Giants first game in the Meadowlands since they won it all a season ago. Prime time under the ESPN lights; it doesn't get much bigger for a NY based team. Regardless of the injuries, HC Coughlin will want his club to put forth a better semblance of itself than it did in Detroit.
Cleveland is certainly an up and coming team, and their first stringers could get the best of it in this one. That said; I like NY's depth better and I also like the experiece they have with their QB rotation to allow them to pull away for the win in the later stages of the game.
The second half should find veteran David Carr squaring off against Brady Quinn for a majority of it. Edge: NY regardless of how poor Carr's proven to be against 1st stringers in the past. That said; he'll be throwing at a bunch of guys hoping to make that one big play to catch their coaches attention; hopefully it won't happen.
We cashed the Bengals on the $$$-line at GB in the first Monday night game of the pre-season, and are firing right back this week but only this time we're backing the home squad to bring home the bacon...
