Giants Win 5th Straight, but It's Not Where You Start...

... it's where you finish. The old cliche and it works. Since 2004, the Giants are just 8-16 in the second half of the season. I'm a Giants fan, and I'm really glad they're winning against NFL powerhouses like the Falcons, 49ers, and Jets. But their next four games (after they demolish the Dolphins in London next week), will be the true test for the Giants. They have the Cowboys, Lions, Vikings, and Bears - none of which are pushovers. I'm still not convinced with the Giants offense. Their defense has anchored much of their scoring opportunities during this win streak, but what happens when they face a solid offensive line like the Vikings or Cowboys? Can the Giants put the same pressure on QB's against stronger lines? We shall find out. Either way, the next month will let us all know if the Giants are for real.
