 The Giants (5-0) beat Oakland 44-7 at home in Week 5 and sit atop the NFC East. QB Eli Manning made 8 of 10 passes for 173 yards with two TD passes in the first half; overall he’s thrown for 1,212 yards with 10 TD passes and two interceptions. Backup QB David Carr stepped in and threw for 90 yards after making nine of 14 passes. Their top RB Ahmad Bradshaw had 11 carries for 110 yards with two TD’s, while QB David Carr ran in a TD. Their top WR Steve Smith made three catches for 70 yards, while WR Hakeem Hicks and WR Mario Manningham each added a TD. In the past two weeks, the Giants did not need Eli Manning to finish the game against overmatched opponents Kansas City and Oakland. That won't be the case this Sunday. Manning played well against Oakland despite his painful foot injury, but he played for less than a half. QB Eli Manning will likely need to play the entire game, and play well, for the Giants to keep up with an explosive Saints offense . The Giants average 30.2ppg and give up 14.2ppg, while they average 28ppg on the road and allow 15.7ppg. They are 4-0-1 ATS and 3-1-1 over/under. QB Eli Manning is 6-1 as a starter indoors. WR Mario Manningham's three touchdown receptions this season have all been over 20 yards.
The Saints (4-0) beat the NY Jets 24-10 at home in Week 4 and sat out with a bye last week. The Saints sit atop in the NFC South. Against the Jets QB Drew Brees made 20 of 32 passes for 190 yards; overall he’s thrown for 1,031 yards with nine TD passes and two interceptions. Their top RB Pierre Thomas had 19 carries for 86 yards with a TD and he was top receiver with four catches for 46 yards. With a bye week last week, will the Saints rushing attack and defense still be in sync as in Week 3-4? The Giants have the second-ranked defense in the league and have the talent to slow down Drew Brees' downfield passing and Pierre Thomas' between-the-tackles rushing. The x-factor could be Bush. The closest player to Bush that New York has faced this year is Dallas' Felix Jones, who rushed for 96 yards and a TD on seven carries against the Giants in Week 2. Bush could have a similar impact if he gets loose. The Saints average 36ppg (leads the NFL) and give up 16.5ppg, while averaging 34.5ppg at home and allow 18.5ppg. They are 4-0 ATS and 2-2 over/under.
