– Big Game for Eli
It has been another good season for Eli Manning in 2015, as he continues to look good in Ben McAdoo’s offense. This season, Manning has totaled 3,201 passing yards, 23 passing touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Limiting the turnovers is key for Manning, and for the most part, he has done very well protecting the football this season.
The Jets’ defense hasn’t been all that impressive lately, but they do have an opportunity to get some pressure on Manning. The Giants’ offensive line has been decimated by in recent weeks, which hasn’t helped Manning or the Giants’ rushing attack.
Manning can expect a lot of blitzes’s from the Jets, so making quick passes will be key for Manning and the Giants’ offense. If Manning gets any kind of protection, he should be able to pick apart the Jets’ secondary with his weapons.
Prediction: 330 passing yards and three passing touchdowns.
