Game: NY
Giants -1 at Carolina Panthers, 9-20-12 at 8:20pm, O/U 51
Analysis: Both teams coming off wins with the
Giants needing a huge comeback to beat the Bucs and the Panthers taking care of
business against the Saints and got its running game going. Carolina's D will not as poor as Tampa's on the
back-end and Panthers Defensive coordinator McDermott if formerly of the
Eagles, and knows Manning well. The
Giants will rely heavily on passing again with Bradshaw likely out, and a
one-dimensional team is easy to prep for in a short week, while preparing for a
dual threat QB like Cam Newton is not as easy.
The Giants have not shown the ability to stop the pass or the run, so
this sets up to be a high scoring game.
The Giants do have very athletic defensive lineman that may be able to
contain Newton's scrambling better than other teams.
