The point spread is also only a FG opposed to the 12-point line the Pats were favored by in Arizona.

When the Giants have the ball, expect them to attack with the pass to set up the run. The Patriots pass D is poor and often times they ask WR Julian Edelman to play in the slot. That’s a tall order considering he’ll be lining up against Victor Cruz much of the evening.

The Giants other receivers (Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham) also have a decided advantage over the DBs that will be covering them.

The key for the Patriots will be how well they disguise their coverages and how effective DT Vince Wilfork and the front four pressure Eli. If they can, it will limit some of the Giants effectiveness, especially down the field, but the Giants offensive line has actually pass blocked well over the 2nd half of the season, the NFC Championship game excluded. But that was against an excellent Niners D on a sloppy field; not the 31st ranked Pats D in a dome.

An X factor in this game will be RB Ahmad Bradshaw.  He missed the Week 9 contest and will be difficult for the Pats to contain as a runner and receiver out of the backfield.

When the Patriots have the ball, look for New England to throw a wrinkle at the Giants and come out running the ball out of the spread offense. They don’t want to become too one dimensional because that plays right into the Giants main strength, which is getting after the QB.

So, they’ll likely employ a quick passing game to go with the run and pick their spots when to open it up.

But a lot will depend on Brady’s ability to keep the Giants D off balance. If he is unable to do this, it could be a long evening for him.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis could be an effective runner as well as the Giants mostly use the Nickel D vs high powered passing offenses.

The X Factors will be their TEs, and namely, Rob Gronkowski. He’s coming off a bad ankle injury and it’s unlikely that he’ll be more than 60-70% healthy. If he becomes a non-factor, it will allow New York to play one man on him rather than two, and they’ll then shift their attention to Aaron Hernandez, the other talented TE.

When it’s all said and done, look for the Giants to win their 2nd Super Bowl in five years.

Both coaches are excellent at game planning and preparing their teams, but the Giants have the better and deeper team.

The Patriots lack of a deep threat coupled with the Giants ferocious pass rush also means that New England will be forced to rely on long drives to put points on the board, which will not be so easy to do. Whereas the Giants offense is a threat to strike at any time.

New York Giants 31 – New England Patriots 21

1. Jason Witten - He’s back as the top ranked fantasy TE once again this week. Excellent Week 15.

2. Tony Gonzalez - You can expect Gonzalez to be a huge part of the game plan this Monday.

3. Brent Celek - As the season has progressed, Celek has become more of a focus for Vick.

Next In Line

Mercedes Lewis – Expect him to be in Garrard’s sights all afternoon.

Chris Cooley - He’s Rex Grossman’s safety valve this Sunday.

Kellen Winslow - Josh Freeman will find Winslow for one TD on Sunday.

Dustin Keller - Cold weather could have Sanchez looking Keller’s way more than normal on Sunday.

Fantasy Sleeper of the Week

Heath Miller - He’s back from a bad concussion this Thursday.  He’s a nice fantasy sleeper in the Championship Round.

1. * Antonio Gates - If he’s back, he’s the top ranked fantasy football TE in Week 12. The Colts won’t be able to stop him.

2. Jacob Tamme – Peyton Manning will target him all evening against the Chargers suspect Safties.

3. Jason Witten - The Cowboys figure to be passing a lot on Thursday.

4. Chris Cooley - Look for McNabb to target Cooley early and often against the 3-7 Vikings.

Next In Line

Zach Miller - The Raiders passing game should get back on track at home and vs. the Dolphins.

Brandon Pettigrew - Each week he continues to improve. The Patriots have holes in their secondary.

Kellen Winslow – The aggressive Ravens D will have Freeman looking in Winslow’s direction much of the afternoon.

Rounding Out the List

Vernon Davis – His success is largely dependent on the QB situation. He should still be a fine play against the Cardinals on Monday Night.

Greg Olsen – The Eagles have been vulnerable to opposing TEs.

Bo Scaife - We expect the Titans to attack Houston through the air and down the middle of the field.

Dustin Keller – He had a strong game vs. Cincy in the 2009 Playoffs.

Kevin Boss - The loss of Hakeem Nicks will place more of a reliance on the Giants TE.

Visanthe Schiancoe - If S Laron Landry is out again, this bodes well for Schiancoe.

Tony Gonzalez - The middle of the field may be the ideal spot for the Falcons to target.

Aaron Hernandez - He’s been largely invisible for the past two weeks but this is a good spot for a rebound.

Fantasy Sleeper of the Week

Jimmy Graham – Expect Brees to include his TE into the game plan especially around the goal line.  He’s a solid fantasy sleeper against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

1. Vernon Davis – The bye allowed him to rest his injury. He’s the top ranked fantasy football TE in Week 10 and will play big againt the Rams.

2. Tony Gonzalez – Ryan will target him heavily on Thursday.

3. Jason Witten - The Giants great pass rush will mean short passes to Witten all afternoon.

4. Chris Cooley - The Colts TE Tamme just lit up the Eagles. Cooley will do so as well.

Next In Line

Dustin Keller - Expect him to be a focal point against the Browns. The Pats TE Aaron Hernandez hauled in 2 TDs last Sunday.

Aaron Hernandez - The versatile TE will receive a lot of looks from Tom Brady.

Jacob Tamme - Is anyone missing Dallas Clark? Tamme’s numbers suggest the Colts don’t. He’ll thrive vs. the Bengals.

Rounding Out the List

Heath Miller - The Steelers will attack the middle of the secondary with Miller against the Pats.

Todd Heap – Expect Flacco to have his TE more involved in the passing attack this Thursday Night.

Mercedes Lewis – His 1st half of the season was stellar and the Texans pass defense is poor.

Kellen Winslow – The Panthers are done. QB Josh Freeman will look heavily to Winslow on Sunday.

Brandon Pettigrew – The 2nd year TE is growing and is a tough matchup on Safeties. The Bills won’t be able to cover him.

Tony Moaki - The talented rookie TE will be a menace to the Broncos secondary.

Fantasy Sleeper of the Week

Benjamin Watson - The Jets are the best at taking away the outside receivers, so look for Cleveland to target Watson a ton  over the middle on Sunday. He’ll have between 5-7 catches and reach the end zone. He’s a solid fantasy sleeper in Week 10.
