 Glad to have the guys back home in the USA. On to the next big challenge. This game has Lamar (the track / hurdles star ) against DJ (the natural athlete). This one is gonna be a nail biter to the end i think. Jackson just continues to make plays that seem outer worldly for his offense in Baltimore. The main targets we have to key on are obviously Jackson and his go to guy in Mark Andrews. Their defense IMO has the 2 best starting corners in the league in Peters and Humphrey. Plus there may be a slightly chippy JPP playing on their defense who goes "oh the Giants?.. ya i like going after them" .. Better keep an eye on him. We really need some more men to get healthy across the board on the team to give us some more depth. And that speaks to all positions on offense and defense. That is how banged up we are. We have found ways to keep in games but it cannot be sustained forever. I sincerely believe we can give the Ravens a good challenge here for a few reasons. 

#1 - Wink knows Lamar better than anybody. If there is a main advantage we have, its Martindale's knowledge of how and when to process what Jackson will do when he's out on the field. The fact he was Baltimore's DC for many years helps us out tremendously and i know the defense is itching to get at Lamar Jackson. 

#2 - DJ has found his mojo. This kid has found us ways to win. Between him and Saquon they are like 2 titans at this very moment for this team. Jones has to be able to find ways to get the ball to his WRs (who ever it may be this week) and continue to rely on up and coming TE Dan Bellinger.

#3- Graham Gano can win us this game. I think it will come down to a last minute field goal on either team to pull off this win and i trust Gano to give us this one. 

 

Giants 18 / Ravens 16

I can't make a decent prediction till I have an idea which injured players we are getting back, in particular, Adoree, Leonard, Azeez, Toney, Wan'dale. I would feel much better about our odds if we can get 3 of these 5 players back. 

While one cay say that no one knows Lamar better than Wink. It is a double edge sword, no one should know Wink's defense better than Lamar.

Don’t forget Justin Tucker on the other side. We do not want to give him a chance. He will not miss.

The Giants are 4-1. They have made believers out of folks who do NFL Power Rankings, moving up to No. 11 in our aggregated rankings. Las Vegas oddsmakers, though, are not yet jumping aboard the Giants’ bandwagon.

The Giants are 5-point underdogs, per SB Nation partner DraftKings Sportsbook.

Even though the Giants have victories of the two No. 1 seeds in the 2021 NFL playoffs (AFC - Tennessee Titans | NFL — Green Bay Packers) the lack of belief is understandable. The Giants won games against Tennessee and Green Bay when, on paper, their roster isn’t as good. Are they doing it with smoke and mirrors? Is what they are doing sustainable?

A victory over the Ravens would go a long way toward legitimizing what the Giants have done thus far.

This one has me a bit worried. But it's a home game and this team was not supposed to beat the Pack so they've officially moved into the anythings possible category for me. If I was a betting man I'd take the Ravens something like 20-17. If they could somehow steal this game the next 4 are all very winnable and a bye to get healthy and rearm. A very ideal situation.

This will be, by far, the best offense we have played this season. Going to be a big test for this defense. But like Shock said, there's no reason we can't win this game. 

That said, I do expect our 2nd loss here. Good news is we hit a nice easier stretch coming up afterwards. We only need to go 5-7 the rest of the way to end up with a winning record this year, which most people thought was impossible going in.

I unfortunately think this is a go-off game for Lamar Jackson. I'm not really scared of their WRs - especially if Rashod Bateman is still banged up - but I think they're going to run all over us. Their defense is middle of the road but lead the league in INTs. I think we'll see a lot of Jackson designed runs and they will look to control the clock. A turnover or two will kill us and we ultimately lose the game with the Ravens covering the spread. 

Hate throwing the negative energy out there but I just don't think this is our week.
