The New York Giants are facing the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football in Week 7. Here are 5 bold predictions for their prime-time matchup.
It’s easy to give up on the New York Giants after a 1-5 start. They’ve looked unorganized in every facet of the game, and to make matters worse, the team owner is even coming out and telling star players like Odell Beckham, Jr. to stop talking so much.
As we enter Week 7, things look beyond bleak for the once-feared Giants. Of course, that’s what happens when teams lose.
Should they start winning games, the noise will suddenly die out. That’s just life in the NFL.
As for the Giants, they have faith they can get things cleaned up and a Week 7 game on Monday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons offers them a great chance to do just that.
Here we will look at that game and make five bold predictions for the G-Men.
5. Landon Collins forces two turnovers
While there’ve been many issues for the Giants this season, Landon Collins hasn’t been one of them. The former Alabama standout has been a force for the Giants for years and already has 49 tackles and four pass deflections this season according to NFL.com.
What he doesn’t have is any turnovers — which isn’t the norm for him. The Giants strong safety has eight career interceptions, with a career-high five in 2016. He’s also forced two fumbles in his career.
In this Week 7 bold prediction, Collins gets back to his ball-hawking ways as he forces two turnovers. Whether it’s knocking the ball free, or picking off a Matt Ryan pass, Collins will be key in helping the Giants slow down the Atlanta offense.
