well Ive noticed a lot of of similarities between the two. Both times 90% of experts said they would finish fourth in the east. Second year as a Giant for Collins same as Eli. Tiki had a "breakout" years. Weak secondary I feel good about the game verse Carolina. If we shutdown Steve Smith we win the game thats how i look at it. Both defenses are inconsistent and have injuries, but Ill take our front 4 matchup against Offensive Line thats been IMO a bit of a letdown.
I think Tiki is carrying the offense on his back. Eli needs to make better decisions. He had a great first half of the year but fell into a slump.
The matchup i would be looking at is Osi Umenyoura against Travelle Wharton. Wharton is very inconsitant. He didnt allow Simion Rice to get a tackle or a sack in a game in Tampa, but allowed like 3 or 4 sacks against the bears. If Wharton can stand up to Umenyoura, Jake wont make as many stupiud mistakes
