Giants football gameday!

You can boil the Giants game today down to this quote from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome:

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... dying time's here!"

The Giants are tied with the Redskins and Cowboys at 8-6 yet trail Washington and Dallass in tie-breakers. If Big Blue doesn't come home from their short hop down to Baltimore today, next week's winnable finale against the Sheagles might not matter. Dying time is today. The Ravens have already clinched the AFC North. They have some banged up guys that they may well be resting as they look pretty well locked into the AFC's #4 seed.

Eli can't throw one of those dunderheaded interceptions that cost the Giants field position. They have to run against the Ravens, no easy task but they need to run. They need to keep Ray Rice off the field. If ever the G-Men have needed to hang their hats on the defense today is that day. The defense must be stout. They have to tackle well, communicate well in the secondary as to make any Ravens drives not a blown coverage 3 play 80 yard drive. Details details details. If the Giants can mind them, they should have a chance.

Fearless forecast:
Giants 23
Ravens 16

As for the Jets game -- oh look, a kitty......
