Week Four Vs. New York Giants
A lot of people are high on the potential for the New York Giants in 2015. I’m not one of those people.
Bad teams often get a lot of hype because of a superstar on their team. That superstar I’m talking about is Odell Beckham Jr. Is he a great player? Absolutely. No doubt. 110%. But he’s not the team. And he’s not blocking for Eli Manning.
Stephon Gilmore will probably (remember, that word is ok for assumption according to Ted Wells) have the duty of covering Beckham Jr. It could be the most polarizing match-ups the former South Carolina Gamecock has all season.
The better match-up for Buffalo though? Shady McCoy against the Giants defense. In 2014 McCoy ran for 248 yards, averaging 6.8 and 5.8 yards per carry in two games against head coach Tom Coughlin and his defense. He, along with the Buffalo front seven, will be the reason why Buffalo heads into the second quarter of the season with a .500 record.
Prediction: New York Giants 24, Buffalo Bills 34
