BFritz's keys to the game:


Giants need to establish Brandon Jacobs and Bradshaw: try to make the Patriots backers' age catch up with them. I'm not sure why I believe that, but I think the Giants can establish the run and have it be an impact part of the game. New England allows more rush yards per game than the Giants and gains less yards on offense.

Eli must remain calm, which he has so far, and he must at least hold his composure and not fold under the pressure.

Giants haven't been great at protecting Manning, which will be crucial because the Pats bring a lot of pressure, second most sacks in the league, and Eli has been sacked a lot. Pats have been average at protecting Brady, and the Giants had the most sacks in the league, so protecting the quarterback will be big.

Moss has only had one catch a game in the past two games, which they must continue to keep him contained. Containing Moss on the deep ball is one thing, but they also must watch out for Welker and Stallworth, but you're better off having those two beat you in chunks then letting Moss kill you with a deep catch.

I'm sure there's more, but I can't think at the moment because I'm way too tired. Let me know your thoughts and add your own.
