It’s amazing how perspective can be sometimes.
The San Diego Union-Tribune dutifully notes that the New York Giants (5-3) have four wins against the “dregs” of the NFL (Washington, Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Oakland.)
What it doesn’t note is that the San Diego Chargers (4-3) have recorded three of their four wins against the dregs of Oakland and Kansas City.
This Sunday, the Chargers and Giants step away from the dregs when they meet each other in the Meadowlands.
San Diego QB Philip Rivers should have a field day vs. the porous Giants secondary.
On the other hand, look for Brandon Jacobs to record his first 100-yard rushing game of the season vs. the weak Chargers’ defense.
Over the past four years, Rivers has been a better QB statistically than Eli Manning of the Giants. But Manning has a Super Bowl ring … and a better team surrounding him … to show for it.
That should make the difference Sunday.
Prediction:
Giants 27, Chargers 23
