MANNING BOWL III

[Tasslehofp99]

Predictions/ comments anyone?


Broncos offense will be too much for giants defense, however I fully suspect eli to trade blows with big bro though.

The key to winning for the giants will be their front 7 on defense, and how much pressure they can put on peyton. If they can keep him off balance for a good portion of the game perhaps they can disrupt his rhythm enough to pull out a win.


I wasn't sure who to start this week as my fantasy qb, eli manning vs a banged up broncos defense or andrew luck against the dolphins defense. As I'm writing this I have eli in as my starter because I suspect win or lose hes gonna put up some gaudy numbers.

Anyway, can't wait to watch this game!

I watched it, however one could argue that the Dallas defense is a lot better than the Bronco's is this year. They lost about 30~ sacks from last year with dumervil gone/von miller out till week 6, not to mention Champ Bailey is out as well. I don't see a lot of pressure coming from that bronco's defense at all, nor do I see them able to cover all of the giant's offensive pieces. That is why I feel that this game will be a shoot out between Eli and peyton. Sure, That bronco's offense is nice as hell...but the Giant's offense is nice as well. If you compare the Giants/Broncos Defensive units, the giants unit is deffinetly more stout.

If the giants can pressure peyton and perhaps get some semblance of a running game going while minimizing turnovers(fumbles), this one goes to Eli. If not, then peyton wins again!

The Bronco's defense is too much, Eli will turn it over a few times which Denver will capitalize on. Giants lose big time IMO.

I agree with 95% of this. Except bailey's replacement was a beast. (don't remember his name)

Giants haven't been able to pressure QBs for at least two years now. They don't have a good defense anymore. The offense can put some points on the board but it's always in catch-up because the defense sucks.
