Been a while..Hope you enjoy?
Dallas plays the Giants, and their gaudy 4 game win streak, Sunday. Listening to ESPN, I came away convinced Dallas will be luck to stay within 4 touchdowns of this juggernaut. Then the fear was ratcheted up when I listened to their massive defensive lineman, Jason Peter Paul-Mary. He even said there would be blood...Gulp..
But Wait ................. I looked a little closer into that 4 game win streak that had one ESPN analyst, Jaws Jaworoski, to comment, "They're Back!"
In that win streak they beat..in order:
Vikings: With Josh Freeman at QB. He was released the week before and had exactly 2 practices before the game.
Eagles: With Matt Barkley at QB. Third string with Vick and Noles being out.
Raiders: With starting QB Tyrelle Pryor, leagues 28th ranked QB with a QBR of 58.9, with 5 TD's and 10 Ints.
Green Bay: With third string QB Scott Tolzien making his first NFL start. No Discount Double Check.
Eli was on fire, so there is that to fear. Well, not really. In that 4 game stretch he had 3 TD's and 2 Ints. His QB rating for the four game stretch? 76.15 I wonder if the NY media and fans are writing about what's wrong with Eli?
The Media is convinced. Note this headline.
NY Post: Resurgent NY Giants fourth straight win against slumping Packers
No mention of a young QB starting his first NFL game, took the blame. Writer never mentions why the Packers are slumping?
Dallas Morning News was not much better: Their Headline:
How the New York Giants are in position to match Dallas Cowboys record after horrid start by Rainer Sabin
He goes on to tell us the reason for the resurgence.
My Sunday prediction?
Dallas 28 - Giants 13

Defense? Really? No mention of the Giants beating in a four game stretch, 3 - 3rd string QB's and the 28th ranked QB in the league. All about the defense?
My Sunday prediction?
Dallas 28 - Giants 13
