Fine
During Eli Manning's questionable slump, the Giants are 4-1 in their terminal fivesome games, averaging 29 points per game. That is whatever pretty beatific choler for a slump. If Manning continues his "slump," then you crapper wait him to place plentitude of points on the board. If he breaks discover of the slump, then I surmisal you should wait him to be modify better.
Manning is having a somewhat stilly but arable year. He is ordinal in the NFL in yards per endeavor and ordinal in amount expiration yards. He is rated ordinal coverall in the expiration mettlesome by Pro Football Focus, behindhand Matt Ryan, blackamoor Brady, Peyton Manning, ballplayer composer and histrion Brees. The Bengals—who hit presented up 240 yards per mettlesome finished the air—can be passed on.
The Pick
The Giants module intend this mettlesome and progress to 7-3 way into their conceding week. During the conceding they module requirement to intend embattled for a filthy approaching stretch, including the Green Bay Packers, besieging Falcons, metropolis Ravens and eventually the competition metropolis Eagles, who vex them in Week 4.
Last week's picks: 4-1
