Skins vs. Giants predictions

Brandon Jacobs is also questionable but don't forget Derrick Ward carved us last year

The giants come out and score 14 in the first half to quite the crowd, Portis gives an emotional half-time pep talk to fire the boys up and we score 21 points (in honor of ST) to win the game in a traditional NFC East battle.

REDSKINS - 21
giants - 20

HTTR and #21!

Giantone enjoy your turkey because your long weekend is going to end on a very sour note. Its not that the loss is going to hurt that bad but having Eli carted off and Buress injuring himself even more is goin to put a damper on your season.Firstdown, the game hasn't even happened yet, and you are already 1/3 right in your prediction. Good work!

I'm thinking in this game, Fletcher's absence wouldn't hurt us all that much since the Giants are a power running team that would abuse an injured, undersized Fletch.

Blades' play recognition and aggressiveness are going to be key in this one.

I didn't even think of that. So lets hope I am 100% right.

I wish I could be more optimistic:

Giants 28

Have to agree with Matty on this one. WE still can't score, and the defense let the Sea sparrows make it a game. The Gmen are a complete team, strong in all facets of the game, while we are only firing on half our cylinders. The Burress shooting will only keep the score from getting out of hand.

Giants 31
Skins 13

As I posted before,with the news of Plax,I now must change my prediction.Add in the Sean Taylor tribute it will be just too much for the Giants to consintrate on ....

The Giants are have essentially the same personnel as last year, however they are not nearly the same team. Their offensive line seems to get better every game, they are still rushing the passer with ferocity despite no Strahan OR Umenyiora, their running game is better, Eli is more efficient, and they are two games ahead of where they were at this point in 2007. They didn't really gel as a team until the final 4 regular season games/playoffs last year.

This year, aside from the Cleveland speed bump, they are a machine. And they've scored 30+ in 4 straight games, and only less than 21 twice all year.

Yeah, we're better than we were last year, but we're still just as injury plagued.

This is such an important game. I hope we can overcome the odds. Hey, at least it's not a night game!

We are a better team than last year, but the injuries and to some extent the new system is hampering us greatly. The Gmen seem to be possessed and on a mission to prove that last season was no fluke and that they are indeed the best around. I agree, and that is why the odds are indeed long on the Skins eeking out a win. Also forget the emotions running high thing. Emotion can play a good part in a football game, but can't overcome a team that is solidly superior, and that is what we have here. Also we are road warriors this season. Playing at Fedex isn't like playing at RFK. The crowd might be big, but not really that intimidating.
