While the Giants certainly have the power players to win this game, it is going to be a tough one. Redskins are on a roll, playing very physical ball, and the crowd is going to be wild. I think the Giants chances are 50/50 - not exactly what you want when so much is on the line. This isn't just about winning the Division, but how far the Giants could go in the playoffs. This isn't just about home field advantage or a bye week either - it is about confidence and expectations - Giants win and their confidence and expectations grow - and in the NFL you often are what you think you are. Indeed, that is exactly what makes the Redskins so formidable today.
Prediction... Giants 23, Skins 20
Postscript... last week I predicted Tiki wouldn't get much yardage with both starting tackles out and 4 of 5 offensive lineman not starting where they normally do. Shows how much I know. Tiki goes on to set a Giants all time record with 220 yards rushing. Let's hope he finds room again today - but I doubt it - Redskins know they must stop Tiki and force the game into Manning's arms.
