Watching them last night Colston and Shockey are nowhere near match fit.
Still we should see more points than last year!!

We have Mike Karney to look forward to - he's Irish!!

Yesterday's game was their first for a few weeks. They should be a bit better next weekend. I think this could be a good offensive game. A direct contrast with 13-10 last year. Added spice in that whoever loses the game will be 3-5, and in a big hole. 4-4 will still feel good.

I've never rated Jeremy Shockey highly, he is very prone to losing the ball. Giants are doing much better with Kevin Boss,

How about them Tampa Bay Rays??

From worst team in the league last season to playing in the World Series this year

And all since they dropped the 'Devil' from their name. Allelujah brother!

that's a real pity

Watched my first baseball game last night and quite enjoyed it, even if its a terrible sport.

Dissapointed the red sox lost.

could never get into the baseball - find it very boring

love the NFL though and watch it all weekend - makes monday nights a bit easier too

very intrigued by the NFC east this year - none of the supposed "in form" teams are doing anything worth talking about

I'm a Giants fan now by association - my wife is from Long Island originally.
I like to think they won last year because I was "rooting" for them (that never sounds right does it?)
I can't see the giants winning again this year - they win but they don't look good in doing so. They aren't the team they were last year and I see a shock winner of the Superbowl this year

heganboy · October 21, 2008, 03:39:38 PM

I think the giants would qualify as a shock win

Rossie11 · October 21, 2008, 03:43:11 PM

Giants are currently favs
6/1

Pittsburgh 13/2
Titans 8/1
Chargers 10/1 (crazy should be at 20s)
Skins 11/1
Dallas Colts Eagles 14/1

49ers have fired Mike Nolan, I really thought they were going to turn it around with JT O'Sullivan but it hasn't happened.
