My Prediction
Atlanta Falcons by 8Cracking our knuckles and diving into the nitty-gritty of this face-off, let's have a quick gander at the Giants and the Falcons. The Giants, for their part, have been picking up daisies in the shadow of their own goalposts with a discouraging 2-12 regular season record this year. Their recent form has been akin to a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest with defeats to Baltimore, New Orleans, Dallas, Tampa Bay, and Carolina. Hands behind the steering wheel include Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito, but they've spent the last four weeks as though they poured school glue into their own offense, hardly worth a cheer.
The cherries of the Giants' sundae? Malik Nabers with his 298 total yards and Tyrone Tracy racking up 253 total yards and 2 touchdowns in the past month. But even Buenos Aires won't cry for the Giants' defensive lineup, where Micah McFadden and Tyler Nubin stand out, but not enough to save the ship from sinking.
Facing off against this dismal display, we have the Atlanta Falcons, a team that's installed more revolving doors than IKEA, with a wash at 7-7 for the regular season. Kirk Cousins has been under the spotlight at quarterback, but if he were butter, he wouldn't melt with just 589 passing yards in the last month. The saving grace? Top offensive performers like Bijan Robinson with his 236 total yards and 2 touchdowns, and Ray-Ray McCloud III, who posted 194 total yards this past month.
Flip the pillow to the cool side and Atlanta's defensive line is a bit cheerier. Feisty players like Kaden Elliss and Jessie Bates have done solid work but let's not forget this is the NFL, not swing dancing - mere attempts won't cut the mustard.
Well, folks - sorry, habit - looking at the data in front us, the entire situation feels akin to choosing between a soggy sandwich and day-old sushi. However, the pace of the game would vouch for a clear winner.
