This should be an interesting one--not too sure how it will turn out.

Tough game to pick but I have changed my mind to Carolina. Manning has absolutely stunk the second half of the season. The Panthers have the 4th best rushing D in the NFL this year, they are 6-2 on the road, they have more sacks than the vaunted Giants pass rush. The Giants are banged up, their secondary is weak........end of the road for the G-men.

i'm definitely pulling for the giants, but the panthers will be tough.

whoever wins this game will beat the bears next week.

even as a giant fan, i'm picking the panthers. the giants D is too banged up, and i think the panthers D will be able to contain tiki. that leaves manning to throw a lot, and the panthers are second in the league in takeaways.

The Panthers haven't impressed me all year. Just double Steve Smith cause their running game is awful. I see the Giants defensive line making plays all day and causing some turnovers. Manning goes 15 for 38 for 200 yards and the Giants win 24-10 :D

i dunno man, i think with foster healthy and the definite starter, their run game improves a bit.

Coghlin has to review that last run. He was down a yard before the 1st down. You HAVE to challenge that! Moron

if you guys remember correctly, john fox was defensive coordinator of the giants when they went to the super bowl in 2000, and they happened to play mcnabb and culpepper, who respectively were making their 22nd and 18th start (i believe), and they happened to shut them down. eli is making his 24th or 25th start, i believe. doesn't bode well.

I wouldn't say it's Eli's fault right now. The defense can't stop them on 3rd and 10, it's their fault. 20 minutes time of possession is a defensive issue. The play calling by the Giants offense has also been awful though

Nice job Giants. Nothing going for them

It's not pretty, I'll give you that. But any NFL playoff game that is still in doubt isn't boring.

The playcalling is truly horrible. Stop running on 1st down. Run on 2nd down instead. I don't careif it's 2nd and 10, give Tiki the ball on the 2nd down. And can they please throw one ball to Plaxico?

Im a KC fan, but living near Chicago Ive got to go for em in the playoffs. I think with Grossman back theyre a different and better team.
