- Giants have a huge win percentage over teams that are coming off a bye, with Eli as QB (not sure of exact %, but my recollection is that it's well over75%).

- Eli is 6-1 vs teams in a dome over past 2+ years with a 100 QB Rating / 69.3 completion % / 230 yards passing per game

- Saints are 0-3 coming off the bye week the past 3 years (the Payton/Brees years).

- Brees vs. Eli comparison (through 4 weeks):

Prediction: As much as this favors the Giants head to head, being that this is a road gameI think the Giants will lose a high scoring close game. Saints by 5. That's IF the Giants can't hold them to field goals instead of touchdowns, becauseif they do the Giants will win big.

Win it for Super Woman aka Reby Sky

I'll say Giants 35-30.

Thanks for posting that marvelous quote again.

Giants by 20

close game. Eli with a 4th quarter drive for the 4 point win.

This will be close. Won't be surprised to see N.O. eek out a win. Hopefully we keep rollin though

31-20 Saints

I work on Sundays and get off at 5. This, and the last 2 have been 1:00 starts.

Definitely the game of the first half of the season. Might not be coherent because i'll most certainly be hung over. Happy 26 to me! G-men, get me a W formah birthday!

We fried bigger fish before...

34-24 gmen, NO scores a few meaningless points late in game.

Time for our defense to step it up... I have a good feeling about this game for some reason

Giants by 9
LETS GO GGGGGGGGMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

....1 pm starts

us by 10

Giants secondary is beat up and this is a tough road game, otherwise I would say Giants by a lot.

Both teams will score a lot.

damn, i have work at 4. i'll just go at the half and catch the rest at work.

GMEN by 10

Vol. Eli coming home

Saints in a close one

I hope the Giants pull this one out. I don't wanna make a prediction, but I will say that this will be a great game. Scores will be in the 30s, IMO.

Gonna be a challenging game for sure. I think the Giants have enough to contain the Saints though the red zone offense is going to be problematic for us evenmore than previous games.

Giants by 10.

This one is gonna be real close.....34-31 Giants

Hit them hard G-MEN
