3. Manning stays hot

The past two games have been wins for the Giants, and not coincidentally, quarterback Eli Manning has also played very well during that span. Against the San Francisco 49ers, he was 19-of-31 for 188 yards.

While that’s not anything to brag about, he was good for three touchdowns and no interceptions. He continued his hot streak the next week as well.

Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he was an impressive 17-of-18 for 231 yards with two touchdowns, and again no interceptions. That’s been the key for Manning and the offense over the past two weeks — protecting the ball.

While he struggled in Week 6 against the Giants, Manning looks like he’s clicking now and it’s predicted he will stay hot against a divisional rival here. Expect him to lean on the ground game — and get the ball to Barkley through the air as well — which could give him a stat line closer to what we saw last week. While he may not have just one incompletion, expect Manning to throw it less than 30 times, but to be efficient in his passes.

Still, Manning and the Giants know that if limiting his passes leads to a win, that’s completely fine. They just want to find ways to get the win.
