The Giants are coming off a sensational triumph in Seattle and won 4 games in a row depending on themselves to make the playoffs. The Cardinals are coming to East Rutherford NJ after dropping 4 of their last 5 the exception being a w freak win against the Bills with the Hail Mary. But, there is a mismatch in this game and also another element that makes me suspicious about the Giant's chances to cover the +3 line: the Cardinals will assault the Giants aerially and in that department the Giants won't be able to counter like they did in Seattle with 5 sacks as the Cardinals won't allow that and are well prepared for it. Add to that the Cardinals super motivation to stop the losses by activating Fitzgerald and still hoping to make the playoff with 1-0 mentality as Murray (Cardinals QB) said earlier and here we go with the competitive game when two sides are really eager to win. Now, let's look back who did the Giants beat and what was their motivation to win? All except Seattle - no motivation. What happened in Seattle? One time win that matched the teams' disposition as the running game the Seahawks introduced played into the hands of the Giants while making a super effort with sacks and slowing the pace of the game down. Will it happen today? Unfortunately (I'm a Giants fan) - No.
