Giants Patriots Preview And Turkey Day Picks Live
Send us a textGiants fans, Week 13 gives us a 2-10 team staring straight at a 10-2 Patriots buzzsaw on Monday Night Football, and we’re doing this together live.

On paper they look like a machine, but their strength of schedule is only .354 and a lot of that record comes from teams like the Raiders, Dolphins, Saints, Titans, Browns, Falcons, Bengals, and Jets. They are 2-1 against teams currently over .500 with wins over the Bills and Bucs and a loss to the Steelers. We walk through what they actually do well on offense and defense and where the cracks are that a desperate team can hit.Then we move into Giants Keys to Victory. Step 1 is mental: you cannot play scared of a 10-2 record when you’ve already gone toe to toe with the Lions, Packers, and Bears; Oh, My!. Step 2 is hoping Dart is back and healthy, because he’s the spark plug who can extend plays and give Wan’Dale, Hodgins, and Theo chances to keep their recent surge going. Step 3 is all about new defensive coordinator Charlie Bullen. This D has to look energized and aggressive instead of folding in the 4th quarter. The Giants have blown too many double digit leads this year, and a young QB like Maye will make mistakes if the pass rush actually gets home instead of letting him live in clean pockets all night.From there we zoom out for a full Thanksgiving and Black Friday preview. In the early game, Packers at Lions is strength versus strength: a Lions offense around 29.6 points per game against a Packs defense allowing only 18.4 and just 3.9 yards per carry on the ground, which matters with a banged up Detroit offensive line and Gibbs trying to hit big runs. The late afternoon matchup is Chiefs at Cowboys, with a Dallas offense that can lead the league in yardage facing a Chiefs defense giving up about 18.3 points per game and thriving on third and 4th down. Bengals at Ravens at night is all about the run game, with Baltimore’s 4.9 yards per carry rushing attack staring at a Bengals defense that gives up 33.3 points, 426 yards, and 156 rushing yards per game. On Black Friday, Bears at Eagles gives us a high scoring Bears profile averaging 52.8 total points per game against an Eagles team that allows 20.5 points per game and turns red zone trips into TDs roughly three out of four times. Bears has won four straight by one score, so we argue whether this is another tight finish or the week the streak dies.Through all of it we keep circling back to the Giants: what Bullen can steal from these defenses, how Dart and the offense can borrow concepts from the best attacks, and whether this game tells us the roster is closer to competing or still miles away. If you need therapy, hope, and a little holiday chaos all in one place, you’re in the right show.Thank you for watching & for your support.
