The Giants' best plan of attack is to slow down the Colts high-scoring attack by keeping Andrew Luck and his talented group of receivers off the field. New York has the offense to do it, and will go with a run-heavy attack and the short, quick-hit passes on their new West Coast offense. NY has had 2 weeks to prepare for this game.
The Colts were embarrassed on defense by the Steelers last week, giving up 55 points on 639 total yards.
New York's defense has played well inside MetLife Stadium, allowing just 17 and 20 points in its last two home stands – wins over Houston and Atlanta respectively. The G-Men welcome another indoor team to East Rutherford, where the temperatures will dip into the 40s. The Colts haven't had the best success in outdoor venues, putting up only 24 points in Denver, and managing 34 points – 14 of those in garbage time – at Pittsburgh last week.
I like the home underdog here tonight plus the points.
With 2 weeks to prepare for this one and NY cannot afford to drop to 3-5, I think the Giants come to play on Monday night.
