The Pats played horribly on Sunday. If Tomlinson was healthy, the
Chargers might have had a solid chance.

Correction: The Giants have won 10 straight on the road. Their last
road loss was week 1 in Dallas.
The Giants almost beat NE in week 17. If not for a couple stupid
penalties, that game could have ended differently.
Burress played better Sunday than he has in at least a month. And if
you're doubling up Burress (which most teams do, because even hurt
he's apparently the biggest threat), you're leaving Toomer, Steve
Smith or Kevin Boss (they have *got* to get him more receiving
opportunities) open. Or giving Jacobs/Bradshaw some room to work with
the run or a screen pass.
Defensively, the Giants need to do 2 things: get the secondary
healthy, and pressure Brady early and often. They did the latter in
week 17, and I think Strahan, Umeyniura and Tuck can do it again and
rattle him some.
And Manning...where was this guy the first 3/4 of the season when we
needed him winning NFC East showdowns?

The line was 12 when I checked it today, with the over/under at 54. I
wouldn't put the spread any higher than 7.
I think it's gonna be a real good game. I really don't want to see a
replay of SB 35 against the Ravens.
