San Francisco (2-3) at NY Giants (4-2) Sunday 1:00 pm EDT

<div class="pre">EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- If the New York Giants</div>take care of business the next two weeks, they will be 6-2 andin prime playoff position heading into their bye week.

Winners of four straight, the surging Giants continue afavorable stretch in their schedule Sunday when they host theSan Francisco 49ers.


Next week, New York heads across the pond to face the winlessMiami Dolphins in London.


After an 0-2 start, the Giants seem to have all facets of theirgame working, but coach Tom Coughlin knows his team can't getcaught up looking that far ahead.


"We've won four in a row and we've kind of done it in differentways," Coughlin said. "We're excited about that. We have manyimportant games to go."


Eli Manning passed for 303 yards and two touchdown passes onMonday night as the Giants routed the Atlanta Falcons, 31-10, toclose within one game of the first-place Dallas Cowboys in theNFC East.


Amani Toomer enjoyed a record-breaking night for the Giants,catching his 587th career pass and breaking Tiki Barber's teammark. Toomer also grabbed his 48th TD reception, tying KyleRote's Giants' record.


New York's defensive transformation has been remarkable. Aftersurrendering 97 points in the first 2 1/2 games, the Giants havegiven up only 23 points in the last 14 quarters.


Their success starts up front with probably the best one-twopunch at defensive end in Pro Bowlers Michael Strahan and OsiUmenyiora, who leads the NFL with seven sacks.


After missing two games with a shoulder injury, Alex Smith hopesto return this weekend for the 49ers, whose offense hassputtered with Trent Dilfer at the helm.


In his two starts, Dilfer has completed just 24-of-62 passes for254 yards. The 49ers managed only 10 points in losses toSeattle to Baltimore.


If Smith is not ready, the Giants will be re-acquainted withDilfer, who beat them, 34-7, in Super Bowl XXXV as a member ofthe Baltimore Ravens.
