NY Giants 27 @ New Orleans Saints 48: Prediction Results

This weeks prediction results can be found after the break. We had three members get all of their prognostications correct. Check them all out, including a few silly predictions from Giants fans, then vote on who you think deserves this weeks title as most accurate.

Nobody had the score prediction correct, probably because most expected a closer game, but 10up and ArithMattic were closest with their guesses of Saints 42 - Giants 27.

1. Drew breaks his "streak" and passes for 200+ yards and 1+ TD. (Is that as weird for you to hear as me to type?)

2. Eli has a "decent" game or better (200+ yards and 1+ TD) but also commits 1+ turnovers (fumble or INT counts).

3. Shockey does one of two things, or perhaps both: A) catches 1+ TDs and delivers a hard hit to an attempted tackler at least once in the game, B) gets absolutely lit up by a G-Man defensive player that at least appears to be trying to knock him out of the game, drawing in the process a personal foul penalty or at least many/all of us screaming at the refs for not throwing the flag.

    wsgiantsfan Iguess when your football team has been so bad for so long, you would’nt know a good team if it bit you in the rearend………..GIANTS 28 SAINTS 10 I wasn't even going to include this, but since it was so smug I figured why not rub his face in it a little. That's a big, fat NO.
    RunGmenRun

    1) The Saints are a very good team, once of the best in the NFC, and they are capable of winning this game though I do not think that they will.

    2) Many teams like the Saints or Vikings become the "flavor of the month" like the Panthers were in the last few weeks of last season – until the Giants beat them down. The Giants have the same core that beat the Pats and was last years #1 NFC Seed and have improved their personnel from that.

    3) After this game, many will realize what I am seeing – that this Giants team continues to evolve and has the chance to be THE best I have seen in my lifetime of 40+ years. They are experienced, balanced and deep. Old Giants football was to squeak by teams like the Raiders and Bucs, but this team put their foot on their throat and crushed them. Thats what elite teams do.

    1. Since we goin off of the teams we played lets talk about the teams they played. dont need 2 say much about the lions or the bills. lets talk about a philly team who played with a back up QB and he put up nearly 400 yrds passing( he was only 9 away from 400) against ur defense. it was his 1st start ever. lets not get too happy off of those 3 picks ladies and gents. the Qbs they faced was Trent Edwards, Kevin Kolb, Matt Stafford And Mark "Franchise". Neither team has played any great Qbs but at least we played a Qb that was mention as one of the best n tha league at one point ( tony Homo).

    2. The LIONS scored more points on ya defense then the Raiders, cheifs and bucs scored on us put 2gether (0,16, 7). And the only player in ya defensive back field that is really makin plays is sharper.

    3. im done

    Feel free to include Eli Manning in your future assessments.

    We didn't even need our defense because the Giants was so bad.

    Thank God.
