2013 NFL PREDICTIONS!!! (TYLER)

THE FOOTBALL GIANTS!

For Day 18 of my 2013 NFL Predictions i will be breaking down the NEW YORK GIANTS!

The craziest thing about he Giants is that every year i think they are going to be down and yet they still contend for the division. Maybe it's the genius of Head Coach Tom Coughlin i don't know, just think about this with me... this team has QB Eli Manning who is an above average quarterback, but he can be a head case sometimes. RB's Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw are gone leaving David Wilson as the starting back (who was benched last year for having "fumble-itis" early in the season). Receivers Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks are still around, while TE Brandon Myers was picked up in free agency. Defensively Jason Pierre-Paul is still one of the top pass rushers in the game along side Justin Tuck while the defensive backfield boasts the services of Aaron Ross, Prince Amukamara, and Antrel Rolle. Along with the players listed, here is who the Giants drafted.

ROUND 1: Justin Pugh OT (Syracuse)

ROUND 2: Johnathan Hankins DT (Ohio State)

ROUND 3: Damontre Moore DE (Texas A&M)

ROUND 4: Ryan Nassib QB (Syracuse)

ROUND 5: Cooper Taylor S (Richmond)

ROUND 7: Eric Herman G (Ohio)

ROUND 7: Michael Cox RB (Massachusetts)

I like the work that the Giants did on the offensive and defensive lines picking up solid players to protect Eli Manning and solidify the trenches on both sides. The most interesting pickup to me was QB Ryan Nassib, many experts thought that Nassib was a possibility for the Bills in the 1st Round! The Giants were able to get him in the 4th Round, he will be a serviceable backup for Manning. Now without further ado. My predictions.

FINAL RECORD                             10 - 6

Analysis: Yes i know what your thinking, i'm crazy to think that this team will reach ten wins. Nonetheless i see a fairly favorable schedule with fairly simple road games, the hardest being against Chicago in week 6 after little rest, lucky for the Giants they play the Eagles just before that game and they should blow them out to get a little rest for the starters before the game against the Bears. I like what Tom Coughlin does with this team and how he leads them.

I predict ten wins, but what do you think?
