In the battle of the Big Apple, which happens every year in the preseason, it is better to side with the team with depth at skill positions, especially at QB.
Looking into the rosters, I like Eli Manning playing the entire first half, followed by 280 pound Jared Lorezen - who looked good in his last game - and Matt Hasselbeck. I am not sold on Chad Pennington being 100%, and even at 100% I am still not sold on him for the Jets. Stepping in tonight is rookie Kelly Clemens in the 3rd, followed by Pat Ramsey who has been a bust since day 1 at Washington and is relegated to battling it out with Bollinger here for 2nd team.
The running back depth for the Giants is also impressive as compared to the Jets, and I look for Tom Coughlin to make a strong stand tonight with his team, while the Jets are ironing out a new coaching staff and team chemistry.
Play: New York Giants -4.5
