New York Giants: 3 reasons why the Giants can beat the Titans
The New York Giants season is winding down as the playoff races heat up. But, this Sunday, in order for the magic to remain even a little alive, the Giants must take care of the Tennessee Titans at home. Here is how they can win.
The New York Giants are on a bit of a roll right now. They already have more wins than last year with a chance to double it.
Although unlikely, the Giants still have a chance to represent the NFC in the Playoff picture.
However, none of this is possible without the Giants running the table. They must beat the Titans, Colts, and Cowboys in order to stand a chance at the playoffs.
But, that is obviously much easier said than done. The Titans are a team who the Giants really do not have a lot of history with. The teams rarely play each other and have never met in the Super Bowl.
That is even dating back to their days as the Houston Oilers.
So, let’s get right to the point. Quite frankly, in what seems like an otherwise boring matchup is far from it.
With both teams fighting for their playoff hopes.
So, here is the first way the Giants can beat the Titans.
Home Field
This cliché has a lot more to it than you might think. In the regular season, home field advantage matters, but only to an extent.
Not every stadium is like Seattle or Kansas City where it is basically designed to be loud and ruckus.
But, when home field becomes a factor for most teams is when the weather does. This is particular for teams who play where it can be cold, windy, rainy, muggy etc.
Well, luckily for the Giants they will have the advantage of playing a December home game against a team that would otherwise play most of their games in warm weather.
The Titans head into this one coming off two straight home games. This is their first test is in climate weather in more than a few games.
The Giants, are used to the weather. Eli Manning has been at it for decades, Saquon Barkley dealt with it at Penn State.
But, also, just last week the Giants played in chilly weather in DC.
So, in what is supposed to be a gloomy, cold and rainy day at Met Life Stadium, can turn the Giants into sunshine.
We are not weatherman here at Empire Writes Back but according to my trusty iPhone weather app, the game time temp for Sunday at kickoff is 38 degrees and rain.
This just screams for ugly football in ugly weather.
That is a clear-cut advantage to the Giants. A will be a burden to the Titans.
The Titans are not strangers to poor weather, no one is, however, combine the weather with the Giants faithful in a massive Met Life Stadium, and the Giants have a great chance to take advantage of that.
